Early life

edit

Howard was born inNew Brunswick, New Jersey,[10]the son of African-American truck driver Matthew Howard and his Hungarian wife Esther (née Fekete), who worked for a container packing distributor.[11][12]His father moved out "before [Howard] formed [his] first memory"[12]and his parents divorced when Howard was three.[13]Afterwards, Howard lived with his mother.[14]Howard was diagnosed withTourette syndromeandOCDwhen he was in the sixth grade.[13][15][16]

In 1991, before Howard was a teenager,Tim Mulqueen,a one-time assistant coach for theU.S. under-17 soccer team,saw Howard's potential at a single $25 soccer coaching session. He took Howard under his wing, offering him free soccer coaching.[17]When Howard was 14 and 15 years old,Peter Mellor,the former professional goalkeeper who was coaching for theUnited States Soccer Federationand writing the curriculum for the first U.S. Soccer National Goalkeeping License for coaches, saw the 14-year-old Howard in an Olympic Development Player camp, identified him as a star of the future, and placed him in the Olympic Development Program.[18][19][20]Mellor also helped Howard obtain his work permit appeal after he joined Manchester United from the MetroStars in 2003.[18]

Howard attendedNorth Brunswick Township High School.[21]Howard proved a star not only in soccer as amidfielder,but also on the basketball court, where he averaged 15 points per game and helped bring his team to the state finals in his senior year.[22]During high school, he played for Central Jersey Cosmos.[23]In 1995, Howard was part of the U.S. under-17 squad.[23]

Club career

edit

In 1997, Mulqueen became the coach of theNorth Jersey Imperials,[24]a team in the United Systems of Independent Soccer Leagues (USISL), and served as the goalkeeping coach forMajor League Soccer(MLS)'sMetroStars;he considered Howard for a position on the Imperials. Howard signed with the Imperials and played in his first professional game before graduating from high school.[25]He notched six appearances with theNorth Jersey Imperials.[24]

MetroStars

edit

Howard was brought up to the MetroStars by Mulqueen, who at the time was the MetroStars' goalkeeping coach.

Howard was victorious in his MLS debut with the MetroStars on August 18, 1998, making five saves in a 4–1 win over Colorado at Giants Stadium (his only appearance of the year). He later played in one game with the Nike Project-40 Team, a 3–1 win over the Staten Island Vipers at Giants Stadium on May 6, 1998.

With the MetroStars during the 1999 MLS season, Howard made eight starts in nine contests. Howard had a 1.58 GAA and won just one match in a season in which the Metros won just seven games. He also spent most of the international season with the United States Under-20 team, leaving the club to compete in the1999 FIFA World Youth Championshipin April and the1999 Pan American Gamesin July.

Howard posted a 5–2–2 record with a 1.59 GAA in 2000, splitting time between the MetroStars and the United States Olympic team, also winning all three of hisU.S. Open Cupstarts that season.

Howard won the 2001MLS Goalkeeper of the Yearaward, recording 146 saves and finishing the year with a 1.33 GAA,[26]four shutouts, and a 13–10–3 record.[27]He also received theMLS Humanitarian of the Year Award.[26]

Howard played in 27 of 28 regular season games in 2002 for the MetroStars, recording four shutouts.[27]He was named to theMLS Best XIfor the second straight season. Before leaving the MetroStars in 2003, he appeared in thirteen games and had three clean sheets[27]as the club challenged for first place during the season's first half.

Manchester United

edit

Manchester Unitedpaid a US$4 million transfer fee to sign Howard in the middle of the 2003 MLS season, and he replacedFabien Barthezas the club's first-choice goalkeeper.[28]

Howard started off very well at Manchester United, saving the decisive penalty in theCommunity ShieldagainstArsenal.Other notable performances followed, includingBolton Wanderersand a homeFA Cuptie victory overManchester City.In March 2004, however, Howard's poor parry handed a last minute goal toPorto,eliminating United from theUEFA Champions League.[29]The error appeared to shatter Howard's confidence and he was replaced byRoy Carroll.[citation needed]After a period of rest, Howard reclaimed his starting position ahead of Carroll for the2004 FA Cup Final,picking up a winner's medal. He was the second American player to collect a winner's medal in the FA Cup, afterJulian SturgisofWanderersin the1873 final.Howard was also named in thePFA Team of the Yearin his first season at Manchester United.[30]

In Howard's second season with Manchester United, he started poorly, making several errors and was dropped again for Carroll. After Carroll made several errors as well, Howard regained the starting position but his performances were unconvincing, leading to Carroll regaining his place again, playing in the FA Cup final defeat to Arsenal.

At the end of the2004–05 season,Howard signed a new contract, which was to run until 2009. In the summer of 2005, Manchester United released both of his competitors for the goalkeeper position –Ricardoand Carroll. However, they also bought experienced Dutch goalkeeperEdwin van der SarfromFulhamsoon after.

"It was cruel. You saw the back fours and the keepers not being able to believe balls all night, and at the back one wrong step and it can be a nightmare. For our goal I was disappointed from a goalkeepers' union standpoint. You never want to see that happen. It's not nice, it's embarrassing, so I felt for Adam but you have to move on from it."

Tim Howard, on his first goal.[35]

During the2011–12 Premier League season,Howard scored his first goal in professional soccer in a 2–1 defeat toBolton Wanderers.His wind-assisted 101-yard clearance at Goodison Park made him only thefourth goalkeeper to score in a Premier League matchsince its formation in 1992.[36]He described his goal as "cruel" andrefused to celebrateout of sympathy/respect for his beaten opposite number,Ádám Bogdán.[35][37][38]
