Red vs. Blue. Ontario vs. Quebec. Toronto vs. Montreal.
From the taunting, passionate supporters to tensions flaring on the pitch, the 401 Derby is an occasion that players on either side relish taking part in.
Over the years, 17 footballers have spent time with both Toronto and Montreal during their professional careers.
So, in no particular order, here are the players who have donned the kits of Canada’s two most successful clubs.
Laurent Ciman
[Montreal: 2015-2017, Toronto: 2019-2020]
Before crossing the Atlantic to join Montreal in 2015, Ciman played for four different Belgian sides: Charleroi, Club Brugge, Kortrijk (loan), and most notably, Standard Liege, where he made 187 appearances and won the Belgian Cup in 2011.
