Rigg’s Replays: Golden Booted Landon Donovan

Landon Donovan made his official debut for Bayern Munich this week, coming on in the 66th minute in the German Cup versus Stuttgart. However, the American international is only on loan, and any future deal is dependent on the German giants striking a deal with the Los Angeles Galaxy. As such, it’s worth a look back on the season Donovan had with the Galaxy in 2008.
With a fully fit David Beckham supplying the service, it was a career year for Donovan. He notched 20 goals in Major League Soccer play. No player had ever scored 20 goals or more after his first season with the league.
The haul was enough to earn him the MLS golden boot award, and, later, the loan deal to Munich.
Donovan is expected to make his Bundesliga debut this weekend. Until then, enjoy watching highlights from his season last year:
