Q1: (submitted by David Ashely, Pittsburgh PA) How has the transition from Fullham to Tottenham been? Any major differences between the two squads?
Clint: The transition has been very smooth and easy. The Tottenham fans have welcomed me with open arms, which isn't always the case with American players. I think they see how well I fit into the culture of the Hotspurs and fully understand I give 110% each time I'm out on the pitch. There aren't to many differences between the two teams. I loved everything about Fullham and the opportunities they provided me, it was simply time to move on. I feel like everyone at Tottenham is on the same page working towards the same goal, an EPL championship.
Q2: (submitted by Tommy Morris, St. Louis MO) Who has been the toughest opponent(s) you have gone against in the EPL?
Clint: Wow that is a tough question. I would have to say the toughest midfielder I've played against is Steven Garrard. The guy has a knack for the ball, plays hard all 90mins, and never takes his foot off the gas. Even in his old age (dont tell him I said that) he still gives myself and our team fits. The toughest keeper I've played against is actually my current teammate Brad Friedel. Maybe it is just because I've known Brad since I came up with the United State National Team, but he just has the instincts for stopping my shots and keeping his team in games until the very end. I am glad he finally has my back. Oh yeah and that Tim Howard guy is pretty good too.
Q3: (submitted by Tracy Williams, Albany NY) How has your family adjusted to living in Europe?
Clint: It has been nothing short of fantastic. Bethany (Clint's wife) is an amazing mother and a very supportive wife. She makes sure this family keeps going. It is definitely a unique experience that all of us will no doubt look back on and be glad it happened. Unfortunately I wont be playing forever, so within the next 4-5 years I would expect that we will be back in the states permanently. I love all the interesting things Europe has to offer, but nothing beats a good backyard Texas BBQ.
Q4: (submitted by Casey Adams, Manchester England) Why did you decide to sign with Domination Athletics? Being an international superstar, it would seem like you could sign with anyone you wanted like Nike or Adidas.
Clint: I certainly have had the opportunity in the past to become part of other companies teams, but I never felt comfortable with the way they either did business or the direction they were wanting to go. DA had a lot of characteristics that I saw in myself, and I wanted a chance to help build their brand into a giant like Nike or Adidas. I am extremely happy with my decision and look forward to this partnership for many years.
Q5: (submitted by Cleetus Jones, Jonesboro AR) Clint, I know you are a big fisherman, what type of fish do you like to fish for and what is the biggest fish you ever caught?
Clint: Well I would have to say I am a pretty big bass fisherman. That is my area of expertise and the type of fishing I enjoy the most. I have two bass boats and probably over 30 reels. The biggest fish I ever caught was a 500lb blue marlin while I was vacationing in the South Pacific. It was an unreal experience and a great story that I will be able to tell my kids probably more times than they would want to hear.
