In our latest edition of Humans of NYCFC, we meet Sean Kiely, President of New York Ramblers.
This is his story...
***
The Ramblers were founded in the Ramble of Central Park in 1980 after an ad was placed in the Village Voice looking for any members of the LGBT community who wanted to play soccer. I think maybe a dozen or so guys met up, and that was the birth of the Ramblers. From there, they just continued to grow by adding more members through word of mouth, through ads. Again this was in the 1980s so it was a very different time.
