The Steve Finnan mystery appears to have been solved

The former full-back is the only member of the 2005 Liverpool squad who won’t be turning up for an upcoming event.

THE WHEREABOUTS OF Irish footballer Steve Finnan have been the subject of much curiosity of late.

The former full-back is the only member of the 2005 Liverpool squad who won’t be turning up for an upcoming event to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the club’s Champions League win.

The news prompted plenty of speculation about Finnan’s current location, with the #findstevefinnan hashtag prominent on Twitter.

However, Irish Independent journalist Dan McDonnell claims the player is living in London currently. Speaking on Off the Ball last night, he said:

“I gather that Steve’s living in London these days, playing a bit of golf and genuinely not interested in seeking a post-football media career unlike so many of his former colleagues.

“It makes sense as he certainly wasn’t one for seeking the limelight when he was playing.”

    Good player was Finnan. Nothing spectacular but a solid 7 out of 10 in every game for club or country.

    He had plenty of 8/9′s along the way.
    Incredibly modest and selfless pro when on the pitch. Always gave everything.
