Aly Wagner Retires from Soccer – US Soccer
There have been many women’s soccer greats that have come out of the Bay Area – Brandi Chastain, Tiffany Roberts, Kim Patrick, and Danielle Slaton, to name a few. But Aly Wagner has been the one player that I have consistently watched since I was eleven-years-old.
My dad bought me my first hero jersey after a Bronco soccer clinic one year. It was a Santa Clara jersey with the number seven on it – Aly Wagner’s jersey. I loved it so much, I wore it for a week straight. I cherished this jersey because when I put it on, I felt like I could play like her. Perfectly strung passes, graceful, and technically sound on the ball.
My first jersey ever.
Thank you, Aly Wagner for your contribution to the game and for representing the Bay Area.
