My Take

Charlie Davies is, to me, a study in resilience. The forward from Manchester, New Hampshire sharpened his game at Boston College before chasing the dream abroad with Hammarby in Sweden and Sochaux in France. But his name will forever be linked to a devastating 2009 car accident that nearly ended everything on the eve of a World Cup. That he fought his way back onto the pitch tells you all you need to know about his character. I have a deep respect for athletes who refuse to let circumstance define their final chapter, and Davies wrote a comeback story worth remembering.
