At 14 years old, Freddy Adu had the world at his feet. He
was the youngest athlete in US history to sign a professional contract when he
joined DC United, instantly becoming the poster boy for US soccer.
He starred in a commercial with Pele, Jay-Z rapped about him
and his reputation preceded him all over the world.
However, after disappointing stints in DC and with Real Salt
Lake, Adu made the move to Benfica in 2007. He was then loaned all around
Europe before returning to the States with the Philadelphia Union.
Adu is still only 24 but has played for nine clubs in nine
years, scoring just 27 goals in the process.
