From 1970s Soccer USA
NASL Action: Portland Timbers midfielder tries to elude Washington Diplomats midfielder Gary Darrell at Civic Stadium.
This shot was probably taken in the 70’s considering John Bain was a Timber from 1978-1982. Gary Darrell was a Diplomat from 1978-1980. I could be from 1980, but odds are it’s from the 70’s.
Update: Original source found. This is a 1978 photo by Donald Wilson as seen on the Oregonian.
The pitch looks like carpet on concrete.
From a 2015 interview on Timbers.com.
A Timbers Ring of Honor inductee in 2011, midfielder John Bain is the alltime Timbers career leader in goals (45), assists (55) and points across all eras. A native of Falkirk, Scotland, Bain made 148 league appearances for the Timbers in the North American Soccer League (NASL) from 1978-1982 and has been a fixture in the Portland soccer community since 1989 as a well-regarded coach at the high school and youth club ranks.
