1996 - 1997 - 1998 - 1999 - 2000 - 2001
With the contraction of Miami and Tampa, the expansion draft brought the Wizards all time leading scorer, Preki back to Kansas City. The Wizards finished last in the Western Conference but due to the top 8 overall making the playoffs, the Wizards got in just before the MetroStars. This season we also see our first change to the top 4. The Top 4 the first 6 seasons of the Wizards history had been Preki, Digital, Mo, and Mark Chung in some order. Chris Klein finally broke into the top 4 this season.
The number in parenthesis after the goal total is the players change in position from the year before. Pictures on this entry will only be of players who are making their first appearance on the list, for pictures of each player, check previous entries. And we're off again...
1. Preki - 57 (-)
2. Mo Johnston - 31 (-)
3. Vitalis "Digital" Takawira - 28 (-)
4. Chris Klein - 22 (+1)
5. Mark Chung - 20 (-1)
6T. Matt McKeon - 13 (-)
6T. Chris Brown - 13 (+4)
8T. Miklos Molnar - 12 (-2)
8T. Chris Henderson - 12 (-2)
10 Paul Wright - 11 (-1)
11T. Roy Lassiter - 7 (-)
11T. Francisco Gomez - 7 (-)
11T. Frank Klopas - 7 (-)
14. Dario Fabbro - 6 (N/A) - Dario came in midseason with Igor Simutenkov to help add some punch to the Wizards scoring. While Dario had the better return on in their first season, these were all the goals he'd score in a Wizards uniform.
15. Gary Glasgow - 5 (-1)
16T. Kerry Zavagnin - 4 (+4)
16T. Igor Simutenkov - 4 (N/A) - Came in with Fabbro, Igor was able to last longer in Wizards blue then Fabbro was. In fact, Igor probably scored the second or third biggest goal in Wizards history after Molnar's MLS Cup winner and mini-series winner, in the US Open Cup Final in 2004 in overtime against Chicago. One of, if not, the last golden goals ever scored in professional soccer, as FIFA has done away with the rule.
16T. Paul Rideout - 4 (-1)
16T. Onandi Lowe - 4 (-1)
16T. Mike Sorber - 4 (-1)
16T. Alexi Lalas - 4 (-1)
16T. Alex Bunbury - 4 (-1)
Slowly things are looking a little more respectable numbers wise, at least by the 2002 season the top 10 scorers were all in double digits.
Dropped off:
Ryan Tinsley
Sean Bowers
Alan Prampin
