Steven Lenhart Quotes ‘Goonies’, Melts Cold Hearts

There might not be a more unpopular player in MLS than Steven Lenhart. The San Jose Earthquakes forward is Public Enemy No. 1 among many fans of other teams mainly because of his knack for getting under the skin of opposing players. That may be changing after he simply quoted the popular '80s movie "Goonies."

"Goonies never say die," Lenhart told reporters following Wednesday's comeback win over the LA Galaxy.

OK, maybe one quote doesn’t forgive him for flopping, diving and basically doing everything in his power to become the MLS version of Marty McSorley.

But, it’s hard not to smile. “Goonies” is a favorite movie for a lot of people of a “certain age.” Lenhart may be a bit of a tool on the field, but that doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate him off of it.
