Post Playing
McAteer has regularly appeared for the Liverpool legends who play in various charity games around the world. In 2005, with the help of friends, McAteer organised Tsunami Soccer Aid which generated over half a million pounds. This was used by Save The Children, Merlin and other charities to help rebuild the worst affected areas of the disaster.
McAteer now works in the media with Asia-based ESPN Star Sports. On 15 June 2009, he was appointed assistant manager to John Barnes at Tranmere Rovers. On 9 October 2009, McAteer was sacked along with Barnes after a run of just two league wins from 11 games.

Famous quotes containing the words post and/or playing:
“A demanding stranger arrived one morning in a small town and asked a boy on the sidewalk of the main street, “Boy, where’s the post office?”
“I don’t know.”
“Well, then, where might the drugstore be?”
“I don’t know.”
“How about a good cheap hotel?”
“I don’t know.”
“Say, boy, you don’t know much, do you?”
“No, sir, I sure don’t. But I ain’t lost.””
—William Harmon (b. 1938)
“Is this then a touch? quivering me to a new identity,
Flames and ether making a rush for my veins,
Treacherous tip of me reaching and crowding to help them,
My flesh and blood playing out lightning to strike what is hardly
different from myself,
On all sides prurient provokers stiffening my limbs,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
