Born Clinton Drew Dempsey on March 9, 1983 in Nacogdoches, TX, he played for one of the top youth soccer clubs in the state, the Dallas Texans.

He joined the Tottenham Hotspurs in August 2012 for a three-year contract fee with a fee of around £6 million. He is now the highest paid US football player of all time.
As a member of the national team, Dempsey first represented the USA in the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championships in the United Arab Emirates. His first appearance with the senior team was in November 2004 against Jamaica. He was then named in the 2006 World Cup squad and scored the only goal of the team in the tournament. He recorded the fastest goal made in the US World Cup qualifying history in just 53 seconds in their win over Barbados. He made another record by scoring in just 36 seconds in their 1-2 loss to Jamaica. During the 2010 FIFA World Cup, he scored against England making him the second American, next to Brian McBride, to score goals in multiple World Cup tournaments.
