Youth

Dempsey's exposure to competitive youth soccer began in Dallas, a three-hour drive from his hometown. His older brother Ryan initially went to a tryout for the Dallas Texans, but Clint was noticed and recruited while passing time juggling a ball.[1]


Dempsey began playing competitively at an early age, but had to curtail his team play, due to family time and money constraints as eldest sister Jennifer was on her way to becoming a ranked tennis player. Soon after, at age 16, she was suddenly struck with a brain aneurysm and died. Clint then resumed team play with the Texans in Dallas, playing with greater motivation than before.[2] He went on to be the captain and high scorer of the Texans and was honored with MVP in the Tampa Bay Sun Bowl. Dempsey has three surviving siblings (Ryan, Crystal, and Lance).


Dempsey studied the play of Argentina, especially Diego Maradona.

In 2004, Dempsey played two games with a broken jaw before the team trainer diagnosed it, and upon his return he played through the pain of a sprained ankle. He has scored repeatedly with diving headers in crowded situations and his quickness in midfield results in defenders frequently fouling him. He was suspended by the Revolution for two weeks in March 2006 for a fist fight with teammate Joe Franchino during a practice game[4], and was twice suspended by the league during the 2006 season for violent conduct against opponents.[5] Joe Franchino (born August 8, 1976 in Fontana, California) is an American soccer player, who currently plays defender for the New England Revolution of Major League Soccer. ...

Trivia

  • Dempsey is a fan favorite not only for the quality of his play, but also for the colorful style he brings to the sport. He is renowned for his eccentric goal celebrations, including jumping into the stands to kiss his mother, imitating a baseball player hitting a home run (standing over home plate at RFK Stadium), a bass fisherman, Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz (by clicking his heels three times wearing all red cleats in Kansas City), "Stop, Drop, and Roll" (against the Chicago Fire), putting on a tricorn hat at a home game and doing a jig, and many others.[18]
  • One of Dempsey's passions outside of soccer is hip hop music. Using the alias "Deuce", he, along with the late Houston rapper Big Hawk, is featured rapping the song "Don't Tread" in a Nike football advertising campaign intended to showcase both the sport's working-class roots and the United States team ahead of the 2006 FIFA World Cup.[19] The song's video is dedicated to his sister Jennifer and at Dempsey's request, it ends with a shot of him placing a flower at her grave.[2]
  • On September 15, 2007, Clint scored Fulham's 1000th Premier League goal against Wigan Athletic.
