Who's your favourite TFC player of all time

[Morlesio14]

Who's your favourite player in TFC history? A bit off topic but all in good fun.

Chad Barrett is up there for me, wore the red shirt with pride.

[Gazza]

Kevin Harmse.

[tfcmanu]

Andrea Lombardo - TFC ruined his career LOL :facepalm:........For real AMADO GUEVARA

[brad]

Marco Reda or Adam Braz

[Gazza]

Marco Reda or Adam Braz

There can only be one.

[prizby]

Andy Welsh

[Macksam]

Maxim Usanov:rolleyes:




In all seriousness, Doneil Henry. He was a beast in that second leg upset against Montreal. He willed TFC to victory that day. He's got the potential to become something really big.

[trane]

Danny Dichio.


Gave it his all, and gave us severall of the very few moments of real joy in supporting this team.

[levyashin]

dichio

[maxpower]

Marco Reda or Adam Braz

Double post.

[maxpower]

Marco Reda or Adam Braz


Marco Reda coaches my son. He's a dick.

But ya Danny, Barrett, Robinson, Brennan But Robinson is probably first.

And Martin Saric.

[Torontotonto]

#9 DD for me with John Carver slightly behind

[TFC07]

I don't have a favourite player. There hasn't been a TFC player that I got me excited to watch him play.

[ArmenJBX]

Ah jeez, I don't even know.

[Wagner]

Dichio.

Frings and Koevermans just behind Danny D.

[Red CB Toronto]

I enjoyed Rohan Ricketts very much, got to know him a bit off the pitch and have kept tabs on his career ever since which to say the least has been interesting.

[SoccMan]

Paul Mariner:hump:

[T-boy]

Has to be Dichio for me. Not a fantastic player by any means, but the memory of that first ever TFC goal will live with me forever. That's one of my best ever memories (not just in football, but all of life!). The last goal of that season against NE was equally as special.

[FluSH]

Danny Dichio... Without question. He gave this team A set of balls.

2nd... Amado Guevara

[daner90]

Dero....no questions asked

[19Barrett19]

Richard Ekersley when playing like he did vs RSL in Salt Lake City. The clearance did it for me and the opposing crowd booing

[ensco]

No one else is close.

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=T-NfJCveHdA

[Oldtimer]

Dichio

[Gazza]

Typical Toronto fans, our best player has only been mentioned once.

And no, i don't mean Kevin Harmse.

If this were a Leaf thread, i doubt Sundin would make the first page either.

[Alonso]

I haven't been inspired by any of our players to date to the point were I can say that he was my favourite TFC player of all-time. None of them have been around for any notable length of time to even mention.

My ranking:

1. No one
2. De Rosario (but his tenure was too short)
3. Koevermans (but again, his tenure is to short to be considered as a "franchise player")


SIDE NOTE: This thread highlights the failure of this club over the last 6 years on so many levels. Please Mr. Payne, make this right.

[Yohan]

Typical Toronto fans, our best player has only been mentioned once.

And no, i don't mean Kevin Harmse.

If this were a Leaf thread, i doubt Sundin would make the first page either.favourite does not equal best player. everyone has their own reason for their favorite player

[Auzzy]

Dichio.

And Sundin would definitely be my favourite Leafs player, BTW.

[jloome]

I dunno why except that he was always efficient and effective, but I thought Nick Soolsma was a good winger for MLS; it was a shame him leaving.

[bones]

Carl Robinson for me. 100% class

[Klinsmann]

DeRo, Frings and Matt Gold

[AdamAM]

Aghhh between Morgan Henry Kocic and DeRo I gotta say DeRo we've never had a player like him. Could literally carry the whole team. So creative in the midfield as well.

[jiforio]

Dichio, Brennan, and Robinson, in that order... Losing Robinson was a huge blow. Class act on the field and off.

[gate7]

DeRo....the team was never the same after he left.

[Cashcleaner]

Dwayne De Rosario. No player has ever had even close to an impact on this team as he did and he remains one of the league's most outstanding clutch performer.

[Brooker]

Dichio. Nobody else is even close.

Legend.

[bigredone]

While creating the only memorable moment from this season I will have to say the black cat. He/she barely contributes to the cap.

Seriously, Doniel Henry. We will all name him in a few years.

[ryan]

DeRo, no question.

[Wull]

Robbo easily

[Belfast_Boy]

This guy. Gotta be proud of the Scarborough man. Everyone loves a hometown hero....... except in Toronto.

The only player that gave this team hope or respect around the league. AND he is homegrown. How could he not be a favourite? Even though Kevin Harmse is much better looking.

[Ageroo]

DeRo

[Lucky Strike]

Dichio for sure.

[ACSertL]

As much as I'd like to say Torsten Frings, mine is Amado Guevara.

[Derko]

I don't have a favourite player. There hasn't been a TFC player that I got me excited to watch him play.

That is a shame, but hey, mine was Carl Robinson, the look on his face when he scored against TFC as a NYRB clinched it.

[Dreadlocks]

My Favorite player: Dero
Favorite Coach: JC

https://www.scalarmail.com/service/home/%7E/?auth=co&id=85392&part=2

[Super]

Danny Dichio.


Gave it his all, and gave us severall of the very few moments of real joy in supporting this team.

This! Dichio scored a lot of memorable goals for us, but he also helped to give us identity and pride in our team - even with shit results. For that we will continue to sing his praise for many, many years to come.

