- Background Story: Huckerby is from England where the seasons tend to be cool and rainy during soccer season. However, he seems to have settled into the San Diego area - “I love the lifestyle here, and that’s the big difference, even if it is hard training in 90-degree heat…You are not limited by the weather at all. I don’t get stuck in my apartment watching TV; it’s a great outdoor lifestyle.”
