In the 61st minute of Vancouver Whitecaps FC’s Sunday afternoon clash with Sporting Kansas City, 22-year-old defender Javain Brown experienced a moment he will remember for the rest of his life - making his professional debut.
“When I got called over to come on, I was like, I’m fulfilling my dream, my dream has always been to play professionally and it came true. But once coach talked to me, I put all that aside and went on the field to try to execute what coach had told me”, recalls Brown.
Once he touched the ball for the first time, Brown knew his dream was well and truly underway.
