The 35-year-old became a hero in the USA following his outstanding performance at the FIFA World Cup in Brazil.&nbsp;The Everton goalie broke the tournament record for the number of saves made in a single game in their 1-2 extra-time loss to Belgium. Obama called Howard after the match to show his appreciation for the custodian&rsquo;s efforts.
&ldquo;The call from the president is all set up. You just try not to say anything stupid, because forever you&rsquo;ll be remembered as the guy who said something stupid to the president,&rdquo; Howard was quoted as saying by the Mirror Online.
&ldquo;But, put it this way, going into Sir Alex&rsquo;s dressing room is more daunting because you know that the president of the United States isn&rsquo;t going to yell at you. When Alex Ferguson yells at you, that&rsquo;s absolutely the worst thing in the world!&rdquo; Howard added.
Howard, though, failed to make an impression at Manchester United under Ferguson and was sold to Everton for three million pounds in 2007.
