As a player I was always labeled as Rambo or the guy who crushed people at the back... You never really knew how the media thought of you. The fact that they voted me in on the first time, it's a real honor.

It's an honor to be inducted with a John Harkes and a Tab Ramos... They've done a lot for American soccer. I played with these guys my whole career, so it makes it even more special. It's kind of funny. Before the 1990 World Cup, Bob Gansler [then coach of the U.S. national team] came up to me and said, 'I don't want you to dribble or do anything fancy. Your job is to win the ball and give it to John or Tab.' I was like, 'Sure, no problem coach.'
