Germany

In 1994, McBride left the United States to ply his trade in Germany. At the time, VfL Wolfsburg played in the German Second Division and provided several aspiring American players an opportunity to play football in Europe. These included Chad Deering, Claudio Reyna and Mike Lapper, as well as McBride. McBride struggled to find playing time with the club and also had difficulty scoring. However, one of his two goals came in an 2-1 upset victory over Bayern Munich in the German Cup quarterfinals. At the end of the season, McBride gained a release from Wolfsburg and when MLS was created, chose to return to play in the United States.

Loan spells in England

While playing for Columbus in the MLS, McBride spent two loan periods in England. The first came in 2000 when McBride played for Preston North End, then managed by David Moyes. While McBride played well for the club, he sat out several games after having a blood clot surgically removed from his arm. The clot came as a result of a hard collision McBride had suffered during his first game with Preston. As McBride's loan spell came to an end, Preston attempted to purchase his contract from MLS for $1.8 million. MLS rejected it, considering McBride to be worth twice that amount.[2] Two years later, Premiership club Everton was beginning to slide down the table. David Moyes, now with Everton, remembered McBride's success with Preston and sought the forward's services to help Everton. During McBride's three months with the club, he did not disappoint Moyes, scoring four goals in eight games, including his first game with the club, a victory over Tottenham. He made close friends during the short time with players such as Leon Osman (who he stills plays soccer-ball with) and Richard Wright.[3] Everton, unlike Preston, merely sought to extend McBride's loan period, but MLS rejected it, preferring a transfer over an extended loan for McBride.[4] Preston North End Football Club are a professional English football team. ...

Brian McBride playing for Fulham

In January 2004, English Premiership club Fulham bought McBride's rights from MLS for $1.5 million. By this time, McBride was approaching the end of his contract with MLS and the league sought to profit from his transfer as much as possible. They had retained McBride in MLS in order to maximize on his appeal to the fans, but did not want another situation similar to Joe-Max Moore who left MLS for Everton for little more than a token transfer fee. Therefore, the league settled for less than even Preston had offered in 2000 to transfer McBride to Fulham. When McBride arrived in Fulham, he scored his first goal in his debut game - against Tottenham again.

McBride's original contract with Fulham continued only through the 2005-06 season. However, on March 10, 2006, he signed a one year extension which took him through the end of the 2006-07 season. On February 2, 2007, he signed yet another one year extension, taking him through the 2007-2008 season. He has a reputation as a battler with a high work rate, a trait prized in English football. He is known as one of the best in the world in the air[citation needed], with his leaping ability and powerful frame allowing him to battle with big central defenders.

McBride's headers fall for teammates, or threaten the opponent's goal.
