Less about the soccer and more about being a Portland Timbers fan.

The second post of the new era of PTFZine. Here’s Clyde Best with an assist to John Bain and a goal in a match against the Vancouver Whitecaps from 7/26/1980. Gotta love the music in the background, and “…the delicate touch from Best and Bain of Portland.”Happy for the Timbers highlights but I’d also like to see the whole video.

cascadia uploader: These highlights are from the “1980 NASL Goals Of The Year” highlight tape released from the league, and both [at least certainly the Best goal] are from the 5-1 demolition of the Whitecaps from July 26, 1980 at then-Civic Stadium. John Bain had the other goal, Bain had a hat trick and Best had the other two goals and the featured assist. Clyde Best, of course, an early club legend. Played for the Timbers from 1977-81, scoring 38 goals and was probably our best NASL player. Viva Portland & Clyde Best!
