Hey guys,

So I was checking out the personal pages in Wikipedia for some footy guys I didn't know about for the new FC Edmonton team, and when I went to the Toronto FC page and started looking at the Bios for our current team, I saw that only 20% of our guys had TFC pictures.

Worse off Adrian Cann is in a Whitecaps jersey, Dero a Dynamo jersey, JDG a Depor jersey, Barrett in a Fire jersey, ect. Now this is an obvious slap in the face as these are our boys being as the world uses Wikipedia, to get general info on players, I think we need to showcase them in TFC colours.

So if anyone has (from their personal camers) good individual action pics of the following players, I will post them proud on Wiki. I can also crop somewhat but hopefully the pic you have is just of the player.

Need:
Conway, JDG, Ibbe, Gargan, Cann, DeRo, Joseph, White, Barrett, Harden, LaBrocca, Sanyang, Peterson, Saric, Gala, Kocic, Usanov, Hscanovics

It's great that someone is doing this - I was just thinking about this last week or so but I don't have the dedication/time. I'll see what I've got.

Never heard of the site before. Lots of images indeed, however, the only one I could find that was usable in last 10 mins was a Mo Edu one. I have no problem posting a TFC pic of our former players, however I don't want to overwrite one of them with their currrent team.

First lets get our current guys taken care of.

I always found that weird how they haven't changed the jersey's even though they have been playing for TFC for a while.

I think for Cann we should use one of his modeling shots

I've cross-posted your request on the U-Sector board, some of them will likely have pictures.

UPDATE: Needed

JDG, Ibbe, Gargan, Cann, DeRo, Joseph, White, Barrett, Harden, Sanyang, Peterson, Saric, Gala

Also. If you have good pics of former players, I can put them up as well. Majority of most former players dont have photos, and we know they looked best in Red:scarf:

Isn't the whole idea of this to put up photos of the player with his current team?

Well the goal is actually to spread the word about TFC as well as insure our current roster is updated in TFC red. I know pleanty of casual soccer fans around the world use Wikipedia as their source of info on players they are unfimiliar with. So by throwing a picture up of them in a TFC outfit, I believe we will be helping to spread information about our team, even if it is only visual.


For the former players, I would not hijack an image of them with their current team, as someone ovbiously took the time to update their page, and this is not about being an internet menace. However if they don't have any image up (like many don't), or the TFC image is the most updated shot of them available on Wikipedia, I have no issues putting one up of them in red.


NOW Keep them comming!!!!!!!!! I would like to have a "Dichio-Mad-Flag" type of shot for all of our boys if possible
