From Free net encyclopedia
Image:MarcusHahnemann.jpg Marcus Hahnemann (born June 15, 1972 in Seattle, Washington) is an American Football (soccer) goalkeeper, who currently plays for Reading in the English Football League Championship.
Hahnemann's pro career started in 1994 with the Seattle Sounders of the A-League. He waited until 1997 to join Major League Soccer, signing with the Colorado Rapids. After two and a half seasons there, he signed with English club Fulham, but did not see much playing time. In 2001, he was loaned out to Rochdale, and then to Reading. He then joined the latter club permanently, and has been their first choice 'keeper ever since.
Hahnemann has a great relationship with the Reading fans, handing his goalkeeper's shirt to a member of the crowd after every match. In the April 2006 issue of FourFourTwo magazine he revealed that the club had ordered him to stop doing this due to the expense, but he refused and began buying new shirts at his own expense from the club shop.
As of the end of the 2005 CONCACAF Gold Cup, Hahnemann has earned five caps for the U.S. national team, his first coming on November 12 1994 against Honduras.
He participated in FourFourTwo magazine's feature My Secret Vice in early 2006. His 'secret vice' was that he is a petrolhead.
