Greg Vanney was the last man to reach the Galaxy bench before Tuesday’s game with the Colorado Rapids. And when he got there, he found Rapids coach Robin Fraser waiting for him.
The two old friends turned foes hardly needed an introduction.
Fraser was drafted fourth overall by the Galaxy in the inaugural MLS player draft, Vanney was taken 17th in the first college draft. They spent the next five years playing side by side on the team’s back line.
When Fraser was named manager of Chivas USA in 2011, he made Vanney his top assistant.
