Capable of playing either up front or in midfield, Brian Mullan played on consecutive MLS Cup-winning teams, first with Los Angeles in 2002 and then with San Jose in 2003.  He then repeated this feat by winning the MLS Cup two years running with the Houston Dynamo in 2006 and 2007.

And considering that he played in every playoff game over those four seasons, the size of his jewelry collection is likely more than coincidental. The same can be said of his chemistry with fellow Earthquakes midfielder Richard Mulrooney, as the two played together for Creighton University in 1997 and 1998.

Although a dogged defensive player when required, Mullan is best to watch when he’s taking players on down the right flank. His crosses for Houston and San Jose have been one of the main reasons behind the teams’ effectiveness in attack. Mullan took his ability to win trophies with him to Colorado, winning another MLS Cup in 2010. He retired following the 2014 season.

College:  At Creighton University Mullan played 88 games, scored 36 goals, and registered 32 assists in four years. Attended Regis Jesuit high school in New York.
