Oh where did I see a similar bus like that again on this 10 year TFC journey.Originally Posted by Oldtimer
August 5, 2007 Beckham came to Toronto (he didn't play due to an injury). To mock the media hoopla the RPB rented a double-decker bus to arrive in style:

The Reds actually agreed to a loan for him and he never showed.

I remember watching that season's opener at Joe's and how wild everyone went after the second goal (I think it was Defoe who scored) and thinking to myself...OMG wow...this is what winning is like...Oh where did I see a similar bus like that again on this 10 year TFC journey.
That was also the match which the season opening broadcast was delayed...because of a curling match...only in Canada eh?
Totally remember being down at Joe's for that and waiting for it to come on. Not the first time something else on the air got in the way of TFC game, remember Sportsnet showing a champions league match on tape delay due to of all thing a random baseball game going into extra inning. Remember when the TFC season opener vs Columbus one year was going to be on tape delay so Parkie hooked up a computer to the AV system at Joe's so it could be streamed live. Oh the things we do.

The one memory that makes me laugh time and time again is Bright Dike's 25 yard strike against SKC where his boot ended up in the net and the ball landed in St. Louis lol
Also that time Danny Dichio hoisted the corner flag in the pouring rain

Not sure if this is the guy you are referring to Savo Miloević, he was a striker who played for Villa at one time, but he was defo strongly connected with us at one time
This would be cool for the trip from Joe's to the stadium on Saturday!
August 5, 2007 Beckham came to Toronto (he didn't play due to an injury). To mock the media hoopla the RPB rented a double-decker bus to arrive in style:
O, Maple Leaf around the world, You speak as you rise high above,
Of courage, peace and quiet strength, Of the Canada that I love.
Remind us all, our union bound by ties we cannot sever,
Bright flag revered on every ground, The Maple Leaf forever
Our group is much bigger now, we'd need 5 buses!
It would be cool, but I don't think we have the time to organize something like this. Besides, I'm hoping to be celebrating an MLS Cup parade after the 10th (and I don't even like parades)!
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
That's the fucking guy! thank you.
Season Ticket Holder #57.
I am the only one left out of the 4.
Didnt anyone post the pic of the naked streaker guy who shat himself?
Oh man, if only I knew how to post pics lololol
This team (and this group!!) has been such an integral part of one third of my life. And so much has happened in those ten years, that I can't imagine my life without TFC.
Yep, there is video of it somewhere in this thread.

I remember the bus driver yelling back at us in a temporary lull in the chanting ... "I've heard lot's of victory songs, but this is the first losing song I've ever heardBouncing the school bus through the streets in Boston & the Hand of God in Kansas City
We were singing about losing the game with pride!
"We don't win at home! And we don't win away!"
somebody recently posted a video of that shit
Hahaha...I remember that.
Craziest bus ride ever!
Those where the days when we were just happy about everything...Win, lose it didn't matter.

Alan Frew's gift of "My Town" - TFC version
Also liked the U-Sector year end reviews with the Boom de yah da version.
Saying "opa!" after a Kenny Stamatopolous goal kick.
or Danny's goal against New England in added time to earn a point in the final game of the first season. You can see such pure joy in 112 and a lot familiar faces !!

Toronto FC baby...best team everrrrrrrrrr -Jozy
Thats a great shot of 112
Anyone have any pics of our first gathering to watch game 1 vs Chivas....If i can recall it was at the elephant and castle i think?
I would parse through this thread but my friend just told me Luis Figo has spotted in Yorkville and I have strapped on my rollerblades to confirm.
Here's to hoping those jokes haven't been taken 6x over already.
