TFC TRIVIA: Ongoing thread for the supporters who know everything

[Razcle]

Even though TFC has a relatively short history, I thought it would be fun to start up a trivia thread where you can post questions, be the first to answer, and learn/remember a few things that have been notable about the club and its history.

To keep it running without confusion, Please post questions with Q# for a new question and post corresponding A# for answers (or quote question).

I'll start the first one, just something I came across today. Hope this keeps rolling and I can increase my trivia knowledge of my beloved TFC

[Razcle]

Q1.

Who was the first Canadian Born TFC player to score a goal at BMO field?

[TFC OZZ]

Q1.

Who was the first Canadian Born TFC player to score a goal at BMO field?

A1.

If you're talking about in regular season play, I believe it was Miguel Canizalez.

[ArmenJBX]

Jim Brennan, on a free kick no?

[MG42]

A1.

tyler rosenlund

[ManUtd4ever]

Jim Brennan, on a free kick no?

No, that was in Columbus...

[ArmenJBX]

Oh, at BMO :P

Whoops :D

[MG42]

A1.

If you're talking about in regular season play, I believe it was Miguel Canizalez.

He wasn't born in Canada

[jloome]

Lombardo against Villa?

[Razcle]

TYLER ROSENLUND I am told is the answer. Good work MG42

[MG42]

^I think jloome is right, rosenlund was regular season in 2008 but Lombardo scored in the friendly in 2007

[Razcle]

Although Lombardo would also be a winner for his goal against Villa (in an unofficial friendly though)

[jloome]

Hah, you didn't say official, you just said at BMO. So Lombardo is the winner, Mr. Equanimity.

I claim second question!

Name the only TFC defender to have played in the USL, the CSL and MLS BEFORE playing for TFC.

[Razcle]

Q3. I would love to know this:

Who has been the most successful player to leave Toronto FC in terms of number of league and major cup goals scored with new club(s)

[jloome]

Q2. I would love to know this:

Who has been the most successful player to leave Toronto FC in terms of number of league and major cups goals scored with new club(s)

Maurice Edu - Cups

Edson Buddle - Goals

C'mon Razcle, put mine up as an official question:

Name the only TFC defender to have played in the MLS, USL, and the CSL BEFORE playing for TFC.

[Razcle]

A3. I am going to say Conor Casey with 42 for the Crapids or 10.5 per season

[jloome]

It's still Edson Buddle, if you're not nitpicky about the term "cup". 42 goals in THREE seasons, or 14 per season, and the Supporter's Shield in 2009.

If you go by "cup" alone, it's Casey.

[Razcle]

Name the only TFC defender to have played in the MLS, USL, and the CSL BEFORE playing for TFC.

Current and Past players ? and can the CSL extend back to the the old defunct leagues that the CSL turned into or Only the CSL?

This is a tough one dude. I am thinking it has to be a Canadian due to the CSL and I am thinking it is a player that we called up in a one off situation.

[TFCRegina]

Hah, you didn't say official, you just said at BMO. So Lombardo is the winner, Mr. Equanimity.

I claim second question!

Name the only TFC defender to have played in the USL, the CSL and MLS BEFORE playing for TFC.

I had guessed either Serioux or Cann but neither apparently.

EDIT:

Rick Titus.

Beat me to my edit.

[ArmenJBX]

Sweet!

I get the next question.

Who scored the earliest goal for Toronto FC in all competition?

[Jeffro]

Canizalez

[Heart of Stone]

Saric

[ManUtd4ever]

I think Jeffro's right, it was Canizalez in season 1 to end that mind numbing 8 game scoreless drought...

[Jeffro]

^second minute

[Razcle]

Q5. What English footballer with Canadian Ties was stopped from joining TFC in 2007 by his wife? (his wife was also on a british television show about soccer Wives & Girlfriends)

[TOBOR !]

Q1.

Who was the first Canadian Born TFC player to score a goal at BMO field?

What about at the U19's ? I'm not gonna look it up, but please tell me we weren't held scoreless ?

[kodiakTFC]

Q5. What English footballer with Canadian Ties was stopped from joining TFC in 2007 by his wife? (his wife was also on a british television show about soccer Wives & Girlfriends)

Radzinski?

[kodiakTFC]

What about at the U19's ? I'm not gonna look it up, but please tell me we weren't held scoreless ?

We were in fact kept scoreless.

[billyfly]

Trivia just isn't the same since google.

[TOBOR !]

We were in fact kept scoreless.

yeah - it's all coming back to me now... I didn't want to believe it, but I knew in the back of mind it was true. I remember thinking that after this tournament Dale Mitchell was going to take over the CMNT and how gloomy the future looked. Sad days indeed.

[TOBOR !]

Radzinski?

I was thinking Huckerby, but that wasn't until 2009 ( I think) and I'm not sure about the Canadian ties bit... really I shouldn't have answered this question then.

[King Jeff]

Q5. What English footballer with Canadian Ties was stopped from joining TFC in 2007 by his wife? (his wife was also on a british television show about soccer Wives & Girlfriends)

Marc Bircham

[Razcle]

^ Marc Bircham is correct - His wife who was on WAGS Boutique said something along the lines of Marc wanting to uproot to the MLS and she made the decision for them to say and play at Yeovil.

[Razcle]

Q6.
How many goalkeepers saw action for Toronto FC in 2007 and where are they playing today?

[Island Man]

David Monsalve (sp) Was at FC Inter Turku but released now.
Djekanovic - At Montreal
Gregg Sutton - NYRB
Kenny Stamtapolous (sp) - Still at Tromso isn't he?

Is that it?

[King Jeff]

Sam.... something.

The emergency pool keeper.

[deschamp86]

Sam.... something.

The emergency pool keeper.

Reynolds

[Razcle]

^ Sam Reynolds - played 2 games as an emergency keeper and last played with Austin of the D2

That was kind of unexciting. I thought we had something like 6-7 keepers our first season.

[UltraSuperMegaMo]

Trialed with TFC only to go on and win the Russian Premier League with Rubin Kazan?

EDIT: Sorry wasn't sure if we were expected to throw questions too.

Didn't some kid from Thornhill get a crack at it as well ? or was that Monsalves ?

[King Jeff]

Eremenko?

[Razcle]

EDIT: Sorry wasn't sure if we were expected to throw questions too.

Yah...ask your own questions away

[oxygenatedbrain]

Milosevic.

[TOBOR !]

Q7. Who was considered the first 'official' goat for TFC ?

[UltraSuperMegaMo]

Milosevic.

Correct.

[Razcle]

Q7. Who was considered the first 'official' goat for TFC ?

Is this actual trivia or opinion?

I'm thinking Adam Braz, but I could be very wrong on this one.

[TOBOR !]

I think Reda nipped out Braz, but that could just be me. They both resonate strongly in this particular area.

[jabbronies]

I think the person who answers correctly should get first right to ask the next question. It'll keep things moving smoothly without having answers and conversations overlapping.

A7 - I'm going to say Andy Welsh. he wass the first guy to get the boot wasn't he??
