If there was any doubt that Sébastien Le Toux had fully mended his once-frayed relationship with the Union, it was washed away by the tears he struggled to hold back Tuesday afternoon.
The Union honored Le Toux’s retirement from playing soccer with a ceremony at Talen Energy Stadium. He signed a ceremonial one-day contract so he could end his career with the team he still loves most out of the six he’s played for in MLS.
“My heart is here — it’s how I’ve felt since the first game when I scored a hat trick at Lincoln Financial Field,” Le Toux said, referring to in the Union’s inaugural home opener in 2010.
