SITUATION
A Canadian Captain & English Football Legend
English professional footballer David Edgar is a Canadian legend. His first pitch experience was lacing up for Newcastle within the toughest premier league to defend the likes of Cristiano Renaldo and Wayne Rooney. With the city in a rally for the Canada Games, and an injury sidelining David at home, the star and the community were together again for some grassroots moments.
