Steve Finnan

[carloz]

Is he still expecting big wages?? There is no reason whatsoever he cant play for a good Championship club.

[Colbert Report]

Still no word on his situation. How long did Stephen Carr sit out before he got picked up?

[Charlie Darwin]

Carr actually retired as far as I know and Alex McLeish just happened to give him a phone call.

[Murfinator]

Any word on steve? He's never officially retired so somewhat odd he hasn't had a club in a year.

[dotts101]

was he not at pompey???

[DannyInvincible]

His contract was up in 2010 and the club didn't offer him a new deal. Being in administration might have had something to do with it.

[DannyInvincible]

As an aside, bit of an outlandish top search suggestion for Finnan on Google.co.uk...

[Murfinator]

ahhh the internet

Has any Irish player in recent memory dropped off the radar quite as spectacularly as Steve Finnan. An FA Cup final appearance in 2010 and then gone! He was only 34 and had played a bit in his final season too... Did he just fall out of love with it all or what?

For a defender with a fair few injuries behind him, it's hardly 'only 34'. He was never a very public type, I'd say after Portsmouth he took a look at what offers were available, and quietly retired.

Seems to be the case alright. I'd class him as one of our most under-rated and under-utilised players (shunted out on the left or left on the bench) of the last 15 years or so.
Met him and Kenny Cunningham up in Fillys/Club 92 YEARS ago. They were both drinking orange juice and were really really lovely fellows, even being interrupted on their night to ask about their injuries by a slightly drunk young man in his early 20s. I often think we should have a game, or a show of appreciation for a number of players who have retired in the last few years.
