Trivia - the last player from the old CSL still playing professional soccer?

[Toje]

Who is the last player who played in the old CSL still to be playing professional "soccer"?

I think he is the last player.... I could be wrong though.

There are still players playing now? Wasn't the CSL dead like 21 years ago?

[Toje]

Yes, there is one player still around (that I know of) and he is now 39. He made his debut in the CSL in 1990.

[Lord Bob]

I had to look it up. That is an excellent piece of trivia.

Is Radz still playing in lower league in Belgium?

If not I'm stumped.

[Toje]

He isn't playing the traditional game of soccer... more of an Americanized version.

He made his CSL debut with Edmonton, and received his only full cap for the Canadian team in the mid 1990's.

So did I. Apparently he played for the Lasers in 1992, but have to admit I don't remember him despite being at pretty much all the home games.

Giuliano Oliviero!! I didn't realize he was still active. Great guy. I remember interviewing him when he was with the Impact. Amazing that he had such a long career.

[ddoouugg]

wow! I played with him when i was 5.

[Toje]

Yes, Giuliano Oliviero it is!

I am also surprised he is still playing, but I guess the indoor game has been kind to him over the years.

Ian Bennett (28) is another Canadian on Milwaukee who has been having a good indoor soccer career. 75 games with Milwaukee since 2009 with 41 goals. Previously he spent 4 years with the Hamilton Thunder 2001-2005, and after bounced around for a few more years before finding his way to Milwaukee.

Edit - a former CSL player is now playing again...

Fernando Aguiar who was with the Toronto Blizzard from 1991-1993 is now playing with Pedroucos in Portugal. He signed a contract back in November 2013 with the club.

So, there are two players still playing.

[1996]

Ya Fernando Aguiar still to this day have never understood why a player who at the time was a regular starter in Portugal's top league and even when playing with Benfica and starting with Benfica yet was hardly called to the Canadian National team during World Cup qualifying for 2002 and 2006, strange.

Funny just yesterday I came across his LinkedIn page and it said he was doing business related to Gondemar, a former club. Did not know he was playing still.

We used to write, since I was one of his fanboys, I might send him a note again.

Apparently love never dies.. send the note for Valetines .... seriously I bet he like the sentiments that he was fondly remembered.

[Toje]

He is STILL around... just called up for the Canadian futsal training camp to be held in Vaughan.
