Andy Mitten, a well-reputed, Barcelona-based, football-writer friend of mine sent me a text a few months ago. Do you know a player called Issey Nakajima-Farran?
I told him yes, he was known to me. “Used to play for the Impact, Toronto FC and was a Canadian international etc ... “
Andy said, “Yeah, he turned up to play for my Sunday Morning League team in Barcelona. Said he’d played a bit in Canada, Europe, Australia, Asia and a few other places besides.”
It got me thinking and wondering how many ex-Impact players are out there somewhere and still playing pro-football.
