6 Chronicle/Summer 1981 Brian Budd: Superathlete

Viveca Ohm

think I'm capable of scoring 15 to 20 goals in a season. It'd be fantastic, the most ever by a North American "Iplayer. " "I can score with both feet. I'm greased lightning, nobody faster." "They love me in Ireland. The only guy that's larger than me is the Pope." If you're a soccer aficionado and a hometown booster, you probably have no trouble matching the quotes with the name. But as a dyed-in-the-wool arts type, as clued-out on the sports circuit as they come, my first reaction is who is Brian Budd and why is he saying those wonderful things about himself? An old sports column calling him "the happy extrovert from Ladner" doesn't really take me very far. But as I delve through a growing pile of clippings and press releases, the truth begins to dawn. Here is a hero I've somehow missed, all the more intriguing on the hero market for having been spurned and misunderstood by coaches and thick-headed fans alike. Consider this. Brian Budd, BPE'76, plays for the Vancouver Whitecaps for four years, during most of which he is either kept on the bench or his buoyant spirits booed *'»*«- •; » :'.rjrW- •••'•*•* from the stands.

How can he score those 15-20 goals when he hardly ever gets to play? Does someone have it in for him? Meanwhile, Budd has entered Canadian Superstars, a good, no one gets to be World Superstar a fourth time, nationally televised sports extravaganza in which athletes them's the rules. Once more our hero is victimized by compete in a number of events like swimming, tennis, klutzes. rowing, but not in their own field. Freed from any soccer But wait. Who are those throngs of people out there with expectations, Brian easily takes the Canadian championship. autograph pads, television mikes, book offers, talk show Then he goes on to the World Superstars (for there is one of invitations? Whole new vistas open up. Who really needs those too, in the Bahamas) where he sets new records in soccer now? gymnastics, the 100-yard swim and the half-mile run, walks I meet Brian Budd on one of his whirlwind visits to his old off with $39,000 and the World Superstar-ship. west coast stomping grounds. It is a whirlwind meeting from That was in 1977-78. The next year he does the same which I emerge with eyes glazed and head spinning. Budd is thing again. And the year after too. Now he's up to $50,000 on a tight schedule, has squeezed me in between a couple of and a 58-point victory, a new high in World Superstars. But other appointments in a pub lounge. Is that why he talks so something happens. The U.S. television network in its fast? No, apparently he's famous for his torrential wisdom decides that three times is enough. The guy is too outpourings. Chronicle/Summer 1981 7 the Whitecaps, the Colorado Caribou, and the Toronto Blizzard, Budd got traded to Houston last year and finally had a chance to show what he could do. "I had a whale of a season and never missed a minute of any game." With the Houston team folding, Brian has to decide whether to play soccer or stick with television. "TV is a lot less strenous, they're paying me for it and I've only got to wear out two or three pair of lips each day, and that's me finished." In the past year-and-a-half there've been talk shows and guest appearances, commentating soccer games and color commentating for the Superstars in Canada, Ireland and the U.K., and the "World." Less sedentary is an annual stint on Survival of the Fittest, an adventure show that calls for scaling mountains and swimming raging rivers as fast as you possibly can. At 29, Brian is in no danger of being a terminal jock. Apart from television, he has a book coming out this fall. "It's a got a working title like 'An Executive Guide to Fitness.' It has everything you ever wanted to know about A man of many talents, Brian Budd, at the 1979 World sports from how to cure a hangover to how to do sit-ups to Superstars competition, where he won the half-mile race, take weight off your stomach, which is a basic fallacy. I gymnastics and rowing. wrote it in seven weeks, writing all night sometimes....the book's been backed already by one of the best orthopedic surgeons in Canada. What else would you like to know?

He is a Big Brother, an honorary chairman for the too seriously. I mean, don't get me wrong, the Worlds is a Special Olympics for Ontario and is involved in VOICE, a serious thing, but I figure if you know your stuff you can teaching project for the hearing impaired. afford to relax and enjoy, which is what I did.

At five he was believed to have leukemia. When he was a teen-ager, on a hunting trip, a friend's shotgun exploded in his face, blinding him for two weeks. At a UBC party, a man on drugs attacked him and slashed his throat with a knife. With 30 stitches from ear to ear, Budd was convinced he was going to die, but remembers feeling "I had to come back that much stronger and more determined." When you're living in perpetual overdrive, a lot of things become child's play. Like playing the last 16 minutes of a soccer game with a broken leg. Or running to the top of a 30-story building to settle a $1000 bet by Herb Capozzi and a friend. When Cappozzi and friend stepped out ofthe elevator at the top after 2:37 minutes, Brian met them there. Growing up in Delta, the only boy in a family of four kids, Budd was always attracted to sports, even if some of them were a bit unorthodox. He and his friends used to have foot races along the bottom of an eight-foot deep slough. They would put large rocks under their arms and hold their breaths. But Budd didn't get serious about soccer until his third year at UBC. An early coach told him he'd never be a good soccer player, and others have since agreed. He is still out to prove them wrong. After humdrum-to-disastrous stints with 8 Chronicle/5_mm_r 1981 'ftf v^i^S^"

The many age-blackened, stone buildings, the narrow, cobblestoned and lantern-lit streets, vaudeville cafes and below-street-level coffeehouses, street car rides, ancient cathedrals and clocks, palaces, and cabarets provided endless distraction. "The palace garden party given in our honor was a real eye-opener," remembers Thelma Mahon Cornwall, BA'30, who still has her gold medal, postcards, linen and special china-piece souvenirs.

In 1967 the Thunderbirds won a silver medal in the Canada Winter Games and since then have been consistent contenders in their intercollegiate division, winning the Canada West championship twice, both times being knocked out in the national semi-finals by the University of Toronto. Football, which had seen more than its share of hard times, particularly after Frank Gnup's vintage years in the early Sixties, began under coach Frank Smith to enjoy a powerful renaissance in the mid-Seventies. The Thunderbirds won the Hardy Cup, symbolic of supremacy in western intercollegiate football, in 1976 and again in 1978, when the Birds played in the National College Bowl final, losing to Queen's. More important: in the past three years the Birds have won two out of three in the revived Shrum Bowl against Simon Fraser University. But more than anything else, the Seventies were golden years for track and field at UBC.
