I'm a long time reader and first time poster. I was checking out gallery pictures of Torsten Frings' last game with Werder Bremen on their team site. Interestingly enough, Frings' last game was a friendly held in May against a tier 4 level German squad called SV Wilhelmshaven. I'm looking at this one picture of Frings kicking a ball and I'm thinking... that looks alot like Rohan Ricketts in the background. So I checked it out and sure enough it was. Ricketts was playing against Frings at frings' last Bremen game! The players are in the same shot too which makes it extra significant/funny.

b'ahahhahawha

If Frings doesn't work out, people will think that it's been Ricketts cursing us for all this time.

An even more obscure TFC connection would be that a Canadian player called Riley O'Neill played for SV Wilhelmshaven (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SV_Wilhelmshaven) in 2007 despite his MLS rights being held by TFC after the Conor Casey trade:

Hopefully Frings will carryon some of Rickett's finer traditions. I can't wait for the first installment of the new video blog "Freestylin' with Frings." (2nd place: "Tappin' it with Torsten"

By North American standards, probably. In Europe it would be considered appropriate content for a grade 7-8 school assembly.

Those chunky vertical stripes don't do anything for Rohan's shape.

One thing they don't have in common: Frings wasn't offered a trial with Southend United:
