Description

Relive the magic of the Portland Timbers’ 1975 season and the birth of Soccer City, USA.

On this fast moving account, Michael Orr weaves in combination player interviews, news coverage, and game statistics to capture the Timbers’ single-season journey from expansion team to championship contender. From the primary televised game against Pele’s New York Cosmos to the seven-game winning streak that vied for a league record and the post-season battle for the sport’s absolute best prize, rediscover how, in just four months, the Timbers won the hearts of Portlanders and left an indelible stamp at the Rose City’s wearing landscape.
