From the dark days of Sky Blue to the two-time National Women\u2019s Soccer League-winning Gotham FC, Mandy Freeman has seen it all and stuck around. The 10th overall pick in the 2017 NWSL draft, Freeman is now in her 10th season with the same club, a feat that has only happened a handful of times before. She joins the likes of icons including Megan Rapinoe (Seattle Reign) and Christine Sinclair (Portland Thorns) on this exclusive list of legends.<\/p>\n \u201cI keep being told that it\u2019s a great accomplishment, but it doesn\u2019t feel like ten years,\u201d Freeman exclusively tells The Equalizer. \u201cIt\u2019s a little crazy to look back on all of the years, realize how long it\u2019s been, and go over all the memories and emotions \u2014 the ups and downs of the league, what the club was before, but I\u2019m truly grateful to be able to play this long. Not everybody has this long of a career, let alone with one club.\u201d<\/p>\n During these ten years, Freeman has racked up the stats. She holds the record for most appearances (143) and starts (112) in club history across all competitions, is just 70 minutes away from breaking the all-time minutes played record, and is one of only four players to appear in playoff games in three separate years for the club.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8 Video Alert \ud83d\udea8<\/p>\n 2017 first round picks Kayla Mills and Mandy Freeman discuss being drafted. #WeAreNJ<\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udcfa: https:\/\/t.co\/5dpoIMqfBl<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/wpGZUphcZk<\/a><\/p>\n — Gotham FC (@GothamFC) January 13, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
