Anton Peterlin

So... earn a good wedge as a respected member of the medical profession... or make a killing playing the passion of your life as a soccer superstar? 

Anton Peterlin is determined to do both, having rather smartly dodged the MLS schilling in order to finish his "basic training" in medical school at ___, California.  His passion for "proper" football (as opposed to that yankee throwball crap) was maintained through the long hours of medial study by playing for Ventura County Fusion, a Premier Development League team existing in the fourth tier of US soccer.

It was against them that Everton played a "secret" friendly in 2008 and it was then, we can surmise that Anton Peterlin first attracted the attention of David Moyes.  'Anton really impressed myself and the coaching staff with his attitude and undoubted ability,' said Moyes, giving the young American a one-year deal to prove himself at the advanced age of 22.
