[edit] Early Days

Guthrie attended Thomas Telford School, in Shropshire, from the age 11 till he was 16 while he was also a part of the Manchester United youth academy. He was a member of a very successful football squad at his school, winning many County Cups and reaching the semi-finals in the English School's National Football Tournament. Guthrie then left Shropshire to live on Merseyside at the age of 16 to further his footballing career at Liverpool.

[edit] Club career

[edit] Liverpool

His first appearance with the Liverpool senior team came in the summer 2006 pre-season friendly at Wrexham, where he played as a left midfielder. He made his competitive first-team debut after being named on the bench in a Football League Cup tie against Reading on 25 October 2006, coming on as a 62nd minute substitute for Mohamed Sissoko. A month later he made his Premier League debut, again as a substitute, against Portsmouth. He started his first match for Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League against Galatasaray on 5 December, which ended in a 3–2 away defeat for Liverpool.

[edit] Southampton (on loan)

On March 2, 2007 Guthrie signed for Southampton on an emergency loan deal until the end of the month^[1][2] which was subsequently extended to the end of the season.

[edit] Bolton Wanderers (on loan)

Guthrie spent the 2007-08 season with Bolton Wanderers, who at the start of the season were managed by former Liverpool player and coach Sammy Lee^[3]. Lee left the club by mutual consent in October, and there was speculation that Guthrie would not stay at Bolton for the rest of his loan spell, However, Gary Megson showed faith in Guthrie when he took over and he played intermittently. He scored on his Bolton debut against Fulham in the League Cup. He was also in the starting XI for the Bolton team that drew 2–2 with Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena during the UEFA Cup. Megson further showed faith in Guthrie by starting him in the line up in Megson's second league match, a victory at home to Manchester United. Guthrie completed the season with 25 Premier League appearances before returning to Liverpool.

[edit] Newcastle United

Guthrie signed for Newcastle on 11 July 2008 for an undisclosed fee, believed to be in the region of £2.5m, on a four year contract. His new manager, Kevin Keegan, compared him to former Newcastle favourites Rob Lee and Paul Bracewell. ^[4]. Guthrie made his debut for Newcastle in a pre-season game against Hartlepool United, where he came on at half time and managed to score one goal and create another. He added to this on 6th August 2008 by scoring against PSV Eindhoven at St. James' Park on his home debut. On the 17th of August 2008 Guthrie made his competitive debut alongside fellow debutants Jonas Gutierrez and Fabricio Coloccini in a one all draw aginst Manchester United at Old Trafford. The debut was viewed in a largely positive light with Kevin Keegan describing Guthrie as his man of the match. Guthrie was Kevin Keegan's only signing in the summer for Newcastle United, as all of Newcastle's other signings were decided by Dennis Wise and Tony Jiminez. This lack of transfer control, later led to Kevin Keegans resignation.^[5]
