Cliche as it might sound, its true.
From the hardcore fans who populate Soccer Twitter to the longstanding relationships players of past and present glory treasure with the five-time MLS Cup champions, the LA Galaxy are more than a club, its a family.
Despite his shock trade to the Houston Dynamo in 2016, AJ De La Garza remains one of the team’s most popular figures and an extended member of the Galaxy family.
If you haven’t heard of the Luca Knows Heart story, this Player’s Tribute article penned by AJ is a good place to start. The DeLaGarza family’s strength and perseverance in the face of ultimate heartbreak will forever be etched in the hearts and minds of Galaxy faithful.
