Landon Donovan is the best-ever player in MLS history, and it’s no surprise that the team with which he spent the bulk of his career, the LA Galaxy, will be honoring him later this year.
The Galaxy announced Tuesday they will unveil a statue of Donovan at Legends Plaza at Dignity Health Sports Park on Oct. 3, before El Trafico. Donovan will also be inducted into the Galaxy’s Ring of Honor on that day.
“Growing up, I never would have imagined being honored with a statue. It’s a very special feeling of which I’m incredibly proud,” said Donovan in a statement released by the club.
