Early life
Born in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, Guthrie attended Thomas Telford School from the age of 11 until 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.
Club career
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.
Southampton (on loan)
On 2 March 2007 Guthrie signed for Southampton on an emergency loan deal until the end of the month[3][4] which was subsequently extended to the end of the season.
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.[5] 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.[6] 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.
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.[7] 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 6 August, by scoring against PSV Eindhoven at St. James' Park on his home debut. On 17 August, Guthrie made his competitive debut alongside fellow debutants Jonás Gutiérrez and Fabricio Coloccini in a 1–1 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford. On 13 September Guthrie received a late red card being sent off in a home loss to Hull City, following a cynical hack at Craig Fagan, who was later revealed to have broken his leg.[8] He scored his first Premier League goal for Newcastle on 14 December as part of a 3–0 away win against Portsmouth. His second goal came on 26 December from the penalty spot as part of a 2–1 away loss to Wigan Athletic.
In the 2008–09 season, Guthrie featured regularly and formed a midfield partnership with Nicky Butt prolonged by an injury sustained by Joey Barton, the former Manchester City player having temporarily kept Guthrie out of the starting line-up following a return from suspension. For his performances during the season he gained praise from the media and fans alike, becoming a surprise favourite with the Toon Army as a result.[citation needed]
Guthrie became more of a regular in the 2009–10 season as Newcastle, relegated from the Premiership, began life in the Football League Championship. He scored three goals in three games, netting in the 4–3 League Cup win over Huddersfield Town, and then scoring the only goal in a 1–0 win over Leicester City, then in the 2–2 draw against West Bromwich Albion. Guthrie played very well in 6–1 win over Barnsley scoring two goals and picking up the man of the match award in the process. He had his best season with Newcastle in the Championship, scoring 5 goals from 43 games and having his team's highest number of assists (13). [9]
He took part in Newcastle's pre-season fixtures, playing in the 2-2 draw with PSV Eindhoven on the left wing, and in his more comfortable central midfield role alongside Joey Barton in a 2-1 defeat to Rangers. He missed the start of the season with a knee injury, missing the opening fixtures against Manchester United, Aston Villa, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Blackpool. He returned to contention in October after making a string of reserve team games. He returned to play against Wigan Athletic in a 2-2 draw, playing on the right wing. He was dropped for the next game after an unimpressive display.[10]
Guthrie was an out of favour player with Newcastle after the signing of Chieck Tiote in the 2010/11 season. The consistent form of Joey Barton and Kevin Nolan also kept the 24 year old on the bench throughout much of the season and he only managed 1 assist in 2010/2011 season.
A knee injury suffered in pre-season kept Guthrie out of the first few months of the 2011/12 season and made his return in the 4-3 Carling Cup defeat to Blackburn, scoring a long range goal in the process. Due to an injury to Tiote, Guthrie started both the games against Stoke & Everton, playing well as Newcastle won both.
