Spoke with Birkenmeier tonight for the first time in a while. What a terrific guy and what a world away it seems we are from the Cosmos at Giants Stadium...
[NCR] Bobby Thomson Just found out this very sad news: Bobby Thomson passed away in August. http://www.expressandstar.com/2009/08/20/wolves-legend-thomson-dies-65/ He coached me in Memphis and was a profound influence. Never had a chance as an adult to say thanks.
Re: [NCR] Bobby Thomson Great player. Although he nevever played for the Cosmos to my knowledge.... Here he is playing for the Connecticut Bicentennials in 1977 vs Pele & the Cosmos....
Re: [NCR] Bobby Thomson No, he didn't play for the Cosmos. Thought this thread might reach the most bigsoccer posters who might have known him...
Some Cosmos from the early 1970s, last I checked... Randy Horton is a major government minister in Bermuda. Wilberforce Mfum has a coaching position with the Ghanian Men's National Team (good luck in the African Cup of Nations against Egypt). Where is Barry Mahy? Cheers, Steve
Cruyff did play for the Cosmos on occasion... He actually played for the Cosmos in some friendlies and individual non-NASL matches....
Thanks Giorgio.... Is that really you? If so, remember watching you play when I was 10 years old......The memories are good...Thanks. Did you catch my recent interview with Fabio Capello?
