1957

Daniel Birkey (born December 10, 1957) is an American soccer coach who has worked in the game at the club, collegiate and professional levels.

1970

Having played under Clive Charles, he was invited to coach with him at the club level and worked numerous years as a staff coach at the Portland Timbers youth camps along with Timbers players from the late 1970s and early 1980s.

It was Birkey's professional relationship with Charles that set the model for much of his coaching philosophy.

1974

He was a state championship basketball player there and multi-sport athlete, but discovered and fell in love with soccer in 1974 when he saw an acquaintance juggling a soccer ball with his feet.

He played club and high school soccer in Tacoma under German coach Yontz Miller.

1976

Birkey traveled through Central America in 1976 playing soccer and learning the game.

While there, he taught physical education and coached soccer at Christiansen Academy in Rubio, Venezuela, and played as a striker for Zulia FC before moving to the prestigious Deportivo Táchira soccer club in San Cristóbal.

As an American international, Birkey became popular on and off the pitch in Venezuela, earning him the nickname "El Torito Blanco" among local soccer fans for his relentless work ethic, tenacious style of play, and off-field engagement in common public life.

After returning to Oregon from South America, Birkey became limited as a player due to several knee surgeries, and focused on his coaching career leading Columbia High School in Troutdale.
