| - Steve McClaren (born Fulford, May 3, 1961) is a decent enough club manager who became a laughing stock when he ballsed up the England job and mistakenly thought he could speak Dutch.
- Stephen "Steve" McClaren (born 3 May 1961) is an English football manager and former player. His managerial career began at Middlesbrough in the Premier League, who won the League Cup in 2004 and were runners-up in the 2006 UEFA Cup final. McClaren then served as manager of England from August 2006 to November 2007. He was sacked after England failed to qualify for the 2008 European Championship. In 2008, McClaren became manager of FC Twente, with whom he won the club's first Eredivisie championship in the 2009–10 season. He then worked as manager of VfL Wolfsburg in Germany between May 2010 and February 2011. After a short spell as manager of Nottingham Forest, he returned to Twente in January 2012.
- Steve McClaren probably had a youth of some sort. It probably involved him being bullied for being Ginger. But you don't really care about any of that. What YOU really want to know about is his prestigious managerial career. Well, um... Steve began his career at Derby County, who he took to six consecutive Championship trophies, three FA Cups and the final of the UEFA Champions League, where his side were narrowly beaten by Barcelona FC. Then his wife told him to stop playing football simulation games on the computer and to get a real job instead. So he did, becoming assistant to sir "his head will burst any minute, just look how red it is" Alex Ferguson at American soccer giants the Manchester United Rowdies. Sir Alex chose Steve as his assistant because he is Scottish, and everybody know

| - Steve McClaren probably had a youth of some sort. It probably involved him being bullied for being Ginger. But you don't really care about any of that. What YOU really want to know about is his prestigious managerial career. Well, um... Steve began his career at Derby County, who he took to six consecutive Championship trophies, three FA Cups and the final of the UEFA Champions League, where his side were narrowly beaten by Barcelona FC. Then his wife told him to stop playing football simulation games on the computer and to get a real job instead. So he did, becoming assistant to sir "his head will burst any minute, just look how red it is" Alex Ferguson at American soccer giants the Manchester United Rowdies. Sir Alex chose Steve as his assistant because he is Scottish, and everybody knows Scots love people who have ginger hair. Eventually, and after having his already dazzling teeth whitened for the purpose, so that Russian cosmonauts could see him from space, Steve accepted his first proper managerial appointment, at Middlesbrough. This godforsaken corner of the British Isles was a haven for expensive foreign mercenaries with careers on the wain, but Steve McClaren turned their fortunes around, winning the English league cup soon after arriving at the club. The cup was later destroyed by the Middlesbrough chairman because he discovered it was made of tin foil, which really set his teeth on edge. McClaren's other achievements at the club saw him take them to the UEFA cup final, a European competition that no-one much cares about, where they were eventually hammered by a bunch of lazy Spaniards. He also took Middlesbrough to new heights of mid-table mediocrity in the league, where the team played football so fluent and exciting that it caused fan's brains to dribble out of their ears. With the sound of Middlesbrough fans tearing their season tickets to shreds music to the FA's ears, they decided after a lengthly interview process to appoint him as the next England manager, because it meant they could get him on the cheap. It also meant that the team would be picked by the man who picked Sven's sides for him. This must be true as Manchester City are riding high in the league and like many of Steve McClaren teams, England now have to rely on other teams to move on.
