Philadelphia Fury
The Philadelphia Fury marked the second go round for the North American Soccer League in the City of Brotherly Love. The Fury followed on the heels of the Philadelphia Atoms (1973-1976), who won the league championship as an expansion team in 1973 and became the first NASL team featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated. A handful of popular players from the Atoms era returned, including goalkeeper Bob Rigby and defender Bobby Smith.
