The news today that Brian is leaving Fulham TO RETURN TO THE U.S TO PLAY may have been expected for awhile, but it was still a shock to hear it actually confirmed.
His return from an ugly kneecap injury earlier in the season to help guide the Cottagers to retain their status in the Premiership, at a time when that prospect seemed unlikely, is stirring stuff for those who believe that hard work and dedication are still important today. The one game in my mind is the mid-March HOME WIN against an Everton team fighting for a Champions League spot, with McBride hitting home a crucial second half goal for a deserved victory. Everton coach David Moyes gave McBride a compliment that was seemingly par for the course for McBride's career.
'I don't like anybody scoring against but Brian is a great player, great professional and he deserves everything he gets.'.
There's a very nice thread on the Fulham message board full of support and appreciation for what McBride has done in terms of being a leader for his team and for being a good role model for younger kids to emulate. Good luck to you Brian and continued success for the next stage of your career in the MLS.
