Despite being the USA’s all time leading goalscorer, Landon Donovan didn’t always want to be a soccer player.
During a full length interview to be published later this week, he revealed that as a youngster, he dreamt of being an owner not a player. Therefore when he played soccer simulations on his computer, he would focus on the managerial part of the game.
“I liked being able to impact all the different part of a team, an organisation and a club,” he noted.
If San Diego manages to snag one of the two franchises in December, he’ll have is boyhood dream realised at last.
