a long, but very good read Part 1 http://jlmd.blogspot.com/2009/02/american-in-london.html Part 2 http://jlmd.blogspot.com/2009/02/american-in-london-part-two.html
It's been too long. It should be an interesting couple months for Spector; hope you stick around for it.
Holy Moses does that kid have his head screwed on straight. Good to know he's done a lot of left foot work since it'd always looked weaker.
The setting amidst the wide avenues and skyscrapers of Canary Wharf in London's Docklands is atypically English. In fact, it looks and feels American, an appropriate setting therefore to meet the player who calls the Windy City home. What first strikes you about Jonathan Spector is how young he looks. Despite his experiences in the tough arenas of the Premier League and international soccer, he still wears the boyish manner and unblemished face of a teenager. But as soon as he starts talking, Spector at once displays a professionalism that recognizes no boundaries. "London is a great city and has a lot more going on than Manchester," he states. "But it is more about where I am playing, not where I am living right now. I would be happy living wherever I am playing football." hmmmmm...

Probably why the links aren't working from the main page. http://jlmd.blogspot.com/ lol, well at least this YANKS ABROAD article is new to me.
Is it the same author? Seems like this was story that was updated...some of it seems to have been written around the time he went to West Ham.
But Sean O'Conor is, along with Seltzer, the guy behind noshortcorners. It wouldn't make a whole lot of sense for the guy to be publishing at three different sites, unless he is just s die-hard West Ham supporter included it there in a blog he maintains just for West Ham stuff. If that were the case, I would think that he would somehow link to where he had originally published it.
