Marking the first of the 2002 Major League Soccer year-end awards. Major League Soccer
announced today that the Chicago Fire Goalkeeper Jon Busch was voted the 2008 Panasonic Goalkeeper of the Year. I personal got the chance to see him in action on television on many
occasions. With a second best 1.10 goal against average he deserves the title playing all 2700 minutes (30 matches). He also led the club to a second place finish in the Eastern Conference
(13-10-7) and ranked first in the League in shutouts with 10. The ex Columbus player is at his peak at the age of 32 showing size doesnt matter in the goalie position. Plagued with injuries
with the Columbus Crew, Busch was traded to Chicago before the 2007 season. He faced more shots than all but two MLS goalkeepers and recording the top save percent mark at 78.2 percent.
San Jose's Joe Cannon ranked second with 74.7 percent.
