What They're Saying: Brad Knighton

“His first game was actually my Bobblehead Night. It was a game in May, and I wore the Jedi Knighton costume into the stadium. I hadn’t met Bruce yet. I heard he was announced as a manager and sporting director. I’m walking into the stadium for gameday. We’re playing D.C. United, we’re playing Wayne Rooney. I’m walking into the stadium, I’m saying ‘hey’ to everyone with the music playing, the light saber, the whole nine yards. I’m walking into the locker room, I turn the corner and who’s the first person that I see? It’s Bruce. He looked at me like, ‘What in the world are you wearing? Why do you have that on?’ I just went over, shook his hand and said ‘Hey Bruce, I’m Brad, but you can call me Jedi Knighton.’”
