Thank You Dichio Thread

Danny Dichio - always a legend in our hearts.

Thanks for everything Danny, and we all look forward to hopefully further contributions to this club in a new capacity.

Dichio 23:13 forever...

Thanks Danny. The first and last goals you scored in 2007 are the closest I've ever come to crying at a sporting event. I will sing your name for years to come.

**Detroit_TFC** · 09-09-2009, 11:26 AM

Nothing I can write can do justice to what Danny's done for TFC, so I'll just say thanks.

2. Danny's last last gasp winner at the end of 2007, which made the whole season just so worth it. The timing of it (as the last game of the season and because it was literally the last kick of the season), the meaning of it snatching something from a game we were losing 2-0, the happiness that exploded from the stands at that time, the record-long scoreless drought erased and the fact that the team wasn't very good no longer mattered. This was one of those moments where all of a sudden, nothing is wrong in the world.

Thank you Danny.

That goal was probably the most joyous time I have ever experienced at a sporting event. Everyone's troubles were swept away, and I agree - all was right in the world. Sappy I know, but true.

Thanks DD for that first ever goal...TFC's finest Moment!!

**trane** · 09-09-2009, 11:29 AM

^ Mighty, you thought he was shite.

When did you start supportin Brazil, when they beat Argentina this weekend?

**Whoop** · 09-09-2009, 11:33 AM

Danny, thanks for showing Toronto what a classy athlete should be like and for knowing what being a teammate is all about.

You put the team #1. And thanks for showing you cared.

Best of luck with your coaching career. I'm sure you'll impart your charges with the same attributes.

Thank you danny for everything you have brought to TFC and Toronto.
You will forever hold a place in our hearts and we will never forget the great moments you brought to BMO!!

Good luck on your new career!!!

**Darlofletch** · 09-09-2009, 11:44 AM

Thanks for everything Danny, hopefully at some point you'll be a TFC coaching legend as well as playing legend. So many good memories, all the goals and sheer effort on the pitch obviously, but also the personality, the corner flag hoisting/kicking, refusing to sing your own song in your off the pitch interview etc etc.

cheers

**AL-MO** · 09-09-2009, 11:48 AM

You have no hair, but WE don't care....you're Danny Dichio.....

Thanks for everything. You always seemed to bag a goal when we needed one!

**TFC Tifoso** · 09-09-2009, 11:48 AM

THANK YOU DANNY DICHIO!!

A model professional, and a legend in the hearts and minds of the supporters! We will never forget your accomplishments to the team, and look forward to having you lead TFC to glory in another capacity.

Bless you and your family, and all the best always!

23:13 FOREVER!!

**Belfast_Boy** · 09-09-2009, 11:52 AM

Thanks Big Man!!!!
a great example on and off the field.

**maninb** · 09-09-2009, 11:53 AM

Danny D...class to the very end....you'll be missed....

**TFC_Junky** · 09-09-2009, 11:55 AM

You'll aways be a legend in the hearts of the TFC Faithful!!! Many thanks for your dedication and best of luck with the TFC Academy.

**lintberg** · 09-09-2009, 11:59 AM

Danny, you are always pure class....you will be missed very much....Thank you!

**Hustle** · 09-09-2009, 12:05 PM

Thanks Danny...Pure class individual. Amazing team player...

Here's looking forward to your next chapter as a Red being long and successful.

**Parkdale** · 09-09-2009, 12:07 PM

thanks a bunch Danny.

I have a t-shirt set aside for you a the tailgate. Come by and grab it.

**Niall** · 09-09-2009, 12:10 PM

I'm gonna miss looking down the sidelines for the shinny head of Danny D warming up. Always waiting for him to come on and change the game or at least weaken the defence. I just wish you could of stayed healthy a little bit longer for us or I got to see you as a younger man.

The memories of 23:13 will live on forever. Along with the New England clencher and many more goals scored along the way. The goal when the Dichio Eat It Banner went up this year was some of the most fun I have had in 112 and I thank you for that.

Look forward to seeing you at the Academy games over the next little while.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Danny Dichio...................

**Snowy** · 09-09-2009, 12:17 PM

I'll never forget that moment at 23:13. It was the first game I brought my 11 year old daughter to, and my celebration was all the more memorable because it was accompanied by the beaming smile on her face as she danced and screamed with 20,000 friends.

When I told her last night that the Legend was retiring today, she cried, but this morning she pulled on her #9 TFC jersey and wore it to school, in honour of our favourite player. She told me she will always own a Dichio jersey and wear it proudly, just like Danny has.

We'll miss you on the field Danny, but I have a feeling that great things will be said about your days in the TFC front office.

As much as I 100% disagree with him on all issues, this isn't really the appropriate place to call him out.

No more of that, please.

**jabbronies** · 09-09-2009, 12:21 PM

I currently don't have a name on my jersey, but I will for sure be getting dichio on it.

I'm also thinking about getting the new jersey, which I'll also be putting Dichio on it.

That's a name that will always be remembered IMO. Kinda like how Gilmour was for the Leafs.

**TOBOR !** · 09-09-2009, 12:25 PM

shouting myself hoarse after that first goal :

"YOU BIG, BALD, BEAUTIFUL BASTARD !!"

IIRC you were a bit much to handle for Chicago and they accused you of trying to bite them, before you were ultimately sent off in order to level the playing field.

We had our first goal, first win, first hero. What a day that was.

**UltraFootyKWC** · 09-09-2009, 12:26 PM

Thanks Danny for being such a class act on and off the pitch, and showing all pro athletes how a real professional is supposed to act.

For your all of your accomplishments here as well as your desire each time you stepped out on the pitch, you will always be a legend in the hearts of the TFC faithful!

**Bender** · 09-09-2009, 12:27 PM

Thanks Danny for all you've done for Toronto!! Excited to hear he will remain with the organization in a coaching role.

**Flipityflu** · 09-09-2009, 12:30 PM

cheers Danny. Best of luck to you and your family.

can i have your boots?

**Gobi** · 09-09-2009, 12:41 PM

A leader, a luminary, a legend.

I don't have the words. I just want to cry.
Danny exemplified everything I love about TFC and this sport.
I look forward to witnessing his accomplishments off the pitch.
