Kasey Keller

 
Kasey Keller, nicknamed "The Truth" by many passionate fans, (born November 29, 1969 in Lacey, Washington, United States) is a soccer (football) goalkeeper, four time World Cup participant and one of the first American goalkeepers to become a regular in the English Premier League.
 
Kasey was named U.S. Soccer Athlete of the Year in 1997 and 1999. In 2000, Keller signed with the Spanish club Rayo Vallecano and played there for two years. He came back to England and the Premier League in 2001, signing with Tottenham Hotspur. Relegated to backup duty for Neil Sullivan early on, he won the starting spot, and played every minute for Spurs in both the 2002-03 and the 2003-04 seasons. Keller was second choice to Brad Friedel in the 2002 FIFA World Cup. He has earned 96 caps for the US and is the team's all-time leader in wins and keeping cleansheets (shutouts).
 
On January 15, 2005, Keller joined German Bundesliga side Borussia Mönchengladbach on a free transfer during the Bundesliga's winter break. He got off to a good start in the Bundesliga, keeping a clean sheet in his first appearance for Borussia. Keller played every minute in the second half of the season and kept a total of seven clean sheets in that period, playing an important role in saving the club from relegation.
