It’s a sad day in Atlanta and Toronto today. All the talk surrounding the upcoming Eastern conference battle between Atlanta United and Toronto FC, a possible playoff preview, was the return of Clint Irwin to the club he served so faithfully and loyally for so long.
The Toronto FC goalkeeper will miss out this weekend’s match after suffering a hamstring injury during the club’s 0-0 draw against Sporting Kansas City. Five Stripes supporters have been in mourning since hearing the devastating news.
"His passion for the crest made me experience feelings I haven't felt in the longest time and inspired me to get back in touch with my estranged father,” said Larry Charles, a life-long Atlanta United fan from Alpharetta.
