Despite all the miles and slide tackles his legs have suffered during nearly a two-decade career, Vicente Sanchez still finds the energy to spring out of bed every day and head to training.

This season, Sanchez will come to Dynamo practice, but after only a few minutes chatting with the 37-year old former Uruguay international it is crystal clear that he would be on a pitch somewhere - anywhere – in the world.

"I just love playing," Sanchez said through a translator. "After my family, soccer is the next big thing for me."

When the Dynamo signed Sanchez it caused some followers to wonder what the Dynamo were doing bringing in a forward who likely will not be starting any league matches.
