Sporting Legends: Who should be inducted next?

Sporting Legends was launched in 2013 to pay tribute to individuals who played a vital role to Sporting Kansas City and the growth of soccer throughout the midwest and providing a platform for inductees to reconnect with the Kansas City soccer community.

It currently has nine inductees with Mo Johnston being this year’s most recent inductee. Following Johnson’s induction, it got us thinking: who on the current roster could be a future Sporting Legend? Here is our top five picks:

1. Matt Besler:

Hometown Hero.

Drafted by the Kansas City Wizards in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft, this club’s captain and Kansas City native has become a regular staple of Sporting KC’s backline, earning over 250 appearances in all competitions.
