Clint Dempsey inducted into Soccer Hall of fame

Clint Dempsey takes his proper place among American soccer greats.

Contributors: Sounder At Heart Staff

Arguably the greatest male soccer player from the United States and a legend with three professional clubs, Deuce is calling it quits. Clint Dempsey’s time with the Seattle Sounders and the U.S. Men’s National Team is done. He finishes tied for the most goals all-time in an American kit (Donovan) and most regular season goals as a Sounder (Montero). His legacy is legend. His history is the history of American soccer over the past 15 years.

Saturday, September 1, prior to the Sounders hosting Sporting Kansas City, Dempsey will be honored by the club at 12:45 PM. Fans are also invited to sign a farewell display.
