Nick Downing has signed with the Charleston Battery for purposes of the 2004 A-League season. http://www.charlestonbattery.com/news.asp?y=2004&page=1&id=107 Downing joins fellow ex-Revs Chris Bagley, Ted Chronopoulos, Steve Klein and Mark Watson on the team.
That's fantastic. Good luck to him. Charleston is definitely my favorite A-League team, and only partly because I heard they have a fantastic pub in the stadium.
Dont forget good old Dusty Hudock who was on the Revs pre-season roster before the start of the 1998 season I believe.
Yes the Three Lions Pub is top-notch. Plus they allow fans to bring flags with flagpoles into the stadium. Blackbaud Stadium and their staff are fantastic.
have you forgot Mysterio? AKA Johnny Wilson. Granted he only played a match or so with the Revs and was on loan, but I thought he was a legend in the Boston area? Mikey
Good Good for Nick. If he has any chance to improve his stature in the future he has to be in a situation where he will see the field. He is still only 24 or so and maybe he can catch someone's eye that can get him back to MLS.
I don't think anyone forgot him. I believe people were baseing their list on the player's under contract for 2004: Chris Bagley, Ted Chronopoulos, Paul Conway, Linval Dixon, Chris Doyle, Justin Evans, Chris Goos, Michael Green, Josh Henderson, Dusty Hudock, Kevin Jackson, Steve Klein and Mark Watson
Yeah it looks like Johnny is moving on. I have heard he is on trial with a D2 team in Germany (not sure which one) and has had offers from Rochester. I would love to see him back in a Battery uniform though. He's a local so the fans love him. Mikey
