It was a comeback season for Greg Sutton in 2008. After suffering a head injury while with the Canadian National Team in 2007, Sutton played his last game for TFC on 05/26/08 and was unable to return. Putting in the time in the off-season was a big part of his resurgence in 2008, as the keeper came back stronger and mentally sharper. A candidate for team MVP last season, Sutton looks to continue his strong play in-between the posts in 2009 with two young keepers in Edwards and Frei waiting in the wings.
