He used to turn up for training with an Everton kit on.
Go down the cricket pitch in whiston an ask for Harry (skip) manager of Whiston Juniors FC where i coach and used to play.
He'll tell ya.
He'll also tell ya Anthony Banachzech was a better player than him at the same age but he stopped playing for some reason or another. Another lad to look out for is Anthony Warrener, he's 16 now and at Preston, anothor lad Skip reckons was better than Stevey at the same age.
He knows his football mate, 17 players made it while he's been at that club.
i remember mcmanaman getting booed by the everton fans for man city earlier this season even though he was also an evertonian as a kid. makes you wander about the intelligence of the blue nose b#stards sometime.
