I grew up in San Jose where we "packed the pit!"
Crazy George made some kind of awesome appearance each game.
The fans were loyal.
The talent was awful for years, except the days of Paul Child, Steve David and of course Georgie Best.
But then in '83 the team went for it. Zungul, Clavijo, Segota, Ingram and they won every regular season home game. Soccer was electric in SJ then.
The talent was 10x better than MLS is now. I have fond memories of the NASL.
Some well-supported teams I remember:
Tampa Bay Rowdies
New York Cosmos (costs mosts)
Ft. Lauderdale Strikers
Chicago Sting
Vancouver Whitecaps
Seattle Sounders
Portland Timbers
Anyone have a favorite NASL team, memory or player?
