The person of the match Saturday in the Chattanooga Football Club’s 2-1 win over Memphis City FC never logged a second of playing time, therefore not being credited with any shots or saves.
He works for the Tennessee Valley Authority, carries a bullhorn and leads the Chattahooligans.
“Galen Riley has been going for four hours straight,” CFC coach Bill Elliott said. “I don’t have a single player that can go for four hours straight the way he does. It’s unbelievable what he does, in a game like this when we’ve had all these games stacked on top of each other. They’re tired, but he keeps the Chattahooligans going.
“No doubt. Man of the match, Galen.”
Riley’s match day started at 4:30 p.m. with the CFC women’s match against the Gulf Coast Texans and continued through the men’s match. Both ended with 2-1 scores in oppositive directions, with the latter benefiting the home team and improving CFC’s record to 5-2 for the season and 3-0 in the Southeast Conference of the National Premier Soccer League for a total of nine points in league play.
