Agoos was a member of five MLS championship teams: 1996, 1997 and 1999 with D.C. United and 2001 and 2003 with the San Jose Earthquakes.

Whether Moreno, who turns 32 on Jan. 19, lasts long enough and United can reach MLS Cup at least one more time for him to equalize Agoos' amazing accomplishment, it remains to be seen.

Gattuso had been signed by legendary Rangers manager Walter Smith, now coach of the Scotland national side, as a 19 year old and was beginning to carve out a reputation for himself as a tough tackling midfielder when new manager Dick Advocaat included him in a clearout of the playing staff when he was appointed.
