Sean St Ledger: ‘I won’t ever close that door. It means too much’

Sean St Ledger still hasn’t given up hope of an international recall...

If you were being generous you’d call him a footnote. So let’s be generous. On a day of MLS history, David Villa and Kaka each ushered in a new soccer City — New York and Orlando — in just the kind of fashion they’d been richly rewarded to. And Sean St Ledger? He was a footnote, the merest one.

It was a March Sunday in Florida and 62,000 went wild when Kaka thumped in an injury-time equaliser. St Ledger then entered the fray and the final whistle blew soon after. Yes, a footnote.
