Just ran across this today.  Ah, memories!  Hard to believe that was 20 years ago.  It's good to see a new generation take over and go further than I could've ever imagined back in those early days.  I'm amazed anyone still remembers at all.

Owen Hargreaves:

PLAY FOR CANADA! DON'T FORCE ME TO TAKE YOU OFF THE REGISTER!

That always stuck with me - In the now invalid <blink> tags .  Memories indeed.

Did you create a Canadians Abroad list long ago at a website.  Seems to me one of the earliest was from someone named Ray, I could be wrong.

Yeah, sort of.  I think it was Marc P maintaining the Canadians Abroad list while I was tracking official Canadian caps (Senior, Olympic, U20, U17) back in the day when cap-tied meant cap-tied, no ifs ands or buts.  There was something to be said for simplicity back then .  I wouldn't attempt the endeavor today.

Here's a couple of files I kept from that era.  One is my official caps list.  The other is the first "Canadians Abroad" type list I ever came across from Jason Kmet.  Have fun reminiscing.

Wait, who was the guy at Stevenage then.... ended up in an FA Cup tie, I had to pay $20 to get into a legion that was putting it on TV on Kingsway.

* Looking back I can now appreciate how insane people thought I was.

 

Khaska Walker? 

Ah, those were the days!  Dark days for Canadian soccer, but still fondly remembered.

^ So, another Quebecois and Canada-eligible player at Lille B after Zohran Bassong.  He's signed to a 3.5 year contract at Lille so they must think well of him.

Brym is a 1998 so can't be a part of our next U20 team.  Says he hasn't been contacted by Soccer Canada.

Dont see anything on him so ill post this maybe someone knows more about him. 

Jordan Perruzza born in Toronto (Italian dad), formerly with the TFC academy, is with the youth team of Empoli FC. Plays as a striker and scored 2 goals against Juve in March for the U16s. Cant find anymore stats or information on him. 

He is known to the CSA - has attended U15 camps in both 2015 and 2016.
