Las Vegas Quicksilvers 1977

This Inaugural (and only) season Las Vegas Quicksilvers media guide is in very good condition.

“The Quicksilvers finest moment came in their home opener at Las Vegas Stadium on April 9th, 1977. The team faced the NASL’s glamour club, the New York Cosmos.  The match pitted Pele of the Cosmos against the Quicksilvers’ aging Portuguese superstar Eusebio. Throughout the 1960’s and early 1970’s Pele and Eusebio were considered by many football fans to be the world’s two finest players. By 1977, Pele was in his final season of professional soccer while Eusebio was a shadow of his former self after multiple knee surgeries.  Nevertheless, the match was only the tenth time the two legends had faced each other.
An opening night crowd of 11,896 turned out at Las Vegas Stadium to watch the festivities. Pele knocked Eusebio out of the match with a hard slide tackle in the 38th minute. But the Quicksilvers shocked the Cosmos 1-0 on a goal by Victor Arbelaez.”
