American Soccer Players who've returned to MLS from Europe
With Brian McBride recently announcing his return to MLS, I wondered which other American players have gone to Europe and then come back to the States to play in Major League Soccer. There's the controversial Landon Donovan return from Germany, the "it was supposed to be triumphant" Claudio Reyna return, and quite a few other "we didn't play much over there" players. Here's the American players currently in the league that have spent some time playing in Europe earlier in their careers.

How about John Thorrington?
ReplyDeleteI missed Thorrington. Thanks tacologic, he's added now.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Ian Joy of RSL play for Columbus or something before heading to Europe?
ReplyDeleteIan was with the Crew briefly in 2003 but never saw any action.
ReplyDeleteRegardless, I forgot to put him on the list, Thanks hammerfan!
I can provide a link to the list of all Americans who have played (or are still playing) in the Danish Superliga (since 1991 when it was Founded and replaced the danish 1st Division at the highest league in Denmark) :

Kampe = games, Mål = goals, Ind = in, Ud = out, Gule = yellow, Røde = red ...
.
Didnt go too well with the link I see, so I added the link from the post above to the URL box...
