Flashman is a nickname derived from my work as a photographer, often in sports but extending into advertising and commerce. My career began at Toronto Blizzard NASL games and has taken me to three World Cups and major sports events across half the globe.
Pro soccer's long absence here in Toronto let me become the fan I used to be, growing up on both sides of the Atlantic, relatives in constant debate about their favorites. I also grew up in an area full of Italian and Portuguese immigrants who were equally expressive.
For the first time, I'm a season-ticket holder,watchi ng the professional game reborn as Toronto FC join MLS. I'll try to explore this perspective, lend my opinion and share some fun stories of my time in the great game.
