Toye Pioneered Soccer Boom Fronted by Pele in U S
AP Special Correspondent Will Grimsley profiles Clive Toye, the Cosmos executive who championed soccer in the United States by bringing Pele to the NASL. From a tiny league with five teams and 1,500 fans to an 18-team circuit drawing millions, Toye recalls his eight-year push, Pele’s $4.7 million contract, and the Meadowlands crowds of 77,000 and 76,000. He leaves Cosmos to lead the Chicago Sting as the sport continues to grow.
