Takayuki Suzuki named USL First Division Player of the Week

By: Bob Kellett | April 29th, 2008

His goal against Seattle will certainly be a candidate for goal of the season, his effort on his assist was second to none, and as a reward Portland Timbers forward Takayuki Suzuki has been named USL First Division Player of the Week. The Mighty Man from Japan was huge in a pair of Portland wins. He is one of four players to earn recognition from the United Soccer Leagues this week. Keeper Ray Burse, defender Scot with one T Thompson, and Shaun Higgins also are on the Team of the Week. Suzuki’s goal will undoubtedly be the Goal of the Week when that is announced later this week.

  Nice work Taka, and well deserved. Good to see Burse on the team of the week as well. He was very solid in goal.

  our taka,
  who is in portland

  hallowed be thy boot
  at home, as it is away,

  give us again an epic goal
  and deliver perfect crosses,

  for the timbers is your team
  for at least a year,

  That image reminds me of a classic New Yorker cartoon. An artist is showing a king a painting he’s made of him among the angels in the heavens. The king says, “Give me more angels and make them happier to see me.”
