That doesn't bother him however, because as Carolina's 412th man' he usually sees a considerable amount of playing time. Fuchs' main role to date has abeen to supply instant offense for the Gamecocks, and he's done that job fairly well, with two goals and one assist in the team's first three games. "Eddie is a goal scorer," USC soccer coach Mark Berson said. "That's the thing he does best. He's an insnirational Dlaver. "Eddie is not the kind of player that's going to go for the full ninety minutes. So we use him for a spark. It might be at the beginning of the game, it might be at the low point of the game.

"I just can't see not playing anymore after this year," Fuchs said. I really want to graduate and there are always amateur teams to play for. I was drafted by Charlotte of the ASL, which isn't as good as the NASL, but it's something to keep playing and get paid for doing it.
