Bradley grew up in Sunderland, England where he turned professional with the local Sunderland club at age sixteen. However, his career nearly ended just as it was beginning. During a training session, he shattered his right kneecap kicking a ball and it took over two years before he was fit to play again.

It is a volunteer based organization which oversees the senior men’s and women’s national teams for international play, as well as the respective junior sides (U-20 and U-17 for men and women). Internally, it looks over national amateur club championships for both National Senior Men and Senior Women, U-18, U-16 and U-14 (all levels boys and girls). Provincial and municipal associations are responsible for organizing most amateur leagues and refereeing appointments. The founding meeting of the Dominion of Canada Football Association took place on May 24, 1912. The organization joined FIFA in 1913. In 1928, the FA resigned from FIFA until 1946, following the example of British associations in a dispute over broken time payments to amateur players. The Association has hosted three FIFA tournaments, the FIFA U-17 World Cup Canada 1987, the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup Canada 2002, and the FIFA U-20 World Cup Canada 2007. The Association is expected to make a bid for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2015. The Association’s national teams have won eight confederation championships. The |
