@vsrsus: Tobin Heath. This is the ending your career deserved. A hero of the game just got the send-off of a lifetime. Re-signed for Portland Thorns on a one-day contract two years after officially hanging up her boots. For one night only, Tobinho returned to Oregon. Presented in front of the crowd where she made history. Heath represented the Thorns from 2013 through to 2020 and became the Rose that grew from the concrete. Saying she blossomed would be an understatement. Helped establish the side as one of the top teams in the NWSL. Won two league titles alongside an NWSL Shield in 2016. She didn’t just become one of the franchise’s and league’s best players. The two-time World Cup winner became a baller who would define a generation. The game has never moved so quickly, on and off the pitch. But it was only right time stood still this weekend for one of its greats. Heath never left Portland. She just experienced the world so she could appreciate how special home was. Hailed as the ‘Nutmeg Queen’. But her final trick was making us all shed a tear of gratitude. TH17, thank you for your service. Football’s better because of it. #tobinheath #nwsl #uswnt #football #Soccer
