Atlanta United and Charlotte FC have a budding rivalry. But the two soccer clubs also have a lot in common. In this special bonus episode, we honor the life of Anton Walkes, an English fullback who played for both Atlanta United and Charlotte FC in the Eastern Conference during his MLS career. Tragically, Walkes passed away in 2023. A year-and-a-half after his death, we take a moment to remember him. We talk to people from both sides, Atlanta and Charlotte. Together, we share our memories and pay tribute to Walkes as a soccer player, teammate, friend, partner, and father and show how the two teams came together to honor his legacy on matchday. The History of Atlanta Soccer presented by Piedmont is an audio series from Atlanta United.
