Bobby Rhine (born April 18, 1976 in St. Louis, Missouri) is an American soccer player who last played for FC Dallas of Major League Soccer.
Rhine played college soccer at the University of Connecticut, where he was a second-team All-American in 1998. He was drafted by the then-Dallas Burn sixth overall in the 1999 MLS College Draft. During his Dallas career, Rhine filled a variety of positions as an on-and-off starter, usually playing up front or in the midfield. His versatility even led to a switch to defense for the 2005 season. His best season came in 2002, when he scored seven goals and six assists and added another goal in the playoffs. In eight MLS seasons, Rhine's regular-season totals stand at 23 goals and 33 assists. In 1999, he went on loan to the Milwaukee Rampage of the USL A-League.[1] In 2000, he played one game on loan with the Tennessee Rhythm.[2] Rhine played his final career game against Los Angeles Galaxy on October 26, 2008, a game in which normal team captain Duilio Davino insisted Rhine take the captain's armband.
Rhine retired at the end of the 2008 season. Upon retiring, he accepted the position of Manager of Community Development with the FC Dallas front office. In addition, Rhine also works as the color commentator for the team's television broadcasts.
Rhine became the first former or current Major League Soccer player to be a guest panelist on the Winning Ugly Radio Show. He appeared on Episode 26.
