    What a huge loss. Brian was a great friend and did so much for football in Canada. he got Ally Mc Coist to play for our TSSL team , helped us win the Globe and Mail Cup, played and partied with him ... a minutes silence at Saturdays match is a must, I'm wearing a black arm band
    RIP Brian

    I just got word of this. I'm totally shocked. My prayers and thoughts are with his family and friends. He will be truly missed by all.

    I heard about this last night but didn't want to post anything until there was confirmation. I saw him once in person at the Duke of Argyll after the first Milan-Liverpool CL final, he was having a couple of shots before going on the Score, larger than life character for sure.

    Rest in Peace Brian, I never had the chance to him play, but his contribution to the game in North America obviously is tremendous. My thoughts and prayers are with the Budd family.

    that is awesome about him having a couple shots before going on the score haha. Makes alot of sense with the way he was on the air sometimes! He definantly was taken to early, the footy show wont be the same again...

    There was only one Brian Budd and he broke the mold the day he was born. Great character, great contributor to the Canadian game.

    Some of you wonder why some of us are going on about having TFC commemorate the Blizzard in another thread. Budgie would have understood and supported that. He would have been part of the reason for it.

    And he'd be one of the first guys to say 'get it done'. Not for himself, necessarily, but because of his awareness of what those contributions to the game back then meant to the game today.

    I'm sad to see him taken from us way too soon. I hope there's an appropriate acknowledgement made by TFC and us fans this weekend.

    One Brian Budd, there's only one Brian Budd...

    I had a pretty busy day yesterday and when I got home last night both myself and my wife were quite upset to learn of his passing.

    Our thoughts and prayers are with Birans family, a classy guy all around. As they said on the score last night - raise a pint to his memory, he would have loved that.

    I think using this event to further a seperate cause is how one might interpret your post.

    Like I said in the other thread, I would happily see TFC don Blizzard kits as a tribute to Brian Budd, but I would avoid using the death of Brian Budd to honour the Blizzard, if you see what I mean.

    I agree 100%... I'm not too keen on the Blizzard kits for TFC idea... We are different We are shaping our own history here... I don't feel any connection to the Blizzard besides the fact they played in Toronto... so why would I don their Kits?
