The best thing about the NASL was the Strikers-Rowdies rivalry (F Rodney Marsh!)
Hah! I remember playing against some of the old Rowdies during my time in the Suncoast amateur league in the late 80’s. I remember my coach seeing Paul Roe and Steve Wegerle, and the beat up car they drove up in for the game and him saying: “Is that all The Rowdies could do for you?”
