    RIP Jimmy Banks. Just read an article (no time to post the link sorry), that former USMNT defender Jimmy Banks has passed due to Pancreatic Cancer.

    He was an inspiration to young players of the late 80s and Early 90s, before MLS, and during the time when there was no pro outdoor league.

    A legend for the Milwaukee Wave as well. Thanks foe the inspiration Jimmy. REST IN PEACE.

    Sad. While I remember his name, I really don't remember his play. Other than the 1990 WC, I didn't see any of the qualifications.

    Born in the same year. Time is passing by...
