Former Canadian National Team Striker Alex Bunbury joins the program. Alex chats about his career both with the Canucks (Canada National Soccer Time) as well as West Ham United and CS Marítimo. Alex made his debut for Canada at the age of 17 and explains how it felt to barely miss out on making the cut for Canadas 1986 World Cup Squad. Alex explains what it was like immigrating from Guyana to Canada and how he became one of the first Canadians to play for a major European football. Alex went from playing in the Canadian Soccer League to signing with West Ham United and how he dealt with the lack of playing time and his fortuitous transfer to CS Marítimo of the Portuguese Primeira Liga (Portuguese First Division) where he amassed 59 goals and won foreign player of the year award and helped guide the club to an impressive finish in the 1994-95 Taça de Portugal in which the club defeated FC Porto before narrowly losing to Sporting Clube de Portugal (Sporting Lisbon). Alex explains why he has so much admiration for Portuguese football fans and share some amusing details about his time with the club and why he decided to remain loyal to the club despite interest from other clubs. He also explains what makes a good football coach/ football manager and how he helps develop young soccer players. See https://linktr.ee/foreignfootballforecast for more information
