Former captains Paul Stalteri, Amy Walsh named to Canada Soccer Hall of Fame
Former Canada captains Paul Stalteri and Amy Walsh are the latest additions to the Canada Soccer Hall of Fame.
The 39-year-old Stalteri, the first Canadian to score in the Bundesliga, blazed a soccer trail that took him to England as well as Germany. A native of Brampton, Ont., the forward-turned-fullback retired in 2013 as Canada’s most capped player (84), a record subsequently eclipsed by Julian de Guzman (89).
Walsh, a Montreal-born midfielder, won 102 caps for Canada between 1998 and 2009.
“Definitely an honour,” Stalteri said of his call to the Hall.
