HFX Wanderers midfielder Elton John ‘trying to make a name for myself’ Globe_Sports
Elton John poses with eight-year-old Kyriakos Theoharopoulos at a HFX Wanderers FC autograph signing in Halifax on March 20, 2019.HFX Wanderers FC boasts the biggest name in the Canadian Premier League even if the fame has to be shared.“I get that a lot,” he said. “I got that a lot as a kid growing up. It’s OK with me now.“It’s easy for me to get in the spotlight if I really think about it. I’m kind of piggybacking off his name. But it’s two different characters. He’s a great singer, obviously.
The Trinidad connection is strong on the Halifax team thanks to Trinidad-born head coach Stephen Hart, who has coached both the Canada and Trinidad national teams. Wanderers assistant coach Derek King was part of Hart’s coaching staff in Trinidad and was a club coach.John won league and cup titles with Williams at Trinidad’s Central FC, also winning titles with North East Stars FC – where he was captain under King and played with Garcia —and San Juan Jabloteh FC.
“I basically won everything in my country, in the league that I played so I was up for a new challenge,” he said, when asked about the move to Canada.
