Boston Bulldogs
The Boston Bulldogs were a short-lived lower-division American pro soccer side that played in suburban Framingham, Massachusetts from 1999 through 2001. The team served as a farm club of Major League Soccer’s New England Revolution. Former Scottish international Steve Nicol, who won England’ Football of the Year award with Liverpool in 1988-89, was the Bulldogs player-manager. The money-bleeding professional club disbanded following the 2001 season and transitioned its business activities towards an elite youth soccer academy that became known as Mass Premier Soccer.
