Know your Toronto FC 2012 – The A-ceval to D-icoy Guide

Hey handsome... where you been hidin'?



"SIXual Healing" is about to touchdown at BMO Field and with a host of new faces and you need a program! While nowhere near as erotic as a "SIXual Healing" program should be (this is a family website... sort of) we bring you all of the must-know info on your 2012 Reds. Print it up and bring it with you to BMO Field... unless you want to be that person saying "Is that Screech from Saved by the Bell wearing # 2?" Before you put on that commemorative scarf it's time to learn your "Ginga Ninjas" from your "Shrewsbury Squareballers". Ladies and Gentleman, Butty-lovers of all ages.... your 2012 Toronto Eff Cees...
