Show Notes Chapter Markers

On The Bluff today,  we catch up with alumnus and former professional footballer Julian De Guzman.  Julian played with many of Europe's big clubs, including clubs in France, Spain, Germany and Greece, eventually coming home to play with hometown club, Toronto FC.  We have another special feature for this episode; a guest host, who also had a career in football overseas, my friend and colleague at St. Maria Goretti Elementary, Ainsley Romany.  Your hosts are excited to delve into the experiences of a Canadian legend of the beautiful game, and a living example of what the right mindset and unwavering dedication can help you achieve in this world.   I am truly honoured to talk with these gentlemen about three of my favourite topics; Newman, Soccer and Soccer.
