It may surprise many but as a child growing up in Vancouver in the 70s and early 80s, the city’s young soccer team outdrew and was consistently more popular than our young NHL hockey team.\u00a0Yes, there was a time when the Canucks were not the biggest game in town.<\/p>\n
Shocking, I know!<\/em><\/p>\n The Whitecaps<\/em>, the 86ers<\/em> (1986s to 2001) and soccer, in general, have always been an important part of my life. Living in the UK from 1997 to 2003, I also became a supporter of my local club, Fulham FC<\/em>, while they were still a 3rd division club before climbing all the way to the Premiership. Having a great Canadian player in\u00a0Paul Peschisolido<\/a>\u00a0also made it easy to like the club.<\/p>\n When Vancouver Whitecaps returned to the top flight of North American soccer, I now had 2 MLS’s in my life: real estate’s Multiple Listing Service and now\u00a0Major League Soccer<\/a>!<\/p>\n In helping to support soccer’s growth in the city, I advertise on Vancouver’s most in-depth weekly soccer radio talk show, Kia Vancouver Soccer Talk on CISL 650<\/a>. Heard every Saturday from 10pm-midnight & available on podcast<\/a>, host Tyler Green<\/a> and contributor Simon Fudge<\/a> (Vancouver Courier and Goal.com writer) discuss the Whitecaps<\/a>, Major League Soccer and soccer from around the globe.<\/p>\n Here’s the new ad for FindAProperty.ca on Kia Vancouver Soccer Talk:<\/p>\n\n
