McCann finally returned to first-team action at Sunderland in November 2000 following a long absence through injury and went on to enjoy a season of significant achievement.
The tall central midfielder, renowned for his biting tackles and intelligent distribution, timed his return to perfection, immediately catching the eye of new England boss Sven Goran Eriksson.
Selected for the squad for the friendly against Spain in February, he received his first full cap as a second half substitute.
Other highlights for McCann included a sensational goal against Arsenal at Highbury in December when he beat David Seaman from 25 yards, a great strike at Chelsea and a last gasp equaliser against Aston Villa in March.
McCann's contract at Aston Villa was extended to June 2008 in July 2005.
He joined Bolton Wanderers in June 2007 with a three-year contract.
McCann announced his retirement in May 2011 due to an ankle injury.
