    Default Toronto FC Player Sightings


    There have been a few occasions now where I have happened to see TFC players around the GTA just out doing their own thing… and I was just wondering if anyone else happens to ever see TFC players randomly around the GTA? I don’t mean a player walking to their car after a match or practice, or at a TFC event or public appearance… I mean just them out doing their own thing… well I have happened to spot TFC players around the GTA now for the fourth time yesterday as I was leaving Canada’s Wonderland where I saw Chad Barrett eating ice cream with his girlfriend around 9pm… (The reason for me starting this thread)… the other three occasions were when I saw Carl Robinson walking not to far from union station with his wife and daughter the day after TFC’s inaugural home match in 2007…. I also spotted Stefan Frei at the corner of John and Richmond with his girlfriend chowing down on some street meat last summer… and the fourth time I spotted a player was last summer at the CNE when I happened to be walking right behind Greg Sutton, he was also with his wife and baby daughter… at no time have I gone up to a player when I see them randomly… (I have met many players and tend to know when, where and how to meet them appropriately)… because I assume they would appreciate their own space and not to have some random person go up to them… so I was just wondering if anyone else had any stories like mine to tell?

    Is this anything like the Ricketts sighting thread?
    Because that was fun!

    I haven't seen any TFC players randomly in the streets yet. The only professional soccer players that I did run into was a few of the West Ham players when they were here a few years back at the Eaton Centre.

    Wynne, Edu, and sometimes Robbo would have breakfast on game days at Cora's - the one around front and spadina. I lived in the area and would chat them up from time to time about the game.

    Bumped into Edu at the CNE a few years back, all decked out in his game-day suit.

    Saw DeRo at the Chin picnic last year.

    My cousin lives around the corner from Jimmy B

    I've seen Barrett down at the harbourfront near the 550 Queen's Quay condos.

    Ricketts... well where didn't we see Ricketts!

    Saw De Guz chatting on his cellphone outside the ACC a couple months back.

    And a few weeks later, I saw Adrian Cann with his girl in Leslieville while I was having brunch with my wife.

    Aah I remember walking up Yonge around Eglinton around 10pm and Cunningham came up to me asking me for directions to a nearby street. I remember also because this started a discussion on the forums here. He was smoking a cig.

    ^Speaking of smoking cigs, a guy I know just got back from Vegas where he hung out with Wayne Rooney one night at a club. Said Rooney was chainsmoking like a fiend.

    Saw Ali Gerba last Sunday in Montreal.
    I never noticed that it was him until someone pointed it out to me.
    He didn't stand out.
    I was at the Impact game for his first match.

    ran into Labrocca outside the goodlife gym in liberty village and had a pleasant chat - he loves T.O., nice guy. Bought Barret and his buddy a couple of beers last year at the Croc Rock - decent guy for sure.
