Happy Birthday: Atiba Harris (26)
Whoa whoa! Atiba is not your run of the mill footballers, he is Kittitian! Which for all you uncultured folk, means he is from Saint Kitts and Nevis (located in the West Indies)
I love him for that reason alone! But there is more to him than that.
 |
| beautiful St. Kitts |
He plays forward for the Vancouver Whitecaps, which is a team I love.
 |
| he looks damn good in white |
Atiba is also 6'3" and as I have noted before, I love a tall man.
 |
| taller than this muther |
He was the first St. Kitts player for sign for a Spanish club (Cadiz) in 2004 and with MLS (Real Salt Lake) in the 2006-7 season. He was traded to Chivas USA, and then FC Dallas where he helped the team make it to the MLS Cup final in 2010.

| ab-flash! |
He was selected by Vancouver in the Expansion Draft in November 2010, where he is still playing today.
He has made 25 appearances and 9 goals for the Saint Kitts and Nevis National Team
Fun fact: He is cousins with Micah Richards of Manchester City, whom he saw for the first time in 7 years during the pre-season tour when MANC played Vancouver.
