 | | A.D. Dempsey, son of sharecroppers in Trawick, worked in a foundry and raised six children, one of whom, Aubrey, Clint's father, was a linebacker and captain of the high school football team. |
 | | Dempsey only briefly relinquished his starting role with the Revolution last July, after the team trainer noticed Dempsey's jaw was broken -- Dempsey's persistence and tolerance for pain allowed him to play two games before the injury was detected. |
 | | Dempsey played only briefly in the FIFA World Championships in the United Arab Emirates, the US eliminated by Argentina in the quarterfinals, but the fact that he was on the squad encouraged MLS teams to scout him. |
