Hopefully, you are enjoying the off-season as much as we are! To help you get the slow news of the off-season The Crew decided to start a Docu-podcast series that will cover the History of the Richmond Kickers with Famous Players, Coaches, and Moments of the club history. In Episode 1, we sit down with Rachel and Helen Viollet, the wife and daughter of famous Richmond Kicker Head Coach Dennis Viollet. Dennis Viollet was a member of Sir Matt Busby Babes and went on to score 179 goals for Manchester United which lands him fourth in United History for most goals all-time. Mr. Viollet spent most of his coaching career in Jacksonville, Florida as being the Head Coach of the Jacksonville Tea Men and then The University of Jacksonville. However, for two seasons in 1995, Mr. Viollet led the Richmond Kickers to the double, winning the US Open Cup trophy and The  USISL Premier League. He would return to Jacksonville to coach the Jacksonville Cyclones before his unfortunate death from cancer on March 6th, 1999. In 2010, Coach Dennis Viollet was introduced into the  Soccer Hall of Fame in Washington D.C.
