蒂姆·霍华德,在去年这个名字可能还不为人所熟悉,但在其加盟曼联后,他那初生牛犊不怕虎的气势让曼联球迷仿佛看到了当初的门神舒梅切尔。他在英超的一炮走红再次印证了弗格森的慧眼独具。2003年8月对于霍华德来说是一生中最难忘的时光,他不仅以230万英镑的身价从地铁明星队加盟欧洲豪门曼联,而且他的爱情也在那一刻开花结果,8月,他同女友劳拉步入婚姻圣殿。而在爱情事业双丰收的光鲜外表下,霍华德却要比常人付出更多的努力。这位场上生龙活虎的门将竟患有罕见的怪病妥瑞氏亢奋综台症(这类患者发病时,全身肌肉会不由自主地抽搐和抖动,时常伴有难以控制的污言秽语)。在与病魔抗争的过程中,霍华德磨练出坚强的意志。这种不屈的精神也为他今日的成名打下良好的基石。高中阶段的霍华德就已展现出过人的门将潜力,在被召入美国 U17青年队后,他参加了1985年厄瓜多尔世青赛,不俗的表现让他坚定了对足球的信念。在 Tim Howard, who may not be familiar with last year’s name, was not afraid of being a newcomer to Manchester United after joining Manchester United, as if Manchester United fans had seen Schumer.
