# Willie McLean

> William Stewart Lang was a soccer player who played as a winger. A dominant player through the 1930s and a member of the U.S. national team at the 1934 FIFA World Cup, McLean disappeared without a trace in 1938. His disappearance remained a mystery until June 2022, when an investigation by The Athletic's Pablo Maurer and Matt Pentz uncovered the details behind that disappearance; McLean had suffered a nervous breakdown after multiple head injuries and lived out the last 40 years of his life in a series of public mental health facilities.
