A record that will never be broken

Here's some video of Eddie Gaven setting the MLS record for the youngest player to score a goal. Gaven goes in as a keeper, making him the youngest goalkeeper in MLS history. He then switches jerseys and quickly scores.


The league, pressured by complaining soccer folk, (Soccer folk complaining? Say it ain't so.) changed the substitution rule for keepers. This likely means that Gaven's record may stand forever.
At the time, Eddie Gaven was the ballyhooed star on a hapless New York Metro Stars team. The team sold jerseys and posters emblazoned with Gaven's name. At the time he was the youngest player named to the All-Star team. He's since been traded to the Columbus Crew, who won last years MLS Cup and are poised to repeat. Gaven plays a supporting role. This begs the age old question: would you rather be the best player on a bad team, or an ordinary player on the best team?
Adding insult to injury, a lot of us believe Gaven is blocked from any World Cup action by the coach's son who plays his same position. Or maybe we should say adding incentive to injury.
