    Default Rohan Ricketts - Respect

    Since it makes no sense to pile on a guy who is no longer part of the club, I just wanted to make a thread for folks to pay their respects to Mr. Ricketts.

    Was a great public face for the club, and a class individual every time I've seen him.

    Things got a little... weird?... towards the end, with Twitter-gate and what not, but whatever.

    There will always be a dispute about whether you truly got the chance you deserved here, but I'd prefer to pay my respects for things you DID do, and do well. I will always remember the brace you got in your first game, and wearing the Jamaica jacket during the Canadian WCQ match, haha.

    For sure

    The day he potted two was a one of the best days at the park so far.

    We could have done much worse than the time spent with Rohan.

    Rohan was a good voice for the club. I'll miss rollin' with Ricketts. I just wish he could have gotten rollin' for TFC.

    Thanks, Rohan, it's sad that things didn't work out. Good luck.

    Classy guy. One of the only TFC players I've actually had a conversation with. I personally think he deserved more playing time, specially the way Vitti and Barrett have played this year. Anyways, Ricketts was the best soap opera that ever hit TFC

    I'll give him that %100....!





    as a footballer...who worked his ass of day in and day out he has never been match fit!....sorry no respect in that department!...After his first season...his off field activities became priority #1....NOt TFC! or his football career!

    Good luck to you!

    All the best for the future Rohan - I hope you find another club soon. Don't forget what I tried to tell you at the Kick Off Dinner - Focus on Football!

    Can you post a link I can't find that at all.


    I hope you stay in TO for a year and move over to Vancouver... I'd be much happier to have you playing some place in Canada.

    Rohan was a class guy who quickly adopted Toronto and the fans, got involved in charity work, promoted soccer and TFC in the city. Sometimes it just does not work out professionally. Hope he lands on his feet somewhere.

    All the best!

    Part of the allure of football is the personality and characters in the game. Ricketts understands that, and I appreciate that. I don't think he played as well here as we expected him to (and himself too I think), and I'm sorry for that. I'll continue to follow his future efforts in the game and wish him well.
