championship
L egendary soccer p lay er and
coach C live C harles died T uesday
afternoon at age 52. C harles was
renow ned for leading the U niver
sity o f Portland to the 2002 national
w om en’s cham pionships.
The official cause o f death has
not been released, but C harles had
a long fight w ith prostate cancer.
An event w as planned by the
Portland T im bers to honor Charles ’
lifetim e achievem ents at the team ’s
season finale on A ug. 29 at PGE|
Park.
C h arles’ num ber No. 3 jersey as
a form er star w ith the Tim bers will
be retired and a perm anent banner
will hang from the rafters o f PGE
Park, also planned before C h arles’
death.
“M y tim e w ith the Tim bers orga
nization w as a very special period
in m y life. It truly w as the start o fall
goods things to com e for m e and
my fami ly in Portland,” said Charles,
w ho had planned to attend the half
