Alan Gordon has survived 13 seasons of professional soccer, and he’s approached most of them the same way he’s played this one.
“I’ve taken this year as my last,” the Galaxy forward said. “That’s always been the plan. One year at a time. So as of right now, this is my last year.”
Gordon has pondered retirement before, but this fall several factors have conspired to push him a little closer to making that a reality.
Gordon turns 35 next month, for example, and his contract -- which includes a $5,000 pay cut, down to $170,000 this year -- ends when the season does.
