Editor’s Note: When we at E Pluribus Loonum found out that fullback Jérôme Thiesson would not be returning to Minnesota United next year, our reaction was one of collective disappointment. United would be losing a true class act, but we also knew that Jerry would miss Minnesota too.
We reached out to Jerry as soon as his departure was official, offering him the opportunity to bid an extended farewell to Loons fans on our site (a video farewell can be found here). Below is his “goodbye letter,” though, I think, Jerry doesn’t plan for it to be a “‘goodbye’ goodbye.
