The tale of number two goes back to Clint’s college days back in Dallas and with his first MLS club, New England Revolution.
“It was a number I used when I was in college and then when I turned professional in the MLS,” said Clint, one of five nominees for the U.S. Soccer Male Athlete of the Year award.
“When I was in the MLS, my mum pulled out an old jersey and got it framed for me and that was the number – number two.
“It’s a number that has significance to me and for me, it’s a ‘man makes the number, number doesn’t make the man’ type of thing. It’s something I identify with, I’m happy to be wearing it and I’m delighted people are picking it up.”
