Today the team made their honorees for this past season. Danny Royer won the well deserved MVP, in the absence of BWP, he stood above the fray getting it done, this was sponsored by Alcatel.

The writing on the wall may have been there for a bit, word of his being unhappy that it took him so long to get Heber. I was not there for the whole of the post TFC game presser, when he was said to have referred to the team as "they/them', if stated while I was present, I missed it.

A break out year for the diminutive player had him reach new heights by way of his 20 assists, #2 in MLS history and tops in this post shootout era. Just closing out his 3rd year and with a new contract, he must be looking up to a big year in 2020. He had a grand total of 30 games this season with 7 goals and just the 3rd player in MLS lore to hit for 20 assists. He now is in rare air as David Villa who twice was named in 2016 & '17 is the only only other NYCFC player to be so honored.
