rock star players. This month, get to know Corey Hertzog, forward and #11
for the Tampa Bay Rowdies. Originally from Reading, Pennsylvania Corey
has been playing soccer since he was four.
When did you know that you wanted to play soccer competitively?
I played when I was in high school and did really well. My parents talked
about it and that’s when I decided I really wanted to become a professional
soccer player.
How do you like living in Tampa Bay in general apart from soccer?
I love Tampa – it’s got everything: the water, the beach, Disney World,
Universal and all that. I was raised in Pennsylvania so it’s cool that I’m able
to invite family and friends and show them around. It’s a great city!
What do you like most about being a forward?
I get to score goals.
We’re huge fans of all the jerseys you guys rock - what’s your favorite style?
The home jersey is my favorite – I like the stripes.
How do you feel about the Seminole Hard Rock Tampa being your jersey
front sponsor?
I love it! It’s a fun sponsor to have.
What’s one of your proudest moments you’ve had in your career?
When I was younger, my favorite player was Thierry Henry and I actually
got to play with him in New York for three years. It was a dream come true.
