John “Lindy” Lindstrom

John Lindstrom, known
throughout the club as “Lindy,”
has been with the club for over a
decade (somewhere between 13
and 15 years).
He has played for most of
the teams, and this year he can
be seen wearing Burke’s Irish
Castle’s purple. He has played
every position throughout his
years in the club, and he happily
plays any position (excluding
goalie).
To get ready for a game,
he stretches, hydrates, and
focuses on the opponent. Lindy
first heard about the club from
Steve Gilson and Foxy, people he played indoor soccer with. When asked his favorite memory of the
club he had two: meeting his wife, Rebecca Russell, and being on the first undefeated team his rookie
year.
While away from the pitch, Lindy does “what any red-blooded male does: cooking and
gardening.” Lindy’s favorite sponsor to go to is the Milwaukee Ale House in downtown Milwaukee. His
favorite thing about Milwaukee is that it has all of the aspects of a large city, yet it is small enough
that he runs into someone he knows every time he is out and about. Although Lindy isn’t currently
playing any other sports, he does play soccer and hockey, and would love to try rugby, lacrosse, and
competitive ballroom dancing.
Lindy is also one of our medical volunteers. Make sure you thank him (and all the other medical
volunteers) for everything he does each week! Lindy says, “I really like sandwiches. Not as much as
Ryan Brown does, but I really like sandwiches.”
