It is funny how I stumbled upon him, last night on Gol TV
I was watching the Depor game against Zaragosa (who won in stoppage time to stay in La Liga) 
last night and he stood out, with his Fro and all, and I said hmmm an Arsenal DM ( I am a scout for Big SidEEE!!!) since Flimsy gone.
So I searched the web and low and behold found out his Mother is Jamaican, so I posted (with OJ in mind that he posted about this player but wasnt sure) to hear our comments.
how many degrees of seperation?

If his Father was Jamaican he would be Jamaican.
Position: Defensive Midfielder (central)
Coming from Canada, Julián de Guzmán quickly realized that to become a quality player he needed to move away from Toronto to Europe. Being the eldest son of family with mother coming from Jamaica and father from the Filipinas, sport played an important part at home. His mother was an athlete and his father practised all kind of sports and is a huge fan of local basketball club Toronto Raptors. It’s not surprising that short De Guzmán (168 cm) didn’t have a future in that sport and his father made him, and his younger brother Jonathan, joining local football club North Scarborough.
The turning point for De Guzmán at Depor came when he was included in the starting line-up for the home match against Real Madrid back in January, the team's opening fixture of 2007. De Guzmán started the matches of Depor’s run and was an important part of the team not leaking a goal for 451 minutes in a row. However, Deportivo couldn’t continue this run and finished the season anonymously. Still, De Guzmán made name and was one of the few high lights during the final months of the campaign. De Guzmán himself explained: "The home game against Madrid is when it all changed. It was the coach's last chance' if we would have lost that game he would have been fired so he played his last cards in that game, including me, and came out with the win and we played well”.

Good to know you keep updated, even if you don't post too often in the other forums.
