Gavin Glinton on taking charge of the Oakland Roots, facing archrival Sac Republic, and his varied playing career - Soccer America Gavin Glinton’s 133 goals and 53 assists earned him All-America honors all four seasons (1998-2002) at Bradley University — and an induction into the Missouri Valley Conference Hall of Fame. His pro career included six MLS seasons, with the LA Galaxy, FC Dallas and the San Jose Earthquakes. Gavin Glinton in Soccer America (L-to-R): On the 1998 College All-Freshman team with Dan Califf, Luchi Gonzalez, et al.; September 2002 after scoring once and assisting on four goals in his first 790 minutes of his MLS rookie season, and Sigi Schmid commenting on Glinton’s MLS debut.
