Finnan's Espanyol surprise

Former Liverpool defender Steve Finnan has admitted his move to Espanyol left him a little bit surprised. The Irish full back admitted it was an exciting prospect for him.

"It was totally out of the blue," Finnan told the Liverpool Post.

"It's exciting to be going to a great club in Spain but I didn't want to leave.

"But it was obvious that I wasn't going to get a game by staying so I didn't really have much choice."
