Tintin Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I wasn't sure where to put this, since North York are no longer in existence, but maybe there are some former North York supporters who are now TFC supporters. Although known more nationally for being a Toronto Maple Leaf, Peter Zezel also played for one season with North York as well as a couple of friendlies with the Blizzard when they were in the NASL. Peter Zezel died today of a rare blood disease at the age of 44. Having seen interviews with him about soccer, he was really enthusiastic about TFC and a proud Canadian.

brownbear Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Zezel also represented Canada internationally as a youth. I think it was the U-16 team. Does anyone know for certain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tintin Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 Did he? I wouldn't be surprised. He was quite a good player and only chose hockey late in life. Thank you for responding. This post looked rather lonely and sad. RIP Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoccMan Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Peter Zezel played for a season or two with the North York Rockets of the Canadian Soccer League back in the late eighties or early nineties. He played both youth soccer and hockey growing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Peter I think there are about five or six other threads with this information, which may have contributed to the loneliness of this particular one.

Peter was in the reserves as an amateur IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
