In the past six months, the Dayton Dutch Lions of the USL-Pro league and Toronto F.C. of MLS have become well-acquianted with one another. In fact, it could be said that Toronto F.C. may be enamored with the Dutch style.. And even that this fascination started with meeting the Dutch Lion owners, Dutch Lion Head Coach Sonny Silooy, and watching the Dutch Lions in July and culminated in signing a Head Coach/Technical Director in Aron Winter today who is not much different at all from Dutch Lions former Head Coach Sonny Silooy.

The Dayton Dutch Lions already have one sister club in Dutch champions F.C. Twente. The Dutch Lions might be going for the partnership treble this offseason... Yesterday the Dutch Lions announced a partnership with a very successful PDL club- the Baton Rouge Capitals.

Clarence Seedorf's Cousin Tries Out For Dutch Lions

One of the featured players by Radio Netherlands was Regillio Seedorf, newphew of famous Dutch, A.C. Milan player Clarence Seedorf. The 21 year old Regillio hasn't had as remarkable of a career as his cousin yet, with only stops in the Second Division of Belgium and the Netherlands. But, with a nice goal strike at the end of this video, who knows his career might take off stateside starting with the Dayton Dutch Lions

3/16/2010: DDL F.C. Defender Kyle Segebart Interview

9:40 PM Reporter: Ryan Kozlowski 0 Responses

The Orange Legionnaire discusses with Kyle his career before DDL F.C., his decision to go with the Dayton Dutch Lions over other PDL teams, how he somehow had a successful tryout while playing with a broken ankle, how Kyle learned about the tryout, what player is he most like or aspires to be like, his best moment as a fan of soccer, his musical tastes/playlist, his favorite supermodel, and finally his goals for the 2010 season with the Dayton Dutch Lions.

The overall podcast is pretty good but we really get rolling from the 8th minute on into some great stuff. Also, I find some of the stories of Kyle and some of the other American players that I have talked to even more interesting than the more broadcasted stories of the big time professionals because there are some crazy stories, some crazy traveling, and a real love of the game there. I'll try to hit more of these sort of stories with some of the other Dayton Dutch Lion players over the season.

Kyle was a good sport and a lot of fun to interview. So, here it is:

Opening up the Orange Legionnaire Podcast tonight with a chat with DDL F.C. defender Kyle Segebart

I'll have a podcast chat up at around 10 p.m. tonight with Dayton Dutch Lions F.C. local defender Kyle Segebart. Segebart is a local player from Cedarville, Ohio who went to and played for Northmont High School and also played for local Cedarville University. Segebart also played for Rio Grande University, Shorter College, and also the Cincinnati Kings of the PDL last season. Segebart was a defensive starter for the Kings last season and was a PDL player of the week before.

To get to know a little more about Kyle here's a good article on him from the Dayton Daily News.

I'll be looking to do these sort of chats with multiple players on the season so that the fans can get to know them a bit better. I'll be asking about their career before DDL F.C., what it feels like to play for DDL F.C., and some amusing questions such as if the fans had to do a chant after you, what would it be? I'm also looking into live chat possibilities in the future. So tune in.
