Born in Bootle on this day, 11th February in 1972, McManaman signed for Liverpool at the age of 14 and made his debut in 1990.

On This Day 10th Feb-We Signed?
The last couple of seasons or so has seen some players names added to Anfield folklore. For instance, take Andy Robertson. Hands up who realistically thought we were signing a future legend when we acquired Robbo from Hull? But for every legend created there are so many other players who have not been so exulted […]
The Kids Are Alright
So much was said in the build up to the FA Cup replay against Shrewsbury about Liverpool playing a weakened side. The words ‘disrespect’ and ‘contempt’ were bandied about in some quarters. Yes we did field a team devoid of first team regulars as Jurgen Klopp promised. And, as it happens, the team selected was […]
Men Against Boys
Men Against Boys – Well Done The Boys It was supposed to be Everton’s best chance to win at Anfield for 20 years. Quoting one of the well known cliche’s it was in fact billed as men against boys. You probably know what that means but in case you don’t, it was supposed to be […]
Jordan Henderson-A Special Mention
Over the years I think it’s fair to say that Jordan Henderson has divided opinion amongst the Liverpool fan base. To say the least. In fact if you listen to some of the ‘experts’ on the club’s website message board you’d think he couldn’t trap a bag of cement. I must admit I do laugh […]
Liverpool World Champions 2019
Well, it’s not every day you get to say that is it. As we all know we’ve not had chance to say at all in the entirety of our illustrious 127 year history in fact. But thanks to this present squad and management we can now. So, let’s say it!! Liverpool World Champions. I must […]
Top Of The League
Hasn’t that heading got a certain ring to it. Top of the league. Sounds good doesn’t it. Mind you as good as it sounds let’s not carried away. Let caution prevail and let’s trip out all the tried and trusted cliches. You know the ones, “you don’t win anything in October”. “It’s a marathon, not […]
Great Run Continues
Never mind the quality feel the width is a well known phrase used in a variety of situations. Yesterday was a case in point to a certain extent. At times we played really well, but at times we were slightly sloppy. The important thing though is that our great run continues. In league games obviously […]
So Far So Good
So far so good with regard to the results this season. Three wins out of three, albeit one of those was on penalties. But nevertheless, a great start results wise. You may have noticed that I put the word “results” in twice in the opening paragraph. Yes, the results have been great. But the performances? […]
We Go Again Soon
Well that was quick wasn’t it. What I mean is the pre-season break. It’s gone in a blink of an eye. We are so close to “We Go Again” time. It only seems five minutes since the Champions League victory but incredibly it’s been nearly nine weeks. Where’s that time gone!!! Yes indeed, we go […]
