Pictures from Vancouver Whitecaps soccer games at Empire Stadium
1976 — Yesterday the Vancouver Whitecaps soccer team was accepted in the Major Soccer League for the 2011 season. It marks a return to Vancouver of serious soccer not seen since the days of the North American Soccer League in the 1970’s and gives me an excuse to go through my negatives from when I covered NASL games for the Province newspaper. This shot was the NASL picture of the year in 1976.
