According to Fulham’s official site Clint Dempsey has made it onto the roster and it looks like he’s got #23 (my old number!). Here is the profile text listed for Clint on the Fulham site:
One of the most dynamic talents to come out of the US game, Dempsey is renowned for his creative attacking instincts and bravery in the air. The 23-year-old Texan scored seven goals in his first season with New England Revolution and was named ‘MLS Rookie of the Year’ for 2004.
In his second season he scored 10 goals and recorded nine assists. He also played against Fulham in the MLS All-Star game, setting up the winning goal.
He was named the Honda Player of the Year for 2006, beating competition from Kasey Keller and Brian McBride in a poll of sportswriters. During the World Cup in 2006, Dempsey started two of the three US games and scored the team’s only goal in the tournament.
I didn’t see OO on the roster yet, but hopefully he gets there too. I can’t wait to see the day the Fulham rips through Chelsea with 4 americans in the starting line up! Maybe its a dream, but it could happen! I wonder when Clint’s first cap will be.
It is cold enough in my home town that I took the Fulham scarf off the wall and will start sporting Fulham rather than Manchester United now!
