'''Jonathan Michael Paul Spector''' (born March 1, 1986) is an American former [[Association football|soccer]] player who played as a [[defender (association football)|defender]]. In his 16-year career playing first-team soccer he played over 400 games for club and country, and helped the United States win the [[CONCACAF Gold Cup]] in 2007. He earned 36 caps for the United States national team. He is now the Head of Scouting for MLS side [[Atlanta United]].

Spector started his professional career in England when he was signed by [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] as a teenager, but rarely appeared for the club. He played on loan at [[Charlton Athletic F.C.|Charlton Athletic]], then in 2006 joined [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]], for whom he played over 100 games before he was released at the end of the 2010–11 season. He then spent five and a half seasons with [[Birmingham City F.C.|Birmingham City]]. Spector then played for MLS club [[Orlando City SC|Orlando City]] and had a short spell with Scottish club [[Hibernian F.C.|Hibernian]]. He retired as a player in 2019.

Although he began playing as a striker during his youth career, Spector was converted into a defender as a professional. He most commonly played as a right-back, although he occasionally appeared across the defensive line and in central midfield.

==Early life==

==Club career==

===Manchester United===
Spector was discovered by a [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] scout while playing for the American Under-17 squad at the [[Milk Cup]] in 2003. Originally a striker, Spector was lined up in defense due to injuries for a game the scout had attended to scout other players. Impressed by Spector's defending, the scout alerted the club.<ref name=YAMature/><ref name=espn1/>

Spector joined United in summer 2003.<ref name=espn1 /> He won the club's Young Player of the Year award for the 2003–04 season.<ref name="auto"/> He made his first appearance for the first team in the [[FA Community Shield]] match against [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] in August 2004.<ref name=sb0405>{{soccerbase season|38298|2004|access-date=September 10, 2012}}</ref> In December, United manager [[Alex Ferguson|Sir Alex Ferguson]] announced that Spector would be loaned out to fellow [[Premier League]] side [[Blackburn Rovers F.C.|Blackburn Rovers]] for the remainder of the season.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/4122427.stm |title=Spector to join Blackburn on loan |website=BBC Sport |date=December 23, 2004 |accessdate=June 24, 2007 }}</ref> However, Ferguson was soon forced to postpone the deal due to an injury crisis in the United defense.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/4139471.stm |title=Man Utd put Spector loan on hold |website=BBC Sport |date=January 1, 2005 |accessdate=June 24, 2007 }}</ref> The injury crisis continued and Spector was not able to make his loan move before the transfer window closed on January 31, 2005. Before the start of the [[2005–06 FA Premier League|2005–06 season]], Spector went on a season-long loan to another Premiership club, [[Charlton Athletic F.C.|Charlton Athletic]], to obtain more first-team experience.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/4673369.stm |title=Charlton clinch Spector loan deal |website=BBC Sport |date=July 11, 2005 |accessdate=June 21, 2007 }}</ref> He finished the season with 16 starts and eight substitute appearances.

===West Ham United===
[[File:Spector102009.jpg|thumb|Spector with [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]] in 2009]]
Spector was signed by manager [[Alan Pardew]] for [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]] in a deal initially worth £500,000 in June 2006, ending his association with Manchester United after eight appearances.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/5084032.stm |title=West Ham sign Man Utd's Spector |website=BBC Sport |date=June 15, 2006 |accessdate=June 15, 2006 }}</ref> He made his debut for the club in the first round defeat of the [[UEFA Cup]] against [[U.S. Città di Palermo|Palermo]] in Sicily on September 28,<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.whufc.com/News/Articles/2006/09/30/spector-staying-positive-after-debut-frustration_2 |title=Spector staying positive after debut frustration |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304045401/http://www.whufc.com/News/Articles/2006/09/30/spector-staying-positive-after-debut-frustration_2 |archivedate=March 4, 2016 |publisher=West Ham United FC |date=September 29, 2006 |accessdate=May 17, 2015 }}</ref> going on to make twenty-eight appearances in all competitions in the 2006–07 season.<ref name=sb0607>{{soccerbase season|38298|2006|access-date=September 10, 2012}}</ref> Spector had initially been brought as backup to the West Ham defense, but he had an extended run of games due to injury problems and his ability to play anywhere in the back four with equal ease. On November 10, 2007, it was believed that Spector had scored his first professional goal, in the 5–0 away win at [[Derby County F.C.|Derby County]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/derby-hammered-at-home-1.1303392 |title=Derby hammered at home |work=Irish Times |date=November 10, 2007 |accessdate=May 17, 2015 }}</ref> However, this was later credited as an [[own goal]] by Derby's fellow American international [[Eddie Lewis (American soccer)|Eddie Lewis]].<ref name=WHUProfile/><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.westhamstats.info/westham.php?west=2&ham=833&united=Jonathan_Spector |title=Jonathan Spector |website=westhamstats.info |accessdate=May 27, 2010 }}</ref>

