'''Marcus Stephen Hahnemann''' (born June 15, 1972) is an American former professional [[Association football|soccer]] player who played as a [[Goalkeeper (association football)|goalkeeper]].

Graduating out of [[Seattle Pacific University]], he played for the [[Seattle Sounders (1994–2008)|Seattle Sounders]] between 1994 and 1996. Between 1997 and 1999 he turned out for the [[Colorado Rapids]], signing with English club [[Fulham F.C.|Fulham]] in 1999. Unable to become the first-choice goalkeeper at Fulham, he enjoyed loan spells with [[Rochdale A.F.C.|Rochdale]] and [[Reading F.C.|Reading]], before signing permanently with Reading in 2002. In 2009, following 276 league appearances for the club, he transferred to [[Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.|Wolverhampton Wanderers]].

He has won nine caps for the [[United States men's national soccer team|United States]], featuring as backup for [[Kasey Keller]] and [[Tim Howard]] in two [[FIFA World Cup|World Cups]]. Following his debut for the U.S. in 1994, he played two further games within the same month; however, he had to wait almost nine years before his next international appearance, making him a player with one of the longest-ever gaps between caps.

==Early years==
Hahnemann grew up in the Seattle area in [[Kent, Washington|Kent]] and attended [[Kentridge High School]] where he was named the team's MVP his junior season. He transferred to [[Newport High School (Bellevue, Washington)|Newport High School]] in [[Bellevue, Washington]] for his senior season. That year, he kept eleven clean sheets en route to being named the All-King County goalkeeper.<ref name="Seattle Pacific University">{{cite web|last1=Moschetti|first1=Mark|title=Catching Up With ...

He played college soccer for the [[Seattle Pacific University]] Falcons. A Division II powerhouse, Hahnemann led SPU to the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]] [[NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament|Division II National Championship]] in 1993. Over his four seasons at SPU, Hahnemann had a 64–9–5 record as a starter, with 46 career clean sheets.<ref name="Seattle Pacific University"/>

Hahnemann's professional career started when he signed with the [[Seattle Sounders (1994–2008)|Seattle Sounders]] of the [[A-League (1995–2004)|A-League]] on May 1, 1994.<ref>{{cite press release

In 1996, the Sounders repeated as champions while Hahnemann kept eleven clean sheets and made 119 saves.

===Colorado Rapids===
Hahnemann waited until 1997 to join [[Major League Soccer]] (MLS), signing with the [[Colorado Rapids]]. His first appearance was on April 20, 1997, coming on as a substitute for [[Paul Grafer]]; Hahneman then started the next 23 MLS league games that season,<ref name="coloradorapids.com">[https://web.archive.org/web/20151005125400/http://www.coloradorapids.com/post/2014/12/04/former-colorado-rapids-keeper-marcus-hahnemann-hangs-his-gloves Colorado Rapids New]</ref> and he also appeared in the U.S. Open Cup.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1997-07-31-9707310123-story,amp.html|title = Stingers Pull off a Shocker|website = [[Chicago Tribune]]}}</ref> In his first season in MLS, the Rapids went all the way to the [[MLS Cup]] before losing 2–1 to [[D.C. United]]. 
During his second season in 1998, he set a club record for the most games and minutes played in a single season by a goalkeeper, playing 2,520 minutes in 28 games and compiling a 16–12 record, and was named their Defender of the Year.<ref name="coloradorapids.com"/>

===Fulham===
After two and a half seasons with the Colorado Rapids, he signed with [[Football League First Division|English First Division]] club [[Fulham F.C.|Fulham]], for £80,000 in June 1999. He failed to displace [[Maik Taylor]] in goal though, and only made four appearances (two in the league) in total for the London club (all during their promotion season of [[2000–01 in English football#Football League First Division|2000–01]]).

With [[Edwin van der Sar]] signed upon promotion by Fulham, Hahnemann slipped further down the pecking order and to gain playing time, he was loaned out to lower league sides [[Rochdale A.F.C.|Rochdale]],<ref>{{cite news|title=Marcus Hahnemann|url=http://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2001/november/08/marcus-hahnemann|publisher=Fulham Official Website|date=November 8, 2001|access-date=April 10, 2014}}</ref> and then, [[Reading F.C.|Reading]] during the 2001–02 campaign.<ref>{{cite news|title=Peyton Welcomes Move|url=http://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2001/december/16/peyton-welcomes-move|publisher=Fulham Official Website|date=December 16, 2001|access-date=April 10, 2014}}</ref> He made six appearances for the latter as part of [[2001–02 in English football#Nationwide League Division Two|their promotion]] from the third tier. At the end of the 2001–02 season, Hahnemann was released by the club after spending three years.<ref>{{cite news|title=Keeper Released|url=http://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2002/july/01/keeper-released|publisher=Fulham Official Website|date=July 1, 2002|access-date=April 10, 2014}}</ref> Hahnemann then signed a one-month contract extension after spending time with the club.<ref>{{cite news|title=Extra month for Marcus|url=http://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2002/july/05/extra-month-for-marcus|publisher=Fulham Official Website|date=July 5, 2002|access-date=April 10, 2014}}</ref>

