Dale Mulholland
Dale Mulholland (born August 16, 1964 in Tacoma, Washington) grew up in Manitou, South Tacoma and is a former US professional soccer player (FIFA registered) who has had a gypsical career in soccer taking him all over the world starting back in 1985 with TSV Reichenbach 05 of West Germany. He has served as a unique and pioneering ambassador like none other before him in the history of US soccer. Soccer truly is his passport to the world.
==Playing career==
His most notable career achievement was breaking into the USSR professional soccer league after pounding down the barriers and never taking ‘no’ for an answer. He did so during the seemingly unbreakable era of the Soviet Union in a period referred to as ''Glasnost'' while riding the wave of ''Perestroika'' that ultimately saw the collapse of the USSR Empire. Originally, he transferred from the Orlando Lions in 1989 to the Sing Tao Tigers of Hong Kong before he contracted for two years with Lokomotiv Moscow of the Soviet First League starting in 1990 and became the first and only American ever to do so. Simultaneously, he sent his Russian teammate, the former USSR jr. national team player, Alexander Golovnya, to take his place in Orlando in a ‘player swap’ of sorts before transferring back to the US and the Miami Freedom of the APSL (American Professional Soccer League) in 1991 for a season.
Upon the completion of the APSL season, Mulholland was sent to the UK to West Brom Albion (then under manager Bobby Gould) but within two days found himself shanghaied by former England International Tony Morley to test at Aston Villa where he trained under Ron Atkinson and Andy Gray during the winter of 1991 before heading back again to live and play behind the Iron Curtain only this time with historically famous FC Dukla Prague in the Czechoslovakian’s top flight of football. There he contracted until 1995.
One of his teammates at Dukla, Pavel Nedved, went on to become one of the world’s most famous players in recent history winning the European and World’s Player of the Year Award while Mulholland seemed to drift on in relative obscurity in Eastern Europe rejecting offers from GAK Graz, Austria and other semi-well known clubs in Central Europe. Additional offers were made by FC Magdeburg of the former DDR (East Germany) and other notable Eastern European teams all rejected either by him or his club and so Mulholland never made it into Western Europe as expected and although being invited by Bora Milutinovic to the general player’s selection camp, disappointingly did not get selected to the US National Team roster for the 1994 World Cup.
