Black History Month: Tim Howard scores in windy fashion

It was a crisp night in Liverpool on January 4, 2012 as Everton faced off against Bolton Wanderers. While the temperature was around 8 degrees Celsius at kickoff (about 46 degrees Farenheit), the breeze was out of this world, with sustained winds at close to 30mph with stronger gusts. Still, there was a match to be played, and Everton had their usual field general protecting the goal. Tim Howard, the legendary United States international, was the longtime starter for The Toffees, was their #1 and was in the midst of a pretty decent season despite Everton hovering around the middle of the Premier League table.