===Reading===
Hahnemann then joined Reading permanently in the Summer of 2002 on a free transfer, becoming their first choice 'keeper.<ref>{{cite news|title=Hahnemann departs|url=http://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2002/august/14/hahnemann-departs|publisher=Fulham Official Website|date=August 14, 2002|access-date=April 10, 2014}}</ref> His first full season with the ''Royals'' saw them miss out on promotion to the Premier League in the [[Football League Championship Play-Offs#2003|play-offs]], before two successive seasons saw them narrowly fall short of further play-off finishes.

He missed just one game of the [[2005–06 in English football#Football League Championship|2005–06 season]] that saw Reading win promotion to the top flight of English soccer for the first time in their history, as they topped the [[EFL Championship|Championship]] with a record 106 points. He was named in that season's ''Championship Team of the Year'' by the [[Professional Footballers' Association]].<ref>{{cite news|date=April 23, 2006 |url=http://www.givemefootball.com/display.cfm?article=8213&type=1 |title=The PFA Team of the Year: Coca-Cola Championship |publisher=[[Professional Footballers' Association]] |access-date=May 24, 2006 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061020114549/http://www.givemefootball.com/display.cfm?article=8213&type=1 |archive-date=October 20, 2006 }}</ref>

His first season in the Premier League saw him keep thirteen clean sheets as the club finished eighth, only one place short of European qualification. He made the most saves (139) in the Premier League during 2007,<ref>{{cite news | first=Rob | last=Bateman | title=Opta statistical snaps for 2007 | url=http://sport.setanta.com/en/Sport/News/Football/2007/12/31/Opta-statistics-for-2007/?facets/sport-space/football/north-america-locale/ | date=December 31, 2007 | access-date=July 5, 2008 | publisher=Setanta Sports }} {{dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> but could not halt relegation in their second Premier League campaign.

He remained with the club for one further season as they attempted an immediate return to the top level, but Reading ultimately lost out to [[Burnley F.C.|Burnley]] in the play-off semi finals. Subsequently, Reading announced that they would not renew Hahnemann's contract making him a free agent.<ref>{{Cite journal |title=Reading release four, including Hahnemann |url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=646565&sec=england&campaign=rss&source=soccernet&cc=5901 |publisher=[[ESPN Soccernet]] |date=May 15, 2009 |access-date=May 15, 2009 |archive-date=May 26, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110526022643/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=646565&sec=england&campaign=rss&source=soccernet&cc=5901 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

===Wolves===
On June 17, 2009, Hahnemann signed a one-year contract with newly promoted Premier League side [[Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.|Wolverhampton Wanderers]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Wolves draft in keeper Hahnemann |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/wolverhampton_wanderers/8105049.stm |work=BBC Sport|date=May 17, 2009}}</ref> He was back-up to first-choice [[Wayne Hennessey]] for the opening four months, until Hennessey conceded four goals in two successive games and lost his place to Hahnemann. Hahnemann remained first-choice keeper for the remainder of the season, helping the club attain survival. His form ranked him as "the Best Goalkeeper in the World" using the [[Castrol Performance Index]] system,<ref>{{cite news|title=Wolves' Marcus Hahnemann 'is best goalkeeper in Europe' |url=http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/oddballs/842455-wolves-marcus-hahnemann-is-best-goalkeeper-in-europe|date=September 29, 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Marcus Hahnemann is the best goalkeeper in the world! |url=http://paddytheflea.wordpress.com/2010/06/30/marcus-hahnemann-is-the-best-goalkeeper-in-the-world/|date=June 30, 2010}}</ref> helping earn him a one-year contract extension.<ref>{{cite news |title=Marcus will be back again |url=http://www.wolves.co.uk/page/News/0,,10307~2048464,00.html |publisher=wolves.co.uk |date=May 11, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100514112850/http://www.wolves.co.uk/page/News/0,,10307~2048464,00.html |archive-date=May 14, 2010 |df=mdy-all }}</ref>

However, the 2010–11 season saw the team enter a dismal run of form that left them bottom of the league and in danger of relegation. Hahnemann was dropped after a defeat to relegation rivals [[Blackpool F.C.|Blackpool]] in late November and did not feature again. He was released at the end of the campaign, after the expiry of his contract.<ref>{{cite news|title=Wolverhampton Wanderers release keeper Marcus Hahnemann |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13630819.stm |work=BBC Sport|date=June 2, 2011}}</ref>

