The Union on Saturday night will host one of the biggest stars ever to take the field at Talen Energy Stadium, when Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the Los Angeles Galaxy visit Chester.
Not since David Beckham came to town in the Union’s inaugural season has one player singlehandedly filled the stands in the way Ibrahimovic will Saturday. Some big names have played here since then: Thierry Henry, Andrea Pirlo, Steven Gerrard and Didier Drogba, to name a few (and as a reminder, they’ve all been on the other team). But Ibrahimovic has even more cachet on and off the field.
