Back in 2014 when Matt Besler was negotiating and signing his extension with Sporting Kansas City, he’d talked about wanting to stay with the club long term, and setting club records for longevity that wouldn’t be surpassed for years to come. Six years later as Besler’s Sporting career comes to an end, he ends at the top of most longevity lists for the club. He’s played more minutes in league play (25,501) and in all competitions (30,397), appeared in more games in league play (294 tied with Graham Zusi) and all competitions (348), and started more games in league play (285) and all competitions (337) than any player in club history.
