After the game, a few of us were standing outside of Gate 4, where the players come out. Nick Garcia comes out and is talking with a few fans. Some people ask him for pictures with him. After all that, Nick walks over to TFC Via Buffalo and says "would you mind if I got a pictute with you?" So Nick Garcia has a picture taken, wile holding his 7 week old son, alongside TFC Via Buffalo, hat, grass skirt, 75 Mile Bastards scarf and all!

How many times have you ever seen a player ask for a photo with a fan?

that's pretty neat... any particular reason he chose TFCviaBuffalo?

That's cool. :D

One thing I really like about TFC, is that all of our players are very likable as people. I understand that is pretty meaningless in the grand scheme of things, but it occasionally makes for nice moments like the one you described above.

And I also like hearing about stories with players, where it's clear the enjoy the unique support they get here, that they don't get anywhere else.

I'm going to assume the grass skirt had something to do with it, haha.

I think his wife wanted the picture with the guy all decked out, including the grass skirt. Something about never having seen someone dressed up like that!

Nick Garcia is a great guy. I spoke to him for a good 10-15 minutes before the real madrid practice. I can honestly say he's a class act. He's a solid center back for TFC and a great professional.

Here it is...http://www.redpatchboys.ca/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=388&d=1250551442

A minutes or 2 after the picture was taken I ran over to Mrs Garcia, and asked her to send me the picture (my email address is much shorter than TFCvB's and all I had to write with was a sharpie) or we'd never have seen it.

If you watch TFC TV, you see that when Nick went back to San Jose, he spent a good amount of time speaking to and signing for fans in San Jose that welcomed him back.

Nick is one of the smartest players I have met. A solid guy through and through. I don't know if he will be around for long in Toronto but I am glad for whatever time he does spend here.