[ManUtd4ever]

Dichio, DeRo (based solely on his performance), and Koevs.

[cmonyoureds]

1) Robinson
2) Edu - he got us grass for crying out loud!
3) Dichio/DeRo

[Carts]

1) Robinson
2) Edu - he got us grass for crying out loud!
3) Dichio/DeRo

You make him sound like a drug dealer LOL...

[DangerRed]

Nicest guy: Adrian Cann

Best performer: DeRo

Favorite all-around: Alan Gordon.

[burlington Red]

Colin Samuel as the average overweight fan could relate to him

[Mark in Ottawa]

"Favorite Player" ... not necessarily "Best Player" .... with points for being decent human beings ...
Danny Dichio, Carl Robinson, Amado Guevera.

[MKR]

I'm in the "Dichio and no one else comes close" camp.

[Jack]

DeRo

http://www.goltv.ca/assets/1/AssetManager/DeRosario.jpghttp://cdn.dipity.com/uploads/events/bcae93a3bac6085aa7989b8cfd736dea_1M.pnghttp://www.sportsnet.ca/soccer/2011/03/20/de_rosario_dwayne_487_381.jpg

This guy right here. I had my moments when I was mad at him, but the moments that I loved him far outweighed them. Our hometown boy who wore that crest with a ferocity and pride that have been matched by almost no other (Danny D was another who wore it with heart). I still remember DeRo going after that Chivas (I think?) player who was taunting us and giving him the finger wag in the face as in "don't fuck with my supporters".

*sigh*

[MartinUtd]

As much as I'd like to say Torsten Frings, mine is Amado Guevara.

Gotta say I agree with you. Although Danny K is up there for me, as is Morgan for my favourite home grown player.

[Suds]

Dichio or DeRo .. it's a toss-up but either one for me

[eustacchio]

The only name I actually contemplated putting on my jersey was Attakora...not saying that he's my favourite.

I'm going to go with Eckersley, and think about it for a while.

[trane]

This! Dichio scored a lot of memorable goals for us, but he also helped to give us identity and pride in our team - even with shit results. For that we will continue to sing his praise for many, many years to come.


That is it. I have never felt better about the team then when he was playing. I love Frings, Danny K and De Ro, are all better players (altought I think that Dichio was a great traditional target CF, one that could score and create for us) but while I liked them I had already started having real issues with MLSE.

[cmonyoureds]

You make him sound like a drug dealer LOL...

Well if he's looking for a way to become #1 on the list of everyone here..........grass all around. LOL

[Parkdale]

Andy Welsh.

definitely Welsh.

[Parkdale]

Carl Robinson for me. 100% class

He still owes me a Welsh jersey because we had a bet. (and not... I mean Wales, not Andy Welsh)

a few others who I really liked on the squad :
Todd Dunivant,
Andy Boyens,
Laurent Robert (for the 3 games he cared about),
Amado Guevara,
Greg Sutton (you always remember your first)

and looking to the future, I expect to see greatness from Eric Hassli and Danny K this season.

[Pigfynn]

Danny D.

Gave this club a heart.

[boomcha]

DeRo for me. That beautiful night in Montreal wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for him. TFC has gone way downhill since he was pushed out. Worst trade ever.

2nd. Dichio - first goal and a red card for trying to bite someone in the face, all in the same game!

3. Brennan - stand up guy.

[peskypetey]

#33 Robinson for me, pure class and always gave it his all.

[SuperTCP]

Dichio for his heart and balls.
DeRo for his skill.

[__wowza]

http://i.imm.io/PJc2.pnghttp://i.imm.io/PJc2.pnghttp://i.imm.io/PJc2.png

[mowe]

Guevara and DeRo in the past. Henry and Morgan right now. I really hope Mariner gives Henry consistent minutes, he has all the tools to be a top MLS CB.

Also shame DeRo didn't work out. On paper it was a match made in heaven.

[Jpexxx]

1. Jimmy Brennan

I know he gets shit on a lot around here. Still to me, nothing tops Jimmy's first season here playing through 2 broken ribs and a broken wrist. Almost played every single minute if it wasn't for a late season knee injury. His gol vs Columbus from the free kick is still my favourite TFC goal.

2. Amado Guevara

Added another dimension to our attack. Creative in the center of the park, and a dead eye shot on free kicks. I wish we could have added a few more pieces to help share the offensive load when he was here, he seemed like he coulda been a big-game type player had we snuck into the play offs.


3. Dwayne De Rosario

Fantastic on set pieces. Powerful shot. Gave a shit about the team and its fans.

[Oldtimer]

:rofl::lol::lol::lol:

[Ultra & Proud]

I only got one name printed on a jersey so far and from all the years, minus a few magical Dichio moments, the war this guy had against Shalrie Joseph when we finally beat the Revs still comes up when we talk about the old days.


http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3408/3558833341_d1ef83ccd7.jpg

[GuelphStorm2007]

IT will always be Dichio for me gave us our first goal and some Identity also in that first season and currently a very good broadcaster on Fox Soccer report.

[__wowza]

:rofl::lol::lol::lol:

come on.. what did you expect?

LEST YOU FORGET AT ONE POINT PEOPLE ON THIS BOARD THOUGHT I WAS, OR WAS ASSOCIATED WITH FUAD IBRAHIM TO GET EVERYONE TO LIKE HIM.
