Rapids Alum Bartlett Making Waves in South Africa


Good article today by MLS on Rapids Alumni Player Shaun Bartlett.

Bartlett, the South African native who starred up front for Colorado in the club's first 2 seasons of 1996 and 1997, finds himself 15 years later heavily involved with the sport in his home country, as they sit on the verge of hosting the world's largest event this summer.

Bartlett recorded 9 goals and 9 assists in 36 games played for the Rapids in '96 and '97.
