Former Timber Sal Zizzo retires.

A real MLS journey man playing for so many different clubs (although cringe-y to see him say THE MLS in his post there. Almost amazing that he only had 2 goals in 175 appearances! I know he was pushed back to fullback later in his career, but I would have guessed he would have had more than 2.

I'm also a bit surprised he couldn't get signed by anyone else in the league. He was a decent guy to have as a utility backup and was still getting meaningful minutes on Atlanta last year (and they weren't too shabby). Would have guessed SOME team could have used him.

A nice guy and I was glad he was on the Timbers when he was. Seems like he was liked by teammates and fans where ever he went. I would guess at this point he is thought of most fondly for his food cart here in Portland!
