Niche Cache. The high praise for Surman keeps coming.
Ian Smith is a young American full back at the Timbers who recently took Finn on a road trip to Smith's home town in Idaho. Seems to be Surman's new best mate at Portland. Finn was all smiles congratulating Smith scoring his first MLS goal in this game.
And obviously Finn Surman was up to the good stuff too. This was a fantastic week for the kiwi centre-back trio in MLS. Portland won 2-1 against New England with Surman’s holiday bro Ian Smith (who was also teammates with Ronan Wynne at college) scoring the first and then David Da Costa clinched it with twenty to go, putting the Timbers back into the win column after a disappointing performance last week in Toronto.
Timbers CB Dario Zuparic said Finn Surman has potential to be a “Premier League player.”
