Having appeared in the Sydney Olympics for the USA team that narrowly missed out on a bronze medal, Ben crossed the Atlantic to join Nottingham Forest for an extended loan period in October 2001.
He immediately took to English football, proving to be a very pacy and effervescent wide-right midfield player. He featured regularly before suffering a broken ankle in March when he returned to the United States.
