Picked this up and posting not because it extols his achievements in the US of A but what he had to say about Fulham. please log in to view this image Still looks jolly fit doesn't he! About Fulham ... "Brian described his time in London with fondness and said that there was a mutual respect between him and Fulham. 'We were very fortunate when we made the move to England. It was something we desperately wanted to do. We thought it was just going to be for two and a half years. (They remained for five years.) We loved it so much'. He added, 'The relationship kept growing and blossoming' He was so popular that Fulham named the sports bar at the club’s home ground Craven Cottage after him. Despite the fact that he has only been at McBride’s once he said, 'It didn’t take me longer than a split second to say oh yeah' when Fulham asked if they could name the bar after him." About MAF (and you know what) .... "Finally McBride was questioned about his thoughts on the Michael Jackson statue that once stood at Fulham’s home ground. He explained that Fulham’s former owner Mohamed Al-Fayed who also owned Harrods had intended to install the statue inside the department store. It instead ended up at Craven Cottage. He summed up it up saying, 'Mr. Al-Fayed is an awesome guy. He’s eccentric but he’s awesome.'" [Mind, all the players thought MAF was 'awesome' given they got a 60% discount at Harrods.] Here's the link to the full article: http://www.examiner.com/article/interview-with-former-usmnt-striker-brian-mcbride?
As you can probably tell I rate Brian McBride as one of my all time favourites. The man gave everything to the shirt while he was on the pitch. I just hope that Fulham under our new regime have not let the opportunity to have him as an ambassador for the club in the US selling our cause to players over there go.
