    Yes, he started at the 2007 All-Star game and wore 5 as he did all season long with the Reds. Found a pic on Gettyimages where you can see #5 on his short. To confirm what Phil mentioned, he did wear #7 in 2008 for San Jose after they selected him in the expansion draft.

    The other players held their numbers on the wall. Anyhow, TFC has been notified and investigating it.

    We agree.
    He was the first Canadian to score a league goal at BMO field.

    I know that online the most popular thing seems to be naysaying everything new, but I gotta admit, some of these honours are kinda dumb. When I think of great TFC club and player moments, I think of the inaugural season, Dichio's goal, Jim Brennan as first Captain, The Miracle in Montreal, DeRo, and the combination of Gio, Bradley, Altidore and last year's playoff run. Metros-Croatia makes no sense to me and putting Defoe up suggests the club is again completely out of touch with what the fans feel and think. I know I couldn't care less about his All-Star selection. And yeah, can't say I ever remember O'Brien wearing #7 on the back of a TFC shirt.

    That entire wall structure is a joke - at both ends. What's it made from? Leftover pieces of vinyl siding from Habitat For Humanity?

    It should include the name(s) of the fan(s) who nailed that poser Eddie Johnson with well-tossed beers after he scored the first ever goal at BMO Field.

    Anyone know what happened to the Supporters Wall?
    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

    O'Brien was #5, Andy Welsh (who ahem should also be on the wall....) was number 7.

    This wall was made by someone who doesn't understand TFC history at all. Putting up the All Stars and Metro-croatia was just an attempt to get as much up as possible. Thankfully it looks like a temporary thing that is easily changed.


    If the metro-croatia inclusion was to continue to justify the blue and white kit as celebrating Toronto's Footy history instead of what it is, an attempt to appease BMO with their corporate hue, then I would be incredibly upset if I was a Metro-Croatia supporter (and I'm already pissed as a TFC fan that we are trying to co-opt the history of another group. Lets not be the White caps or Limp'act here)
