English club Everton and United States national team goalkeeper who at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil
became American soccer hero and international celebrity, Tim Howard has
advanced to the next round of fame: a book deal.
Howard has penned a
memoir that will be published Dec. 9 by HarperCollins Publishers. The publisher
said Monday that "The Goalkeeper" will be available in adult and
young adult editions, according to Associated Press.
In a statement issued
through HarperCollins, the 35-year-old Howard says he was eager to share the
highs and lows of his life and career, including his battles with Tourette's
Syndrome, and hopes to inspire others.
World
Cup fans were dazzled this summer by Howard's record-setting 16 saves in the
Americans' 2-1 loss in extra time to Belgium in the second round. He recently
agreed to a multiyear deal to serve as a commentator for NBC Sports Group.
