Caroline Szwed and Liam Horrobin were joined by a special guest today, former Canadian international Bob Lenarduzzi. Lenarduzzi played 48 times for the Canadian Men's National Team, which included a trip to the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. He re-lived many of those memories with us on the show and about Canada's path to get there.
We went right back to the start with Bob and talked about his experience playing in England with Reading. He explained what the experience was like and how it all came about.
He then spoke about one of his heroes, Alan Ball, who he watched at the 1966 World Cup, which England won. Fortunately for Bob Lenarduzzi, he and Ball played together with the Vancouver Whitecaps. He told a great story about what Ball once told him in the dressing room at halftime.
Later on, we dove into Alphonso Davies's time with the Vancouver Whitecaps, the progress Canadian soccer has made, and how this is a fantastic time for the sport to be growing in Canada.
You can hear all of that and more on today's episode of Kicked Back.
