My Take
Eddie Lewis earns my respect for crossing the Atlantic at a time when American soccer commanded little international credibility. Over a 14-year career he didn't just dabble in England, he logged real seasons at Fulham, Preston, Leeds, and Derby, surviving the unglamorous grind of English football. At 178 cm he struck me as the industrious left-sided runner who wins matches with stamina and delivery rather than flash. The UCLA education and his later turn to entrepreneurship round out a picture of someone always pushing forward. I like players who treat going abroad not as a payday but as a test, and Lewis clearly passed it.
