Clint Dempsey Retires

[PaulUMD]

Put out a statement today saying he was stepping away from the game for good. He and the club never got the storybook ending together due to Clint's ambition and the club's imminent relegation, but there was a lot if magic during his time at Fulham.

[Holders]

He was a great Fulham player who ultimately won Roy over and gave us one of our finest moments. I wish him a happy retirement.

[Lighthouse]

Will always be part of the legend of his time with us. Nobody will forget his Juventus goal. Happy memories and I guess once his time was over here it all fell a little flat. But great times and nothing but good luck to him in the future.

Happy retirement Clint! Was a great player in his prime.

[elgreenio]

going to focus on his music career???

Wonderful player for us, in the most part anyway.

[Carborundum]

Absolutely terrific player.  Brave, great finder of space, scored one of the best headed goals I have ever seen.  Quite good at chipping under pressure too.  Wish him all the best.

[Fernhurst]

Wonderful player for us in his prime, culminating in a quite majestic goal never to be forgotten.

Thank you Clint and every good wish to you and your family whatever you decide to do next.

Beat me to the post.. Dempsey will always be a great, especially for U.S. Soccer.  I say if Spurs didn't steal him (and Dembele) away, we would have never gone down.

Top man for us.

I'm sure he will get plenty of interesting offers and remain in the game in some capacity.

[Andy S]

Top man Clint Dempsey. Thank you for the memories @nd good luck in your retirement and the rest of your mifepristone whatever it involves

A Fulham legend there is no doubt, and that goal will live with me forever

[gezkc]

A great player for Fulham and provided a lot of very happy memories. Thanks for everything, Clint, and enjoy your retirement!

Thanks Clint for all the memories. It's great supporting a club over the years and having so many great players (or not so great) that become legends for you. Good luck in everything you do now.

When we signed Clint I thought he was another poor American player.
I saw clips of him on UTube and thought he looked a good player.
When he played for us it was one of the best signings we had ever made.
His style of play and his goal scoring record were outstanding.

I agree with the clip describing the goal he scored against Juve as out all time great goals.

Good luck Clint to you and your family hope you have a happy retirement.

Don't forget to come and visit Craven Cottage. We will make you very welcome.

Clint will always hold a special place in my Fulham memories as he scored some important goals for us.  I'll never forget the feeling when that chip against Juve hit the back of the net. I was sad to see him leave us when he decided to move on, but he deserved the chance at taking the next step.  Thanks for the memories, Deuce.

A great player for us and that goal against Juventus is  one always to be remembered.


Funny thing is I think that season he had when he scored  17 premiership  goals made Spurs think of him as a striker and they then wanted him.
In fact he was great as a midfielder for us but never shone for Spurs as a striker.

[Dodgin]

Good player for us, wish him well.

Good luck Clint,enjoy the retirement. Great memories always put in a shift, top fella.

[The Rock]

Good luck to Clint - just shows how far we had fallen and how far we have come. It all changed when Maf checked out and Dembele and Dempsey went to Spurs.
