The Richie Award, for D.C. United's most underrated player of the year

It is awards season around B&RU, and we start off with the award for the team's most underrated player.

We kick of the 2014 edition of the Benny Awards as we always do, with the Richie Award. It is named named defensive midfielder Richie Williams, whose contributions were often overshadowed by names such as Marco Etcheverry, Raul Diaz Arce, and Jaime Moreno, but who was an important part of those early teams. Past winners of the award include Taylor Kemp, Jared Jeffrey, Chris Korb, Julius James, Bryan Namoff, and Clyde Simms.
