Three Generations of American Soccer History George Brown and James Brown

Many people think American soccer started with Beckham's arrival, with Messi Mania, or if they're being really generous, Pele and Cruyff and Beckenbauer of the NASL. In this episode, you will learn a very different, and extremely fascination, version through the lens of the Brown family. Interview with James Brown, Author of "Mud, Blood, and Studs" and VP of SASH (Society for American Soccer History) and his father, George Brown, who played for the US in the 1959 Panamerican Games, the American Soccer League of the 1950s, and was on the executive committee of the National Soccer Hall of Fame. George is the son of James "Jim" Brown who played on the 1930 US National Team at the first ever World Cup, and played for Manchester United and Burnley, among other clubs in the UK, throughout the 1930s.
