Sounders prepare to say goodbye to Zach Scott — and for a consequential finale

The club's longest serving player will retire at the end of this season. Scott can do his first professional coach a solid on his way out the door.

Few things would have been less representative of Zach Scott’s indefatigable Sounders career than being used as a pity sub in the final minutes of a meaningless game.

Scott will be honored prior to his final regular-season match on Sunday afternoon at CenturyLink Field, having announced his intention to retire at the end of this campaign after 15 years as a pro. The 36-year-old has made it clear that he’s uncomfortable with even that level of ceremony.
