In part two, we discuss the next wave of soccer in the 1950s and 60s, which would lay the foundation for the city’s first professional soccer franchise, the Atlanta Chiefs.
In this bonus episode, an epilogue to our first two, we take a moment to remember Dick Cecil, president of the Atlanta Chiefs soccer club, who passed away in August.
We cover the launch of the club, their debut at Atlanta Stadium and the 1968 team that won the NASL championship, which gave the city its first title won by a professional sports team.
