Former Canadian international plans next step from aboard his floating home in Spain
Newly retired as a soccer player, former Canadian international Issey Nakajima-Farran is working on his future aboard a boat in Barcelona. It’s his floating home.
He had a chance to play in India and Indonesia but opted to stay in Spain close to his son, who was born in Cyprus while Nakajima-Farran was playing there.“They say after 30, every year is a bonus to enjoy football,” he said. Still, he has fond memories of his time in Malaysia, where he also played for Terengganu FC. It’s where he met his girlfriend Aieva , a graphic artist who is half-Thai and half-Malaysian
He did a painting of Marco di Vaio for the Italian star’s last game with Montreal. His portraits have ranged from Marlon Brando to the Joker. “Birthday surprise!! Wow! Just like that. It’s not right. Surreal. MLSsoccer. Inhumane,” Nakajima-Farran tweeted at the time.“I had my party. But it was more like a goodbye party,” he said.
