FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – “All good things must come to an end.”
That’s a sentiment that echoed through the halls at Gillette Stadium for the New England Revolution on Thursday afternoon, as 11-year veteran Chris Tierney officially announced his retirement.
The Wellesley, Mass., native has a long list of accomplishments with the club – he’s the longest-tenured field player in Revolution history, scoring 16 goals and adding 44 assists in 271 appearances in all competitions – and his soccer legacy will live on forever in Foxborough. But perhaps the most cherished aspect of Tierney’s time with New England, even greater than these achievements, was the relationships he formed along his journey.
