Ian Anthony Feuer (born May 20, 1971) is an American former professional soccer player who played as a goalkeeper for the US National Olympic Team as well as Luton Town and West Ham United in the English Premier League.
Born in Las Vegas, he played youth soccer in his home state and California before moving to Belgium at the age of sixteen, joining the youth team at Club Brugge. At age 17, he signed his first professional contract with Powerhouse FC Brugge.
He returned to the U.S. in 1993 to join American Professional Soccer League side Los Angeles Salsa where he was named rookie goalkeeper of the season. In 1994, he joined English Premier League side West Ham United. He then played for Luton Town FC and was traded permanently for a fee of £580,000 to complete the deal, and he played in 90 consecutive league matches for the club before his run was ended by a shoulder injury.
Ian later joined Major League Soccer side New England Revolution to replace the retiring Walter Zenga and later, MLS side Colorado Rapids. He later worked as a goalkeeping coach in the U.S., including a nine-year spell at LA Galaxy, winning two MLS Cup Championships in 2012 and 2013.
