TFC coach Robin Fraser draws inspiration from English clubs

Robin Fraser has been involved in soccer his entire life.  

From his early childhood spent in Jamaica, moving to the United States as a teenager, his playing days at Florida International University, his 17-year professional career, right through to his tenures as an assistant and head coach in MLS.  

Fraser was a player of some skill during his time in MLS – a two-time defender of the year, a five-time all-star and five-time Best XI selection. In 2020, the former defender was named among the 25 greatest players in MLS history by the league. He was a key member of the LA Galaxy during the early years of MLS and went on to make 281 regular season and playoff appearances, while also earning 27 caps for the U.S. national team.  

Fraser has pretty much seen and done it all in MLS while working in professional soccer that it’s sometimes easy to forget that underneath it all he’s still a fan like you and me. When not watching game films of upcoming opponents, Fraser is often checking out other matches from around the world during his downtime.