==International career==
In 2003, Spector played for the [[United States men's national soccer team|United States national team]]<ref name="auto2"/> at the [[2003 FIFA U-17 World Championship|World Under-17 Championship]] in Finland and earned his first [[Cap (sport)|cap]] for the senior team on November 17, 2004, in a [[2006 FIFA World Cup qualification (CONCACAF)|World Cup qualifier]] against [[Jamaica national football team|Jamaica]].

In 2005, Spector was part of the United States Under-20 team<ref name="auto2"/> at the [[2005 FIFA World Youth Championship]] in the Netherlands and as the 2005–06 Premier League season approached its conclusion, was considered a long shot to be included in the United States [[2006 FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] squad. However, a shoulder injury sustained on April 17 in a game against [[Portsmouth F.C.|Portsmouth]]<ref>{{cite news |last1=Wagman |first1=Robert |last2=Davidson |first2=Gary |date=April 17, 2006 |url=http://soccertimes.com/americans/2006/apr17.htm |title=Spector dislocates shoulder in Charlton victory over Portsmouth |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930160456/http://soccertimes.com/americans/2006/apr17.htm |archivedate=September 30, 2007 |work=SoccerTimes |accessdate=June 29, 2007 }}</ref> ended his chances of playing at the World Cup.

Spector was a member of the United States team that beat [[Mexico national football team|Mexico]] 2–1 in the CONCACAF Gold Cup Final in Chicago in June 2007. However, during the final, he had to be substituted by [[Frankie Simek]] as he collided heads with Mexican midfielder [[Andrés Guardado]]. Immediately after the substitution [[Benny Feilhaber]] struck the winning volley.<ref>{{cite news |last=Dodd |first=Mike |date=June 25, 2007 |url=https://www.usatoday.com/printedition/sports/20070625/c3focus25.art.htm |title=USA rallies to win Gold Cup |work=USA Today |accessdate=August 22, 2012 }}</ref>

Following injuries to [[Steve Cherundolo]] and [[Frankie Hejduk]], Spector was included in the United States roster for the [[2009 FIFA Confederations Cup]] and took the chance to cement his place in the national team, starting at right-back for the entire tournament. He assisted [[Clint Dempsey]] to score a vital goal against Egypt in the last group stage match as the United States scraped through to the semifinals on the basis of goals scored. In the final against [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]], Spector once again assisted Dempsey in scoring the opening goal with a similar long cross from the right flank.

Having returned from a long injury lay-off, Spector was ever present at right-back for the remaining [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification – CONCACAF fourth round|2010 World Cup fourth round qualifiers]] in 2009 although he has also been partnered with captain [[Carlos Bocanegra]] in central defense occasionally due to [[Oguchi Onyewu]]'s long-term injury.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.whufc.com/articles/20091117/spector-revels-in-new-role_2236884_1877235 |title=Spector revels in new role |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140202225114/http://www.whufc.com/articles/20091117/spector-revels-in-new-role_2236884_1877235 |archivedate=February 2, 2014 |publisher=West Ham United FC |date=November 17, 2009 |accessdate=May 17, 2015 }}</ref> He was rested for the United States' last qualifying match against [[Costa Rica national football team|Costa Rica]] on October 14 as qualification had already been secured and was recalled for friendlies in November and March.
