Portland Timbers (1989-1990)
October 20, 2018
The 1989-1990 Portland Timbers of the Western Soccer League were the first of several efforts to revive the name, logo and colors of the original Timbers (1975-1982) of the North American Soccer League. The club’s top player was 19-year old goalkeeper Kasey Keller, who won the Western Soccer League’s Most Valuable Player Award as a teenager on an amateur contract during the 1989 season. This version of the Timbers went out of business in 1990 after two seasons of play.
