His career was kinda already over, or at least on the skids. Nowhere near the first team squad and failed loan spell before that. I bet Cafu and the likes are embarrassed about the hyperbolic comparisons now, the guys just a plodder that got a tiny bit of praise cos he likes to put the boot in, and he's a Scouse. Good riddance to him when he inevitably gets punted out to some Championship team - no place for wankers like that who karate kick their birds when on the ale.
There's always been stories about him being a bit of cnut right from his debut in and around Liverpool. Likes the nightlife apparently and likes to act Billy Big Bollocks. He could always audition for the new Goonies rejig seen as the original Sloth sadly passed away.
