[edit] Playing career

As a player, McClaren was a midfielder who spent most of his career in the lower leagues of English football. After leaving Hull City, he played for Derby County, Lincoln City (on loan), Bristol City and Oxford United before an injury forced him to retire in 1992 <ref name="Profile"> "Rock solid Steve" - BBC Sport profile, 4 May 2006 </ref>.

[edit] Coaching/managerial career

Shortly after hanging up his boots, he began his coaching career as reserve team coach at Oxford, where Jim Smith was manager <ref name="Profile" />. In 1995, he became first-team coach, and later followed Smith to Derby, where he was his assistant manager <ref> "Jim Smith backs protege McClaren" - BBC Sport, 4 May 2006</ref>. In December 1998, he accepted the opportunity to become assistant manager under Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, replacing Brian Kidd. His first half-season was marked by United not losing any games, taking the Treble in the process.

In the summer of 2001, McClaren was offered the position of manager of Middlesbrough by club chairman Steve Gibson, and was successful in the role. He achieved an FA Cup semi-final place in his first season, losing to Arsenal. He was then in charge as Middlesbrough won their first ever major honour, winning the League Cup in 2004 against Bolton Wanderers at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, taking them into European football for the first time and overseeing the recruitment of many big-name international footballers to the club, including former Chelsea star Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. He also has pushed the team to reach their highest finish in the Premiership, 7th in the 2004-05 season, which gave them another run in Europe. In the 2005-06 season, Middlesbrough achieved a semi final place in the FA Cup and they lost 4-0 to Sevilla of Spain in the UEFA Cup final in May <ref name="Profile" />.

McClaren was awarded a honorary degree by the University of Teesside on the 24th November 2006.
