Major League Soccer: Clint Dempsey’S Rags to Riches Story
Major League Soccer: Clint Dempsey’s Rags To Riches Story Author : Dean Perretta Clint Dempsey’s homecoming to MLS came in the form a blockbuster $9 million switch to the Seattle Sounders in August 2013, thereafter spending six successful years in the English Premier League with Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur. Dempsey is widely regarded and acknowledged as the greatest-ever outfield US-born soccer player in the history of the English Premier League. In addition, Dempsey is also the only US-born player in history to score a hat-trick in the English Premier League and the only US-born player in the history of the English Premier League to score more than 20 goals in one season (Dempsey scored 23 goals in the English Premier League 2011-2012 season). Incidentally, Dempsey wore number 23 whilst playing for Fulham. 1 / 5 Dempsey spent six very successful years playing in the English Premier League, netting 50 times in 184 outings with Fulham from 2007-2012 as an adored fan favorite at Craven Cottage before experiencing a relatively mixed campaign with Tottenham Hotspur in 2012-13 under André Villas-Boas; Dempsey scored 7 goals in 29 appearances for Spurs. The highly driven and determined 35-year-old Texan, who is Irish-American, admittedly grew up in a poverty-stricken environment and resided in a trailer park with his family, whilst garnering an insatiable passion for soccer in competing in high-octane, freestyle-esque street games with kids predominately in Hispanic populated community of Nacogdoches, Texas. During his very humble adolescence, Dempsey attentively studied the artful play and legacy of Argentinean national hero, Diego Armando Maradona, during his formative years in Texas in hope that big dreams would come to fruition; Maradona’s larger-than-life popularity in his beloved Argentina is on par with Che Guevera and The Pope.
