A generation ago soccer was a game for immigrants. St. Patricks was the Irish team. When I shot this photo there was no more than a handful of Americans playing in Portland's only league. There were four teams. All play was at Delta Park. I never had much luck getting the Oregonian, Portland's daily newspaper, to run my photos or give me any work. But this photo they ran. Paid me $10. I once sold them a great photo of basketball star Bill Walton and they ran it with another photographer's name on it.
