The footballer and his family are living back in Merseyside after a stint in Los Angeles. Steven admitted that the time in the USA, where he played for LA Galaxy, helped him to bond with his family even more.
“The kids have seen me so free and easy,” he said.
“They’ve been surprised that, whatever they asked me to do in LA, I’m like, ‘Yeah, come on, let’s do it.’
“At home if they want to go to the swimming baths or a fairground, it’s tough. You have to be selective about where you go because there is so much attention on me.”
