"His name is Darren... Huckerby, and he is a legend, a LEGEND of soccer". Silly Yank.I came across an interesting video earlier today that I felt obliged to share.
After failing to get a new contract at Norwich, Darren Huckerby has gone to the MLS to get some first-team football.
The San Jose Earthquakes his destination, and so he came to do an interview on American News network KRON.
The expression on Huckerby's face when being asked questions from an American reporter who clearly hasn't done his research is stark. Then again, its to be expected, and if the former Lincoln man can help the MLS's quest for credibility then good luck to him.
I don't think it'll ever gain credibility in the eyes of Europe however. Let's face it, most of David Beckham's wages are paid for by the MLS itself, in an attempt to gain attendances for the flagging L.A Galaxy.
That said, I'll be keeping an eye for how Darren Huckerby and other ex-English League "legends" get on. Paulo Wanchope, Abel Xavier, Laurent Robert, and of course Danny Dichio!
An interesting thought has come up at that, I'm crossing my fingers that over the coming weeks The Earthquakes will sign Drewe Broughton, and the KRON can interview him.
"He is a legend of the English League, known as the Journeyman, he won the league and cup last season with Milton Keynes, and was the man who scored the penalty that won the Football League South Division Finals."
