BUYER BEWARE!

This "rare" New England Tea Men goalie jersey is  currently on Ebay.  It is another fake from a seller who creates these jerseys and tries to pass them of as authentic and rare items.  I just can't sit back and watch this person continue to deceive people.  Let's call it a "public service."

Someone asked me how I knew all the starting line-ups and scores for so many NASL games.  Well, this is it.  This book is out of print and may be available on Amazon or Ebay but be prepared, it can be expensive!

THANK YOU!

This little tribute to the NASL has hit over 25,000 views.  I know that in the world of the "interweb" that isn't much but I really appreciate everyone who has stopped by, contributed, and left comments.  As Mr. Fawlty would say, 

"Thank you so much!"
