My conversation with Tim Howard

[Kurt.]

Always liked the Americans who played for us Howard, Landon, Brian McBride, Joe Max-Moore etc

All household names …





In their own houses

Great actor - wore a wig

Up pompeii and carry on films to name a few

You’re thinking of Michael Howard the ex Tory leader.

A bit harsh …. Lol

the US have a produced a few keepers who played in the PL for pretty long periods of time. Funny how this didn’t really translate to outfield players

I remember when he jumped like a starfish over the top of the ball and let a soft goal and we all called him Tim Coward…. Oh man what a day that was

Beat me to it with his star jumps lol

I liked Clint Dempsey … thought he was pretty decent to be fair

Saw him last year at the Everton event in DC. It was genuinely moving how he spoke about how important Everton was in his life especially in times of difficulty in his personal lives. Also, huge biceps

…..terrific goalkeeper, servant & Evertonian. I like him and rate him lots.

Tim Howard will always be one of ours.

I met him in Baltimore a year ago the night before the Arsenal friendly, spoke with him for about 5 minutes. I asked him if he thought the club did enough to boost their stature in the States after that World Cup with the whole "Secretary of Defense" thing they had with him and Landon Donovan etc. He said "Of course the club did everything they could". I replied back "yeah...except anything tangible? They didn't really do a tour of the States since then?"

That basically was the end of the conversation. He's a club bootlicker. Kenwright especially.

As I put on my initial post, Tim is how I became a fan and have been a diehard one ever since. By far the best GK the USA has ever had, and maybe some others before my time as a fan, bound to be one of the best to ever play for the Blues too.

Anyway, I am bored haha so just wanted to share a time when I had a prolonged conversation with my favorite keeper.

It was back in 2017 and the USA had an open training session and there was a chance aftewards to meet some of the players(Though most went straight to the locker rooms without interacting with the fans at all smh). Anyway, I had on my Howard Everton GK shirt of course haha, and I was one of the last to see Tim right before he went in.

Now, most fans just got an autograph and went about their business. But me, I had driven a long distance to get to this session and wanted to engage Tim or heck anybody lol, in conversation. When he saw my shirt he smiled and said, 'Just a fan of me or me and the Blues?' I told him, 'Both, my good sir'(Not sure why I said it like that....but anyway). And we just dived into a conservation, probably lasting around 15 minutes or so, about the Blues, the USMNT, and just the sport in general. Eventually, a guy came up to him(I think security haha and sure he had been there the whole time but I just did not notice him) and Tim said he had to go, shook my hand, and off he went. He talked about how much he loved playing for Everton, how much the fans meant to him, etc.

One of the best days of my life I must admit friends lol.

Another reason I posted about this is that Tim's obvious admiration for the club even after not playing for the Blues anymore at that point is the same one I have and really everyone should feel about being a Blue: Through the ups and downs, the good and bad, us Everton fans stick together and need to continue to do so to bring this club back to where it belongs.

Any other Howard related stories will be greatly appreciated!

ETID.

Nice read, he seems like a nice guy!

Really? He loved playing here and still loves the club. Oooh the horror!

He was on air when headlock-gate was talked about and IMMEDIATELY went on about how inappropriate from the SUPPORTERS and all was. Theres a difference between loving the club and loving what Kenwright pisses down his leg with.
