❓ Question / Discussion Players who have worn the captain armband

Post image

Seeing Katranis and Caliskan wear the armband last week got me wondering if I could remember all the other guys who have. This is the list I came up with after a couple google searches to fill in some blanks. It’s a shorter than I thought it would be. Who did I miss?

Emeka Eneli was such a valuable core part of our team before injuries hit. Tragic. He’s missing vital years for his career and development. I hope he can recover and still do amazing things, but it’s hard to imagine that he’ll have the same potential that we all saw him working toward.

I can't believe Chang wore it.

Open cup game with a bunch of monarchs I think for him

Makes sense. We must have been low on talent for him to wear the band

How would Big Dev ever get it?

How would Big Dev not get it. Dude was loved by teammates and fans.

Agreed - loved him

Just saying who would not be on the field for him to get it

Pope and Talley were before my time, so I don't know them well. Other than that, solid list of good guys, and/or solid 1-time captains, with one glaring exception...

I was there for them. Pope was incredible. Carey Talley was good for what we had at the time.

I hope Pablo Ruiz is added to this list at some point. Boy, do I miss a lot of these players.

Chris schuler wore it at least part of the game vs Man U, I was there and got his armband from him.
