To make us all feel old: Brian McBride is 50 years old

My favorite player of all time.

Crazy to think he's 50. How time flies. One of those rare types that leave a positive impression everywhere they go.

 

Thanks for making me feel old(er). McHead is part of the golden generation of US Soccer who set the foundation both at a club and country. Favorite player? They are all my favorite players. Ok, may be Cobi because he used to piss off the CONCACAF (especially Mexico) teams.

 

He grew up idolizing Adu.

 

I thought McBride was the toughest player in USMNT history until Dempsey showed up.

 

I'm old enough to remember when BigSoccer thought our WC2002 was doomed because the derisively-nicknamed McHead was leading the line against a heavily-favored Portugal.

Christ, I've been on here too long.
