Football: Transfer window latest - Pogba, Eriksen and Lingard among free agents 


Honours won after moving on a Bosman: La Liga 2001, 2003; Champions League 2000, 2002

Perhaps the first high-profile English player to take advantage of the opportunities Bosman had unwittingly unlocked, McManaman's move to Madrid was massive news.

The England winger had come close to a £12m switch to Barcelona a few years previously and his contract negotiations were a true saga - but he had always stated his wish to play abroad.

Any doubts about his ability to fit in at the Galacticos were soon put to bed. McManaman scored a superb goal in the Champions League final in 2000 as he became the first English player to win the trophy for a foreign club.
