Episode Notes: Barcelona was in the backstory and also in the background (for Stevie) as Victor pinpointed playing at the Nou Camp as the basis for his cool head under pressure, and also argued that the TFC squad he was part of had the quality to play ‘the Barca way’.

Victor spoke about his favorite TFC goal, a cheeky under the wall freekick in the 5-0 mauling of  Columbus Crew; and his favorite pass, feeding Jozy Altidore in the 2017 play off final.

He spoke honestly about his reasons for leaving Toronto, and how he now regrets the move: ‘Only two times in my career did I think about money. One time going from Brugge to Mexico - mistake. And one time from TFC to Qatar - and I think another mistake.’ 

The team discussed how that ‘mistake’ may have been based on fears of limited playing time after a serious back injury kept Victor on the sidelines for much of the 2018 season, and how renewed health means his sights are set back on the MLS.

On the same night as the Jose Bautista bat flip, Giovinco scored one of the finest - and most important goals - in TFC history. Seba tells us about his decision to rush home from International duty to lead the team to victory.

Sealing TFC’s first ever play-off appearance, Seba talks us through ‘that’ goal, from the moment he received the ball to the moment it hit the back of the net. 

It was an attacking pairing that produced 102 goals in 88 games - Seba describes his fearsome on field partnership with Jozy Altidore.

The Footy Talks team share contrasting memories of that magical night - with KJ walking the streets of a euphoric downtown Toronto, and Wileman (possibly) threatened at gunpoint by a disgruntled cameraman in Texas (!!).

We take great questions from listeners including: 

• What was Seba’s second best TFC goal?
• Does Jozy need a player in the Seba mould to perform at his best?
• Would you make the trade of Pozuelo for Giovinco?
