Simon and I were looking forward to this interview. Born in Sunnyvale, California, Jeremy Zielinski's goalkeeping career is still in its infancy but has taken him to Honolulu, SanFrancisco and Vancouver.
He made his own way to Khamphaengphet FC in order to play regular football and for a first experience of Asia.
Khamphaengphet play in Thai League 3 North, the same league as Chiang Mai FC and MaeJo United. It is far from glamourous but it is regular football and a showcase for potentially new opportunities in the future.
It is a really interesting discussion on motivation, commitment, setting objectives, self-awareness and experiencing new cultures.
Khamphaengphet play Chatrakkan City tomorrow (12 October) and come to CMFC on 3 November 2024 - a 5pm kick off in Doi Saket.
The picture is from Jeremy's facebook page - where you can also see his double save of a Phitsanulok Unity penalty in Khamphaengphet's 1-0 away win. Reminiscent of Manuel Almunia's last minute penalty save for Watford against Leicester in the 2013 Championship playoff without the same crazy scenes!.
