One of Toronto FC’s most loyal fans hasn’t seen an MLS match in years.

No TV highlights. No radio. Very little, if any, Internet streaming.

Living in Myanmar, he even warned he “had to be careful” what he said due to recent military rule, a statement he later clarified was fabricated, as far as we knew.

Glenn Toering-Boyes is, as he described it, attempting to be a TFC supporter in a nation that’s stuck in the early 1990s — before Major League Soccer’s inaugural season.

The once-reclusive southeast Asian nation, until recently, was North Korea-like in its restrictions — which makes following MLS from that far away a near impossibility.

“Trying to get the details as to what really happened in games is difficult,” Toering-Boyes told the Toronto Sun this week from his apartment in Yangon, where his wife works for a small NGO.

The 60-year-old grandfather, formerly of Waterloo, Ont., has a different Matchday — well, bedtime — routine then every other TFC supporter.

After all, Myanmar is roughly 10 hours ahead of North America’s eastern time zone.

“Most of the time I’m sleeping during the games,” Toering-Boyes explained.

“I’ll have my phone beside the bed. If I wake up early, I’ll look at the score (on my phone).”

That habit, he said, has led to a number of sleepless nights.

Following the Reds has been stressful for everyone involved — especially when all you can do is follow games via Twitter updates.

“I’ll try and go back to sleep after seeing the score. But sometimes it’s like, ‘How could they dare lose another one?’ ”

Adding salt to the wound the last few seasons has been TFC’s payroll, one that makes it one of the league’s richest teams.

News of TFC’s expenditures arrived on that side of the planet early last year without a peep from Toering-Boyes.

The noise Toronto FC made ahead of the 2014 campaign was heard all the way around the world.

“Amazingly they all knew about The Big Bloody Deal last year,” Toering-Boyes said of Jermain Defoe, TFC’s marquee signing in 2014. “Everyone over here knew, the locals and ex-pats that we run into.”

When he dons his white TFC kit, some take pause.

“They all say, ‘Oh, Toronto, that’s where Defoe was.”

Not anymore, though. Now whenever MLS is mentioned around soccer circles in Myanmar it’s about the other European stars who are beginning to venture over.

Those really tuned into the European game — mostly ex-pats, according to Toering-Boyes — knew about TFC’s Benoit Cheyrou before most Reds’ fans had time to Google his name.

“We talk about the European guys that are coming across to MLS,” he added, saying he also serves as somewhat of an MLS educator.

“I talk about it being good football. It’s a young league but a growing league. I talk to them about the travel. It’s a hard one for them to understand. In Myanmar, you can fly across the country in two and half hours.”

Back home in Ontario, Toering-Boyes has something of a cult following on social media.

To many TFC fans, he’s that long lost Canadian who, for whatever reason, lives in one of the most obscure places on earth.

“Most of them have never met me in my life,” Toering-Boyes said.

He pops up from time to time to remind fans he’s there, following along with everyone else, looking at every TFC result.

And any other Canadian soccer result, for that matter.

When Myanmar shocked Asia by qualifying for this summer’s FIFA men’s under-20 World Cup, Toering-Boyes turned his attention to Canada, who entered qualifying with lofty expectations.

The hope, Toering-Boyes said, was that Myanmar and Canada might meet in the under-20 event in New Zealand this June.

“It would have been nice if Myanmar and Canada ended up in the same group at the World Cup, but Canada let two games go by and didn’t qualify.”

Until recently, watching soccer at all in Myanmar was a bit of a rarity. The national team was only recently reinstated by FIFA.

“They’ve had sanctions due to fan violence,” Toering-Boyes added. “A lot of their home games had to be played in surrounding countries.”

Finding out when Myanmar’s full national team plays is as difficult as, well, trying to watch Toronto FC on any given day.

“One of the hardest things is communication to us,” he said. “There’s no strong communication. The way we find out is through locals.

“But they’re all aware of Canada hosting the women’s World Cup.”

Which means soccer on this side of the world could finally make it to Myanmar TV screens — the only thing Toering-Boyes says he’s missing.

“I’d move to Myanmar and retire maybe if they had MLS games on,” he added.

For now, though, this super fan will continue the same routine.

Wake up. Check the phone. Hope for a good result overnight by his hometown club.

At least that’s how it has to be until Myanmar finally upgrades to something faster than the World Wide Web from two decades ago.

And, who knows, maybe he’ll have seen TFC in the post-season by then.
