Georgia Generals
February 28, 2014
The Georgia Generals were a One-Year Wonder in the 2nd Division American Soccer League, playing in the summer of 1982. The Generals played in the Atlanta suburb of DeKalb. The Generals sought to fill the pro soccer void in greater Atlanta after the big budget Ted Turner-owned Atlanta Chiefs of the North American Soccer League went out of business in September 1981. Former Chiefs manager David Chadwick hired on as head coach of the Generals and the roster featured several other Chiefs’ refugees, including goalkeeper Graham Tutt.
