Damien Perquis Having Stellar Bounce-Back Season with Toronto FC

The controversial defender has proved a lot of his doubters wrong to start the 2016 season, and if last Saturday's game was any indicator, he is just getting started.

Defensively, Toronto FC was a mess last season and at the centre of that mess was Damien Perquis. The veteran centre back was the club's most used central defender last year, becoming the leader of the backline by default, and as such drew plenty of criticism for his role in the club conceding a league-worst 58 goals. Many wanted him out of town.

But Perquis may well have been guilty by association if the 2016 season is any indicator.
