Soccer Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies: Oneonta, NY 10/14/02

[DaveBrett]

I'll be going to the Soccer Hall of Fame Induction this year. It is in Oneonta, New York on October 14, 2002. Is anyone going?

Vladislav Bogicevic of the New York Cosmos is going to be inducted. I have so many NASL videotapes that I offered to make a highlight tape of Bogey's best goals. The Hall of Fame is excited about the tape. They are going to show it at the banquet the night before the ceremony.

I believe I saw Bogicevic play at Wrigley Field against the Chicago Sting in July, 1981. Giorgio Chinaglia also played on that great Cosmos team. Chinaglia was stopped on the last NASL-style PK for a Sting victory. A thrilling experience.

Any Cosmos fan knows him as "Bogey". "Bogey to Cabanas...back to Bogey....finds Chinaglia...Chinaglia, Chinaglia, Chinaglia....goal!!!!!!!!"

Those were the days!

And where is Jim Karvalles these days?

[DaveBrett]

I spoke to Jim several months ago. He is doing fine. He is semi-retired, and living in Florida.

"Kaaaahhhhsmos Soccer"
That's Jim Karvallas.

Dave - when will you be getting inducted?

[DaveBrett]

Nancy, you are too kind. I just sent you a private message.

Alas, I don't expect to get inducted. I consider myself lucky if the Soccer Hall of Fame returns my phone calls.
