'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[Craitland|Craitish]] former-[[wikipedia:association football|footballer]] who last played for [[Osĵätoņ Aztecs FC]], with whom he spent his entire professional career. Renowned for his boisterous style, Demo gained 21 international caps and played exclusively as a [[wikipedia:Defender (association football)|left-sided winger]]. He is a member of Craitland's "[[Golden Generation (Craitland)|Golden Generation]]".

==Career==
===Club===
At the age of 24, Demo signed with Osĵätoņ Feyenoord FC&mdash;as [[Osĵätoņ Aztecs FC]] were then known&mdash;ahead of the [[2003 CrFA League 1|first]] [[CrFA League 1]] season in 2003 to begin his professional career. Immediately established as the club's starting left-winger, wearing an unconventional number 6, Demo was an integral part of the teams which sealed domestic silverware success in his early seasons, with a [[King's Cup]] in [[2004 King's Cup|2004]] preceding back-to-back league titles in [[2005 CrFA League 1|2005]] and [[2006 CrFA League 1|2006]]. The team also made a second cup final in [[2005 King's Cup|2005]]; the run to which Demo scored in against [[Sverige Tiem FC]] in the semi-final, but lost to [[Cherry Trees FC]]. A [[2007 King's Cup|third cup final]] brought another triumph, however, with a victory in 2007 for the club's, and Demo's, second.

While the [[2008 CrFA League 1|2008 season]] saw a poor Aztecs finish a then-record-lowest third, even with Demo's continued presence, the side regained their league title [[2009 CrFA League 1|the following year]]. During 2009 and [[2010 CrFA League 1|2010]], Demo faced stiffer competition for his starting position down the left following the acquisition of [[Tellia]]'s [[François Germaine]], before his departure. As the Aztecs struggled to challenge for trophies at this point in their history, Demo's game time was limited further with the return of [[Jón Zyxveldtsen]] ahead of the [[2011 CrFA League 1|2011 campaign]]. With Zyxveldtsen installing himself in the starting line-up, coupled with his own advanced age, Demo retired in the summer of 2011 just shy of his 33rd birthday and having won five domestic titles.

===International===
Demo's international career with [[Craitland national football team|Craitland]] began in 2006, when he was called-up for the squad for the [[2006 FMF World Cup|inaugural]] [[FMF World Cup]]. As the team's first-choice left-winger, Demo started all of their games as they advanced to the quarter-finals before losing on penalties to [[Nova England national football team|Nova England]], with Demo taking and missing Craitland's first spot kick. Demo continued as an international regular throughout the qualifying rounds for the [[2007 FMF World Cup]], and maintained his starting position in the finals as the Craits won their first ever world title. Demo missed-out on the [[2007 EMU Championships|EMU 2007]] squad later in the year, with [[Markko Edmildón]] taking his place after a successful club season.

Edmildón impressed in Demo's absence and established himself as a starter in the [[2008 FMF World Cup|2008 World Cup]], with Demo utilised as a substitute throughout the team's second victory. Demo continued to deputise for Edmildón the following year, being included in both the [[2009 EMU Championships|EMU 2009]] and [[2009 FMF World Cup|World Cup]] squads, with the team finishing second and third, respectively. Despite still playing regularly domestically, Demo was overlooked for the national team's training squad in the summer of 2010, and subsequently was not involved in [[2010 FMF World Cup|that year's World Cup]], with [[Lydveldt Loresen]] gaining a first call-up in his place. Demo retired from playing in the summer of 2011 having earned 21 caps and scoring once.
