As a dedicated Toronto Blizzard supporter, this match was a heartbreaker with the Bliz coming back from a 2 nil deficit on goals by South Africa's John Paskin and Italian legend Roberto Bettega (his last goal).
It was also our last opportunity to see Ace Ntsolengoe who would die far too young at the age of only 54 on May 8, 2006. Today, he would be making millions playing in Europe. He was that good!
...... and then there's David Byrne, son of England international Johnny Byrne. Damn that guy could play!
We were lucky to have them plus all the fine young Canadians who plied their trade with the club through the years such as Brian Budd, Tony Chursky, Blagoje Tzamdzic, Paul James, Randy Ragan, Charlie Falzon, Colin Miller, Pasquale Deluca, Trevor McCallum and many more.
The Blizzard were a wonderful part of my life so, in this video, I only remember the two fine goals of that last match.
Sorry Sting fans! ;)
