Toronto FC baby...best team everrrrrrrrrr -Jozy
Nice, my rec team had a moments silence before our game and it was fitting tribute to the man. Everyone knew who he was and he will be missed by the canadian soccer community.
its good to hear, very sad and shocking news
Just posted this on The Score's footy blog:
"Toronto FC will hold a moment of silence for Mr. Budd at Saturday's game. If you're in attendance, please respect it. Budgie was a football legend both for his country and his hometown."
A minutes silence is the least he should expect but it'd be nice if the devoted football fans amongst us who maybe met him or watched him regularly gave an appropriate tribute. I remember during the Utd v City game on the anniversary of Munich the Man City fans sang "There's only one Frank Swift" for 2 or 3 minutes, sent a shiver up the spine that did. FYI for those who don't know Frank Swift was a City legend who died in the Munich disaster while working as a journalist.
This is great news. He certainly deserves this respect from both the club and the fans.
Toronto 'til I die although still a Leeds fan at heart...
God bless his soul
I think Budgie would have liked us to cheer as loud as possible for a minute instead
^^^ Yeah I think you're right
Toronto 'til I die although still a Leeds fan at heart...
We can do that after the moment of silence...at least the moment of silence also shows respect for his wife and kids.
Maybe we can have a chant for him, like someone said?
There's only one Brian Bu-uud
There's only one Brian Bu-uud
One of Canada's best, sadly laid to rest
Budgie you're a legend, yes you are
It would be nice if there could be some sort of dedication of the game to Brian Budd.
^^^ that is a cool idea, or you could do the Marco Polo/Marco Velez thing...Brian Budd, back and forth in the south end...would be much simpler and easier for everyone
Guys I have an idea, how about at the 56th minute since he was 56 we all start chanting Budgie.
Too much to ask for a last minute thing. But if some people get it going it may catch on.
I am just not sure how I feel about it happening DURING the game since he was not a TFC player or employee. Before the game I think is probably the most approrpiate.
After the minutes silence is probably the simplest and most effective...

so right after the minute of silence, BRIAN!!! BUDD!! BRIAN!!! BUDD!!
Why not remake the Earth, Wind and Fire classic - BUDGIE WONDERLAND!!
not chanting......a minute of silence is the supreme show of respect from the loudest stadium in MLS
Yes - a moment of silence is whats needed... Cheer or chant for him after...
There is something electric, yet respectful when 20,000 screaming fans ALL STOP for one minute...
It is the ultimate show of respect...
Carts...
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
There's Only One Brian Budgie
There's Only One Brian Budgie
silence for a minute, then chant his name.. do it right then. Cuz if you do the chant later half the people won't understand it. the acoustics don't always travel well around the stadium. But if it's done right after the minute of silence, everyone will know.
that's the way to go, I'm in the UK and I'll be watching on mlslive but i seriuosly doubt they'll show the minute of silence, if one of you who'll be there could somehow catch it on video and post it here, i know i'd appreciate it and i'm sure a lot of others would to, cheers, budgie, you're a legend
