The original ‘Quakes were part of a major expansion of the NASL in 1974 that also saw the formation of the Seattle Sounders and Vancouver Whitecaps clubs. The ‘Quakes were the toast of the league that summer. English forward Paul Child won the golden boot with 15 goals and 6 assists. At the box office, San Jose set a new league attendance record.
The Long Island-based New York Arrows were the original dynasty franchise in the sport of indoor soccer in the United States. One of six founding franchises in the Major Indoor Soccer League in 1978, the Arrows won the first four MISL championships from 1979 to 1982. The team was virtually unbeatable during this stretch, posting a regular season record of 114-26 with a star-studed roster that included all-time greats Steve Zungul and Branko Segota along with ex-New York Cosmos goalkeeper Shep Messing.
