Hadn't seen this posted anywhere yet - former United, UVa and US Olympic defender (and charismatic United announcer) Clint Peay has joined on as an assistant coach at Georgetown. Nice to see Peay staying involved in the game. I've always thought he'd be a good head coach some day. http://www.guhoyas.com/sports/m-soccer/spec-rel/012703aaa.html Also, Tim Convey, Bobby Convey's younger - but bigger - brother is going to be one of the players Peay is coaching. No official word from the school but according to these websites, the younger Convey is G-town bound. (Scroll down to Georgetown.) http://studentsports.theinsiders.com/3/soccercommitments.html http://topdrawersoccer.com/tds/NextStep/recruits1.html/view Also, here's a story from the Philly paper about the younger Convey and playing in Bobby's footsteps. http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/2002/10/08/sports/high_school/4234358.htm Incidentally, Tim Convey wil be the second brother of an MLS player on the Hoyas. Jeff Curtin, brother of the Fire's Jim, was the Big East Freshman of the Year in 2002 and made Soccer America's freshmen All-America team.
Re: Re: Peay to Georgetown - Convey too I had never heard of her, but a little Yahoo search pulled this up: http://www.fcps.k12.va.us/WoodsonCenter/staff.htm The pic shows someone in a Penn State shirt, so I think that's her.
Re: Re: Peay to Georgetown - Convey too Ba-dum-bump! That's actually Jon Conway's older brother Tim... But what about Bobby Convey's other, much older brother Bert?
funny guy Tim was brilliant on "McHale's Navy." I can see where Bobby gets his sense of humor. DC's gonna be Out-A-Control once Timmy hits town.
Clint Peay I dont know him personally, and i am sure he is a great person, but i hope he is a much better coach or assistant coach than he was a player. As a player he was way too slow, and with terrible skills with the ball, not that i can expect much, him being a defeder and al. He was below average with DC, and should have ot started all those gaes. I hope coaching is what his soccer invlovement is all about.
I don't think it's fair to dump on Clint Peay. When the season started, he wasn't up to the level of play in the league, but he showed marked improvement during his short stay here. By mid-season, I was no longer uncomfortable seeing him back in the D. I think that says good things about his ability to think, learn, and adjust; all good coaching qualities.
In Peay's last-ever game, he scored against LA. For performing this simple act, he earns my eternal gratitude.
Clearly, with Peay's physical abilities (lack of them I mean), he would never have made it as far as he did if he didn't have something going on upstairs. Most of your better baseball managers were mediocre players.
