When Columbus Crew goalkeeper Zack Steffen returns to the area next week to play his hometown team, he’ll have plenty of support in the stands from friends and family. None will be wearing Union colors.
“No chance my mom would let them wear any Philadelphia shirts,” Steffen said.
The 22-year-old goalkeeper wore a Union jersey in his youth days, but it hasn’t taken long for the Downingtown, Pa. native or those closest to him to trade allegiance from the blue and gold to the yellow and black.
Steffen has also settled in with his new surroundings.
