Today, MLS is announcing its Comeback Player of the Year award. As we previously reported, Clint Dempsey is a finalist for the honor which recognizes “an MLS player who has overcome injuries and/or adversity in order to achieve success during the 2017 regular season.” Keep your fingers crossed for Deuce, and while you are waiting, enjoy the Sounders’ countdown of his top goals of the year.
And on the subject of comebacks, 2017 was a magical season for the Sounders who notched two of the best comebacks of the year, becoming the first MLS side ever to win a league match after overcoming a three-goal deficit.
