At 5-foot-9 and 185 pounds, Nick Rimando did not appear to be someone who would frustrate opposing attackers on a regular basis. Yet his size never prevented him from scaling the heights of Major League Soccer and the U.S. Men's National Team. Over two decades, he combined quickness, guile, grittiness, desire and experience to become the top netminder in MLS history.
By the time he retired in 2019 at age 40, Rimando had earned the title as the greatest goalkeeper in MLS history, holding league records for minutes (46,336), games played (514), career wins (223), clean sheets (154), saves (1,712) and penalty kick saves (59). He finished with a 1.09 goals-against average.
He was named to the MLS All-Star team six times (2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2019), and we won MLS Cups with D.C. United and Real Salt Lake, as well as Supporters Shields with United and Miami Fusion.
He also made 22 appearances for the USMNT, registering a 0.78 GAA and an 11W-2L-3D mark while backstopping the squad to the 2013 Concacaf Gold Cup crown.
