Roma vs. Fulham: Clint Dempsey relishing chance to play on stage of his heroes


Clint Dempsey, who grew up in a trailer park in Texas, has admitted he was in awe of Italian greats during his childhood and will relish the chance to play at Rome's Olympic Stadium. The Fulham winger, who was on the bench when Roma stole a draw at Craven Cottage a fortnight ago, is set to start as Roy Hodgson’s team look for the win that would put them in a strong position in Group E of the Europa League.

“I remember growing up watching players like Baggio and Schillaci while Italy were the World Cup winners,” said the American.

West Germany are going to be pretty pissed that they have to give the '90 trophy back.
