It's great to see Tab back out on the field. We missed him
and wish him the best of luck.
John meets and is fully supported by another of his idols, Jack Lelane.
Thanks for your support. As you can see, we are now front
page news in Britain.
My favorite soccer player and friend Batistuta pictured looking at the 2000 WOS calendar. He will now bring his scoring skills to Roma. We wish him the best of luck and he deserves a championship

John's first opportunity to witness the great Pele. Santos vs AC Milan at Yankee Stadium NY 1966
John and his great friend from the German Hungarians of Queens NY-Warner Roth, Captain of the USA National team, Captain of New York Cosmos, Hall of Fame.
Long before Lothar Matthaus came to the NY Metro Stars, John is seen having a toast with Matthaus' agent. Also seated at the table are the Dynamic Duo Charlie and Leandro Stilliatano, Frank Spotino and star of International Yugoslav
ian National Team--Sasha.
Seven years before the first US Women's Olympic soccer team, John created the SST's and was the first celebrity to promote Women's Soccer. The Soho News was one of the many top newspapers in NYC to put women's soccer on the cover, and the year was 1978. John and Janet's dream to have women's soccer in the Olympics, was then something that many were laughing at. In 1985 the United States Soccer Federation began their program to support the development of the National Team for women. We have come a long way from 25 years ago on the dirt fields of Central Park. Can we get our second Gold Medal in a row! Why not, we have worked hard for it.
WOS girl Elpida is now a major model in Europe. John would love to receive input from you to establish this forum. He hopes to create a fun and informative environment where he can share
with, and show his appreciation for his many fans.
