Soccer America May, 21, 1981 Issue

This issue features Tampa Bay Rowdies coach Gordon Jago on the cover. Inside there’s an article on how the Rowdies shipped off popular player Jan Van Der Veen to the California Surf (and the Surf signed Laurie Calloway as new coach). Other Southern California coaching changes include the Los Angeles Aztecs signing Claudio Coutinho. MISL coverage includes the demise of the Chicago Horizon, Kenny Cooper signs an extension with the Baltimore Blast. Michael Lewis writes about the ASL Rochester Flash and there are other ASL notes. Short Passes by Lynn Berling was my favorite section for misc. information on soccer in the USA.
