The number 9 has a certain significance for fans of soccer in general, but perhaps even more so for fans of our beloved Real Salt Lake. Jason Kreis, our once (and perhaps future) king donned the kit which was retired, and then after realizing that was a silly thing, unretired. The past half decade of RSL soccer has been partially defined by the club’s inability to sign a top class number 9. Once they finally did sign one, it was decided it would be better to play a midfielder in that spot instead.
What does this all mean?
