losing

Dinamo & everything else 01 November @ 01:37 PM EST
The U10 lads are in a bit of a slump as it turns out. Last weeks loss and yesterday a 5-3 loss. Now the lads are 4w's and 3l's with no D's. It was one of those games that didn't auger well - the other team only had 6 so I agreed (not my best decision in hindsight) to match them 6 on 6.
Of course, it was disruptive because we've been playing well with a 2-1-2-1 outfield - so I have to take part of it on the chin. Click to continue reading...

A list of 20 fans' favourites is being compiled, and frankly, for a team as steeped in history as ours, there just ain't enough room for everyone. Some names effortlessly pick themselves – true Lane legends such as Blanchflower, Perryman, Mabbutt, Greaves and Bill Nick.

When Toronto Pulled in the Stars

A More Splendid Life 09 July @ 01:55 PM EST
With torrents of cash flying back-and-forth through the now completely shattered and bent-framed European transfer window, it's nice to remember a time when print journalists could secure the services of knighted football players for travel, room and board, and about $125 a week. In Toronto in 1961, soccer was the sport of immigrants. Click to continue reading...
