Born and raised in Halewood, McMahon started his playing career at Everton in 1979 having already spent time at Goodison Park as a ball boy.

After 4 seasons with the Toffees, which included 100 league appearances and 11 league goals, as well as being named captain, McMahon moved to Aston Villa in 1983 for £175k. In 1985 he then returned to Merseyside, this time to join Liverpool, becoming the first signing of new manager Kenny Dalglish. He went on to make 277 appearances for the Reds, scoring 55 goals, and helping them to secure three Division One titles, and two FA Cups. After playing 15 games of the 1991-92 season, he signed with Manchester City for £900k on Christmas Eve 1991, making his debut two days later. He played in 87 games for City before an offer came in to become player-manager of Swindon Town. He remained at the Town until 1998, winning the Second Division title in 1995-96, and then he retired from playing. On the international stage, he earned 17 caps for England and represented them at the 1988 UEFA Euros and at the 1990 FIFA World Cup.
