Steven McManaman is an English former professional footballer who played as a winger. Nicknamed "Macca," he is one of the most decorated English footballers to have played for a club abroad and is regarded as one of the best players of his generation, with the UEFA website stating in 2012 that "of all England's footballing exports in the modern era, none was as successful as McManaman." During his nine years at Liverpool F.C., he won the FA Cup and League Cup, while individually, he was the Premier League's top assist provider for the 1995–96 season and was named in the PFA Team of the Year for the 1996–97 season. McManaman moved to Real Madrid in 1999, where he won La Liga and the UEFA Champions League twice, becoming the first English player to win the latter trophy with a non-English club, and later became the first English player to win it for the second time. He went on to play two seasons at Manchester City before retiring in 2005. Since his retirement, McManaman has worked as a co-commentator on ESPN and BT Sport's football coverage, as well acting as a La Liga ambassador.
