There have been some brilliant individual seasons in Crew SC history, including Brian McBride’s debut season in 1996, Brad Friedel’s Goalkeeper of the Year performance in 1997, Stern John’s 26-goal rampage in 1998, Dante Washington’s 15-goal / 9-assist beast in 2000, Brian Maisonneuve’s terrific comeback in 2001, Robin Fraser (2004) and Chad Marshall (2008, 2009) in their Defender of the Year seasons, all the way through to the currently incredible seasons being put together by Kei Kamara and Ethan Finlay.
But towering above them all is the 2008 campaign of Guillermo Barros Schelotto. It was the greatest season by the greatest player to ever wear the shirt. Someday, Guillermo Barros Schelotto will rightfully join Crew SC legends Brian McBride and Frankie Hejduk in the Circle of Honor. If you want to learn what made Guille so great, or if you simply want to reminisce about his greatness, please read the Circle of Honor profile I wrote in 2014.
