Captain Atiba Hutchinson is also the only Canadian player who was alive when Canada last made the World Cup in 1986
DOHA, Qatar — Finally at the World Cup, captain Atiba Hutchinson is getting to reap the rewards after 19 years service in a Canadian shirt. And so is Canada.
"I've been with the national team for a very long time and I've never see it get to this level. So it's great to see and I think it's going to continue to get bigger and bigger from here on out." Hutchinson said the 1994 World Cup in the U.S. was the first for him in realizing how big the event was. Since 2013, he has plied his trade in Turkey where he captains Besiktas, whose fans treat him with reverence.
