| I was in Reston last week at North Point Shopping Center, near Lake Newport Park, this was about 1pm. We ran into someone that said they were a coach. We did not catch his name or club. I can only describe him as ~5' 9", Medium build, getting a little round in the middle (guessing 190#), scruffy salt and pepper beard/stache and hair, slight gap in front teeth, british accent. He was wearing black joggers and black warm up jacket. Does this description sound like any coach you know? |
| Last week being 8 May |
| Sir Alex Ferguson, he often goes on holiday to Lake Anne in Reston. |
Is this him? His teams would get crushed in ECNL girls. It’s that tiki-taka stuff...never works a top league like ECNL or against good athletes. Do not let the accent fool you. |
That would be the worst English accent ever LOL |
He thinks a bad English accent will give him credibility with the parents. The accent is so bad it’s like it’s Spanish or something. Any top team travel parent knows more about travel soccer then he ever would. Do not sign your kid up with his program. If you do your kid will never play in college...even d3. It’s the kiss of death. |
| Yep he use to work at Barca. Maybe they are trying to get him back? It would explain why he is in the area. |
| Richie Burke? |
Nah Richie is 220 easy. |
| Not Richie, I know him and his son. This guy was a kids coach. But, similar build to Richie, just not as big in the middle, straighter hair also. I think more gray than what Richie has IIRC. |
I’ll ask... what did he say or do to make you track him down? |
| Is this a “missed connection”? Are you looking for a date? |
This guy?
