That's a start. I know they hadn't updated that list since the beginning of last year, so I added some names. I probably forgot a few.
Is this list just of guys who made a season opening roster? If so, I thought Craig Zaidie was drafted but never suited up for us? (I could easily be wrong) If this is supposed to include draftees, or guys on the pre-season roster.. these guys should be on it right? John Swann '03 (did he even suit up in pre-season?) Hayden Woodworth '03 Michael Behonick '03 Kevin Hudson '04 (did he even suit up in pre-season?)
I believe all of those listed played in at least one match for us. The list did not include all the draftees that didn't make the final roster (like Caleb Norkus).
I found a few more that appear to have been missing; Galin Ivanov Eric Denton Jose Alegria Earnie Stewart Devin Barclay Trevor Perea Doug Warren Ezra Hendrickson Not sure if these two count (never actually signed with DCU, but played an MLS game for us); Clint Baumstark G.R. Cannon Cherno
The latest on Brian Bates. Scroll down a bit - why did I think he was coaching in MLS somewhere? This is pretty far afield for a former MLS player.
John Trask left FC Dallas to take the Head Coaching job at University of Illinois at Chicago. http://www.collegesports.com/sports/m-soccer/stories/011705aag.html
I'm starting to get scared by the number of former United players involved in real estate in California.
Geoff Aunger didn't play for KC (or at least that's what it says on his bio at the Soccer Hall of Fame). I believe Vlad has spotted him downtown a few years back and he was working for Merrill Lynch (or something similiar). I tried google and I saw a Geoffrey Aunger listed at USB Financial (with a 703 cel phone number) so maybe that's him. BTW, this is an awesome off-season project (much more constuctive than bitching about baseball!) K
ya'll sound like stalkers. leave these poor people alone already ;-) btw i haven't seen Aunger in my building in a while, quite possbly because he changed jobs...
If y'all are of a mind, just go ahead an format a player entry like I've been doing: Players Name (last, first) if they're an international put it here. years with united Pre United: Post United: Current wherabouts (today's date): and I'll paste it into the list. It'll save me some time.
