What is your favourite movie of all time?
There are so many great movies. Here are some of my favorites: Scarface, Old School, Goodfellas, A few good men, The Fugitive, Schindler's list, Wedding crashers and my favorite romantic comedy of all time: Notting Hill
What do you eat before a game?
It all depends on the time of the game. In 2010, we usually played our home games at 2:30pm. In this case, I was having breakfast around 9:30am: three eggs with a whole wheat bagel. Later in the day, I also have a coffee and a muffin as well as a banana. I usually have a coffee on the way to the stadium with a snack. If we play at night, then I will have the same type of breakfast and around five hours prior to the game, I will have grilled chicken with penne pasta with olive oil on top. As most of my teammates can attest to, I am extremely superstitious and I don't change around my routines.
According to you, Montreal is a great place for its…
1-Restaurants: There are so many great restaurants and so much variety to choose from.
2-People: I think the people in Montreal are great. There is so much diversity which makes for a great mix of different cultures. I think that the people here know how to live and enjoy life and it creates such a great vibe in and around the city.
3-Teams and sports: The passion that the fans show for the three professional teams in Montreal shows just how much each team means to the city. There is also the F1 Grand prix, which is a huge event here and attracts tons of tourists and tons of good attention to our city. We also have the annual Tennis tournament at the Uniprix stadium, which is always packed.
What’s your cheesy side?
Long walks on the beach... Just kidding!!! I would say that my cheesy side is enjoying romantic comedies that have a feel good ending.
Who is your role model or inspiration in your life?
There are two soccer players that I have always admired and looked up to: Ryan Giggs and Paolo Maldini. Giggs has played for Manchester United his whole career and is still playing at the age of 37. Maldini played his entire career for AC Milan and retired at the age of 40. They are great examples of what it means to be a true professional and have been such great role models for kids. They have won an abundance of trophies yet never let the success get to their head and always maintained the highest level of ambition. In my opinion, they are two of the greats in the game and are the true definition of a legend. And also my parents. They brought me up the right way and instilled the right values in me. They have shown unconditional love and support throughout my career and for that, I thank them.
What are your biggest accomplishments?
1-Winning two playoff championships with the Impact in 2004 and 2009.
2-Advancing to the CONCACAF Champions league quarterfinal and playing in front of 55,571 fans at the Olympic Stadium
3-Representing Canada at all the different youth levels and being capped 12 times for the senior team. It is always a great honor to represent my country.
Who eats the most on the team?
Matt Jordan. He always has food in his mouth. Before practice, after practice, at the airport, on the airplane, on the bus… Anytime I turn around, he is eating!
What is your favorite winter sport?
I don’t like winter. I try to stay indoors as much as possible. I enjoy watching hockey. Go Habs Go!!!
If you could play in any stadium in the world, which one would it be?
Old Trafford!!!
