Maybe you’ve seen him out shopping.

Maybe you’re his friend or a relative.

Or maybe you’ve clocked the man in the boozer watching the football.

But however it has transpired, we want to know the answer to one question.

A question that has troubled many for some time.

And one that nobody has got any nearer to answering.

Just where IS Steve Finnan?

On Monday night, the ECHO Arena will allow itself to wallow in nostalgia as it hosts the Istanbul Reunion night to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Liverpool Football Club’s most famous night.

For one evening only, the venue will become a mini Ataturk Stadium (in slightly more salubrious surrounds) with those present able to relive the match – including that tortuous first half.

The entire Liverpool matchday squad from Istanbul has been invited to the event, including cult figures such as Djimi Traore and Igor Biscan.

Well, that is except for one player.

Because nobody can find Steve Finnan.

Finnan may have played only the first half at Istanbul before succumbing to injury, but he featured in all bar one Champions League match en route to the final.

All told, the former Republic of Ireland international right-back played 217 games for Liverpool and scored just the one goal – against West Bromwich Albion.

He appeared in a League Cup final, an FA Cup final and another Champions League final for the Reds before moving to Espanyol in 2008.

Finnan then switched to Portsmouth in 2009 before making his final appearance as a professional at the age of 34 in the 1-0 defeat to Chelsea in the 2010 FA Cup final.

Since then, nothing. Nada. Zilch.

A building company previously linked with Finnan have been unable to help the event organisers in finding the former Red.

When Finnan arrived in 2003 from Fulham to challenge for the right-back spot, Jamie Carragher said: “There’s not a lot you can do, except impress the manager in training and in games. Or find out Finnan’s address and send the boys round!”

Perhaps the organisers of the forthcoming event should take note, albeit in a less threatening manner.

So, if you see Finnan around, don’t be shy to give him a gentle reminder he’s wanted on the Liverpool waterfront on Monday night.
