Brian McBride article

On the offal.

 

Thanks Barry for posting, I ain't going to lie, I can't tell you how many times I've gone back to the Nooo Brian thread and watched his highlights.

 

Terrific interview, thanks for posting!

Fantastic interview. McBride is among a group of Americans I've been proud to watch compete or associate with English football. On the pitch, I never get tired of hearing ManUre fans moan about Friedel. I enjoy seeing Howard put on great performances for Everton. And it goes without saying that I think the American contingent at Fulham have made a major contribution to our club staying up in the post-Tigana era at SW6.

Off the pitch, Lerner and Krulak over at Aston Villa are doing a fine job in all respects. They've shown great respect for the game and the history of the club they own and I know their fans have responded well to that. After all the controversy with the Glazers, Hicks, Gillette, et. al., it is nice to hear a group of English fans chant the name of an American owner in a positive fashion.

Somewhere in the mix of all that is McBride. A man whose skill, work ethic,
character, and demeanor won him the status of a legend at Fulham and a considerable amount of admiration from fans of other clubs.

 

If memory serves I think his first in a Fulham jersey was a knock-in past Keller (Spurs?).

 

that is outstanding....on the scoresheet in his frist and last match at the Cottage.
