Clint Dempsey
He is one of the best American born soccer players of all time
Dempsey's success in the Premier League continued when he signed with Tottenham Hotspur in 2012 for a then-record fee of $9.6 million for an American player. During his time with Tottenham, he scored 12 goals in one season, bringing his total to 72 goals across all competitions in the Premier League, the most by any American in a top-tier European league. After his stint in England, Dempsey returned to MLS, joining the Seattle Sounders in 2013. He played a pivotal role in the Sounders' success, scoring 47 goals in 115 matches and helping the team secure the 2014 Supporters' Shield. Despite facing health challenges, including an irregular heartbeat that sidelined him during the Sounders' 2016 MLS Cup run, Dempsey returned to the field and continued to contribute until his retirement in 2018.
On the international stage, Dempsey was equally influential. He earned over 140 caps for the United States Men's National Team (USMNT) and scored 57 goals, tying him with Landon Donovan as the nation's all-time leading goal scorer. Dempsey represented the U.S. in three FIFA World Cups, scoring in each tournament, and played a key role in the team's runner-up finish at the 2009 Confederations Cup. He also helped the U.S. win three CONCACAF Gold Cups and was a consistent presence in international competitions throughout his career. His leadership and ability to perform in high-pressure situations made him a cornerstone of the USMNT for over a decade.
Dempsey's contributions to soccer have been recognized with numerous accolades, including his induction into the National Soccer Hall of Fame in 2022. His legacy as a player who broke barriers for Americans in European soccer and his impact on the growth of the sport in the United States are undeniable. Today, Dempsey continues to influence the game as a sports analyst on CBS Sports, sharing his insights and expertise with a new generation of soccer fans.