===Everton===
On September 23, 2011, Hahnemann signed for [[Everton F.C.|Everton]] on a short-term deal.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/7195956/hahnemann-to-join-everton|title=Hahnemann to sign for Everton|work=Sky Sports|date=September 23, 2011}}</ref> He was released from the club on May 18, 2012, without making a first-team appearance, along with Scottish international [[James McFadden]] and four others who also did not feature in the first team.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/2012/05/18/six-players-released |title=Six Players Released |publisher=Evertonfc.com |date=May 18, 2012 |access-date=May 18, 2012 |archive-date=June 22, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120622160446/http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/2012/05/18/six-players-released |url-status=dead }}</ref>

===Seattle Sounders FC===
On September 14, 2012, Hahnemann made his long-anticipated return to the Sounders. Seattle traded a conditional [[MLS SuperDraft|draft]] pick to [[Toronto FC]] for the number one allocation slot, so they would be able to sign Hahnemann.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.soundersfc.com/post/2012/09/14/sounders-fc-acquires-marcus-hahnemann|title=Sounders FC Acquires Marcus Hahnemann|date=September 14, 2012|publisher=Seattle Sounders FC|access-date=July 2, 2017}}</ref> At Seattle, Hahnemann was a backup behind [[Michael Gspurning]].

On October 24, 2012, he made his debut against [[C.D.

In 2013, Hahnemann started six [[MLS Reserve League]] matches and played 242 minutes in the preseason, but on August 3, he finally made his first MLS appearance for Seattle, keeping a clean sheet in a 3–0 win against [[FC Dallas]].<ref name=Seattle/> This marked his first MLS game in 14 years and 44 days, the longest lapse in appearances in league history.<ref name=Seattle/> In total, he made four MLS appearances in his first full season with the club in 2013, winning two and drawing two, and playing his last match on October 19, and in doing so at the age of 41 years and 124 days, Hahnemann became the fourth oldest player in MLS history, only behind [[Kasey Keller]], [[Preki]], and [[Pat Onstad]].<ref name=Seattle/><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://fansided.com/posts/15-oldest-players-mls-history |title=Top 15 oldest players in MLS history |website=fansided.com |date=9 April 2024 |access-date=24 October 2024}}</ref> In the [[2013 MLS Cup Playoffs#Knockout round|Knockout round]] (wild card) of the [[2013 MLS Cup Playoffs]] against Colorado Rapids, Hahnemann came from the bench in the 87th minute after a red card was issued to Gspurning, and with him on the pitch, his side scored a goal to seal a 2–0 win. He then started in the first leg of the Western Conference Semifinals, which ended in a 2–1 loss to the [[Portland Timbers]].<ref name=Seattle/>

In 2014, Hahnemann only played two matches for Sounders, both in the U.S. Open Cup, first recording a clean sheet in a 5-0 win over [[PSA Elite]], and then denying the San Jose Earthquakes in penalty kicks after a 1–1 draw on 24 June,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.soundersfc.com/news/marcus-hahnemann-announces-retirement-professional-soccer |title=Marcus Hahnemann Announces Retirement from Professional Soccer |website=www.soundersfc.com |date=8 December 2014 |access-date=24 October 2024}}</ref> and in doing so at the age of 42 years and 10 days, he became the oldest player in the competition's history, a record that has since been broken by [[Claudio Muñoz (footballer, born 1981)|Claudio Muñoz]] in 2024.

Hahnemann made his international debut for the [[United States men's national soccer team|United States national team]] on November 19, 1994, in a 0–1 friendly defeat to [[Trinidad and Tobago national football team|Trinidad and Tobago]]. He played two more games in the rest of the year.

Hahnemann did not play for the U.S. again until June 8, 2003, when he played the first half of a 2–1 friendly win over New Zealand in [[Richmond, Virginia]].<ref>{{cite news |title=U.S. SOCCER: Americans beat New Zealand, 2-1, in Richmond |url=https://www.socceramerica.com/publications/article/4302/us-soccer-americans-beat-new-zealand-2-1-in-r.html |access-date=February 11, 2021 |work=Soccer America |date=June 8, 2003}}</ref> The game was a warm-up for the [[2003 FIFA Confederations Cup squads#USA|Confederations Cup]], for which he was selected.<ref>{{cite news |title=SOCCER; U.S. National Team Selects Three From the MetroStars |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/05/31/sports/soccer-us-national-team-selects-three-from-the-metrostars.html |access-date=February 11, 2021 |work=The New York Times |date=May 31, 2003}}</ref>
