Sounders braced for emotional reunion with Montero

Coach or play in Major League Soccer long enough, you’ll eventually see former players or ex-teammates on a different side.

But this reunion for the Seattle Sounders on Friday will be different.

It will be special.

It will be saying hello to Fredy Montero again.

Montero was the first true face of the franchise when it debuted in MLS in 2009, a quick-footed, fast-twitching 21-year-old forward from Colombia.

And he scored goals — lots of them Not only did he score the Sounders’ first goal in MLS, he left in 2012 as the club’s all-time leading goal scorer (47) and assists leader (34).
