I just recently had someone post an interview with Jack Webster on Facebook, which I had never seen before. It was a live interview on September 10, 1979 – two days after we won the Soccer Bowl.
There was myself Bobby Lenarduzzi, John Craven, Trevor Whymark and Ray Lewington after beating the Tampa Bay Rowdies in the final and coming home to well over 100,000 people for our parade to Robson Street. Why do I bring this up? Because it’s the first time I remember being asked if we now needed a new stadium. I know they didn’t build BC Place just for us but that Soccer Bowl win and the turnout for our homecoming was instrumental in the stadium getting built.
