MLS' Chicago Fire made history by winning a double (MLS Cup and US Open Cup) Championship in their expansion year under coach Bob Bradley and General Manager Peter Wilt.
Now in their eleventh season, the Fire have yet to equal their success of year one, either in success on the pitch or in attendance.
That may be because the best players wear Fire Red were overwhelmingly those who belonged to the original team, the managers who hired them and made a team of them, and just a few late comers on the list.
Some may be surprised to see that the three biggest names from an international perspective to wear the colors are not on this list: Jorge Campos, Hristo Stoichkov, and Blanco. These three are great players and will no doubt be in the pantheon of the international game, however they did not make iconic contributions to Chicago. Their individual greatness did not raise the team to their level, as did those who are featured here. Source: Click Here
