Can someone confirm if Theodore's background is Greek or Portuguese?


If so, do you have some substantiating proof.

I think he is Shakinese (Shaky Knees?). Sorry, lame joke

No proof, but his stepfather is from a people, the Skopianos, who span part of Greece and Macedonia in the former Yugoslavia (the Macedonian capital is Skopia). The Greeks don't consider them Greek, however, and don't treat them with very much respect. I'm getting that part from my wife, who is also of the same descent.

So I guess it's whether you consider Step as counting, and Skopianos as Greek

As far as I know, Ribeiro is the only Portuguese hab (and the first one ever, too)

Hey Brooklynhabfan .... I really like your sign (Hab eating up Leafs) ... Where do you have it from? I would like to post it on the Swiss Fan board of my favourite club back home.
