Head over to the LA Galaxy Museum exhibit at the Dignity Health Recharge Station underneath the Amex Stadium Club to see a piece of Galaxy history.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After a match-ending injury for starting goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts and a red card ejection for backup Josh Saunders, LA Galaxy midfielder Mike Magee volunteered to keep goal for the\u00a0remainder\u00a0of the June 2011 match against the San Jose Earthquakes at Buck Shaw Stadium. The unusual circumstances saw the 5’10” Magee step between the pipes at the end of the first half and keep a clean sheet in an eventual 0-0 draw, cementing his status as a folk hero among LA Galaxy fans.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The LA Galaxy went on to win the MLS Supporters’ Shield and their third league championship in 2011, thanks in large part to Magee’s heroics.\u00a0<\/p>\n
