Lewis, who spent his entire European career in English football, played for four different clubs in the English F.A. spending time in both the Premier League and the Championship. The move back to America teamed him up with star Landon Donovan, who is now trying to make a move similar to the one Lewis made, albeit in a different country, to the top levels of European football.


Lewis’s experience with both the European game and the unique talents of Donovan made him the perfect person for Goal.com to interview for a take on how Landon will fair overseas.
