With the induction of the 2008 class, the total number of members of the Men's Soccer Hall of Fame stands at 13.

Joseph Addo (1991-92)
Joseph Addo burst upon the scene in his freshman year at George Mason in 1991, scoring the game-winning goal in his first collegiate game against Loyola (Md.) in a 1-0 Patriot victory on Sept. 4. An explosive midfielder, Addo went on to earn First-Team All-CAA and Third-Team NSCAA All-America honors during the 1991 season. The next season, Addo was named First-Team All-CAA for the second consecutive year while earning First-Team NSCAA All-America honors. A member of the Ghana National U-21 Team prior to enrolling at George Mason, Addo ascended to the Ghana Senior National Team, helping lead Ghana to a bronze medal at the 1992 Summer Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain. He also participated in the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta, Ga. and served as captain of the Ghana National Team. After his career at Mason, Addo went on to play professionally in Germany for VfB Stuttgart and FSV Frankfurt. He also played professionally in Europe for Sparta Rotterdam, Belenenses, Ethnikos and Kitchee before playing in the MLS for the Tampa Bay Mutiny and the New York/New Jersey MetroStars. During his career at George Mason, Addo started 37 games, totaling 11 goals, six assists and 28 points on 79 shots.

Doug Bradley (1984-86)
After transferring from Virginia Wesleyan, Doug Bradley played his final three years at George Mason, with his first season as a Patriot coming during the 1984 campaign. A starting defender all three years and team captain during his senior year, Bradley helped lead the team to three NCAA Tournament appearances and two first-round victories, including a 1-0 win at Virginia in 1985 and a 2-1 overtime win against Maryland in 1986. After wrapping up his Mason career with seven goals, 11 assists and 25 points, Bradley went on to play professionally for three years in the American Soccer League with the Washington Stars. Following his professional career, Bradley coached for one year at George Mason High School in Falls Church, Va. before returning to the sidelines at his alma mater as an assistant coach under his father Gordon Bradley.

Richard Broad (1976-84)
Richard Broad served as the men's soccer head coach at George Mason for nine seasons from 1976-84, compiling a stellar 88-53-17 record for a .611 winning percentage during his tenure. The Patriots fielded some stellar squads during Broad's nine years at Mason, particularly during the final four years of his career when the team was consistently ranked among the top-20 teams in the nation. He coached the Patriots to an ECAC South (the predecessor of the CAA) title during the 1984 season and NCAA Tournament appearances during the 1982 and 1984 seasons, including an appearance in the quarterfinals during the 1982 tournament.
