[edit] US soccer
Hahnemann played college soccer for the Seattle Pacific University Falcons. A Division II powerhouse, Hahnemann lead SPU to the NCAA Division II National Championship in 1993. Hahnemann currently holds many SPU records, including most career shutouts.
Hahnemann's pro career started in 1994 with the Seattle Sounders of the A-League. He waited until 1997 to join Major League Soccer, signing with the Colorado Rapids.
[edit] English football
After two and a half seasons with the Colorado Rapids, he signed with English club Fulham, but did not see much playing time. In 2001, he was loaned out to Rochdale, and then to Reading. He then joined the latter club permanently, and has been their first choice 'keeper ever since.
Hahnemann has a great relationship with the Reading fans, handing his goalkeeper's shirt to a member of the crowd after every match. In the April 2006 issue of FourFourTwo magazine he revealed that the club had ordered him to stop doing this due to the expense, but he refused and began buying new shirts at his own expense from the club shop.
In April 2006, he was named as one of the Championship Team of the Year[1] by the Professional Footballers' Association along with four other of his Reading teammates.
He participated in FourFourTwo magazine's feature My Secret Vice in early 2006. His 'secret vice' was that he is a petrolhead.
Before Reading's 1-1 draw against Manchester United on Saturday 23 September 2006, Hahnemann was said to have prepared for the match by dressing up as Obi Wan Kenobi[2].
On 27 November 2006, Hahnemann signed a one year extension to his contract with Reading, keeping him at the Madejski Stadium until the summer of 2008[3].
[edit] International career
As of the end of the 2005 CONCACAF Gold Cup, Hahnemann has earned six caps for the United States national team, his first coming on 12 November 1994 against Honduras. He was selected for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, and was allocated squad number 19[4], but was an unused substitute in all of the US's matches behind Kasey Keller.
