Yes - @ChadMarshall14 is a heck of a soccer player. But for 16 years he did it his way. With sarcasm, toughness, humor, and professionalism - all the while singing and dancing to Whitney Houston. I hope this never changes. What's your favorite Chad moment? #ThankYouChad

It’s been said 1,000,000 times already but I’ll say it one more time. One of the best to ever do it and somehow an even better guy. Love you @ChadMarshall14 expect to still have you there for offseason workouts https://t.co/FWKdzQKCQY

I first met @ChadMarshall14 in a Queen Anne Starbucks with his old buddy @TaylorGraham26 when he’d just signed for @SoundersFC. I was struck by his quiet modesty, given his on-field stature. An unassuming all-time MLS great, consistently brilliant and a terrific guy https://t.co/BeLXT8th7y

Chad played for three teams in his career. In college he played for Stanford, before being drafted by the Columbus Crew, and then traded to the Seattle Sounders
