David Foote, former professional soccer player in 1988 for the St. Louis Steamer. He began playing soccer at the age of 6 and was picked to play for the Oklahoma State Soccer Team at age 14. He played for the State Team until the age of 18 when he graduated from Union High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1987 and was offered 5 full schalorships but decided to turn them down to accept being drafted to the Major Indoor Soccer League(M.I.S.L.) playing for the St. Louis Steamers but had to retire only after 3-months due to a third and serious knee injury that resulted in another surgery.

During the time he was playing for the Oklahoma State Team he was also choosen to the Olympic Development Team as well as being nominated as one of the top 10 goalkeepers in America. After returning to Tulsa from St. Louis he was hired as assistant coach for Union High School girls varsity team for 2-years and Holland Hall High School for 1-year. He conducted his own goalkeepers camp for 5-years which trained many goalies to college scharlorships, state select teams, Olympic Development teams and the starting position on many premire teams.

Years later David ended his soccer careers and returned to college to receive a Emergency Medical degree from Roger's State College and went on to serve 10+ years as a firefighter/paramedic for the Broken Arrow Fire Department but again was forced to retire due to a major back injury he sustained while performing his duties as a rescue worker.

He now lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma with his wife and daughter.
