  • Chapter 6 1976-2004
    PROFESSIONAL SOCCER: FROM THE GOLDEN SPIKERS TO REAL SALT LAKE: 1976 - 2004 Attempts to obtain a professional soccer franchise in Utah date back to the late 1960s, and the fortunes of Utah teams have risen and fallen with the national pro soccer leagues. After the exciting finale to the 1966 World Cup, American investors attempted to start a pro soccer league in the U.S., but the effort foundered after only a short time. 20 The first try at bringing pro soccer to Utah was in 1976, when the American Soccer League awarded a franchise to Salt Lake City, which put together a team called the Golden Spikers. The main force behind the Golden Spikers was a Greek businessman, George Brokalakis--also a sponsor for Hellas--who asked a number of local players, including Gus Colessides, as well as some of the BYU players such as Cres MacTavish and Dee Benson, to sign on for promises of a spot on a pro team when the Golden Spikers took off. There was no pay, since the team was just starting out, but Gus and the other players were anxious to get in on the ground floor. After a debut game at Rice Stadium on the University of Utah campus that was attended by 8,000 fans, the Golden Spikers seemed to be off to a good start. As it turned out, however, the only reason so many people came to the opening game was that the tickets were free. When the owners charged for attendance, the numbers dropped to less than 1000.

  • The History of Soccer in Utah
    “THE FORWARDS DARTED LIKE FLASHES” THE HISTORY OF SOCCER IN UTAH by Roy Webb Copyright 2007 All rights reserved For educational use only. Not to be reproduced or sold without express written permission of author. 2 INTRODUCTION Like most Americans, if I thought about soccer—which was very seldom—I thought that it was a “foreign” game, that had only come to this country in the 1970s with Pele‟. Football, baseball, and basketball, those were American games. Upon reading the book Soccerhead: An accidental journey into the heart of the American game1, by Jim Haner, however, I realized how wrong I‟d been. As he states, soccer is “...not a foreign game after all, … it belongs to us by birthright, we owned it a long time ago, before we started forgetting everything we ever knew about our own history.” [p. 20] This collective amnesia about the history of soccer is as true in Utah as it is in the rest of the country, for I found a curious thing as I started to research this history: if you look at any history of Utah, even a history of sports, soccer seemingly does not exist. Noted Utah sports historian Dr. Larry Gerlach of the University of Utah claims little knowledge of Utah soccer history. Likewise, histories of communities in Utah such as Eureka, in Juab County never even mention soccer, focusing instead on baseball teams. Yet as will be seen, Eureka was a powerhouse of soccer in the early 1900s and teams from there won the state championship on a number of occasions.
