- When Pelé signed for the New York Cosmos in the 1970s, it changed football in America forever. At a time when the sport struggled to compete with baseball and American football, the NASL needed a global superstar and Pelé delivered. His arrival brought packed stadiums, worldwide attention, and helped turn soccer into a must-see spectacle in the United States.
Alongside icons like George Best, who saw the USA as a fresh start, the league embraced a bold new style. Fireworks, cheerleaders, mascots, and family friendly crowds transformed the football experience into pure entertainment. It was a stark contrast to the gritty atmosphere of European football at the time.
By the late 1970s, soccer in the USA was booming. Big names, big crowds, and big ambitions had the NASL dreaming of global dominance. But while the rise was spectacular, the story of Pelé in America is also one of what might have been.

The accent, the brutal honesty, the transfer, not liking Pete McGrath, but later understanding it. Ultra dedication towards winning Sam Maguire, but sitting in the car with a bottle of vodka "60 Halfins between us" Growing up in rural Co Down "Alone but not lonely" helping his younger brother Ronan through cancer, and using that to drive him into the superb footballer he became. His daughter Sorcha is now a double All-Ireland winner with the Cork camogie team and feels right at home at St Finbarr's- the club of the great Jimmy Barry Murphy. “If I had money, I would retire to West Cork” There’s more, like marking Brian McGilligan in the iconic 1994 game against Derry, to living in London and taking F...

Bursting onto the scene in the mid nineties, Kerry seemed a million miles from winning the big prize. Darragh led that change. He defined midfield and for many, is one of the greatest players of all-time. Four All-stars, nine Munster titles and part of what many believe, to be the most famous Gaelic football family in Ireland. His uncle Páidí, an iconic player and manager “I miss him everyday”
Although Darragh rarely does any broadcast interviews, he has a column in the Irish Times and received plenty of push back when he criticised Kerry last year after the Meath game. He also had interesting things to say after the league final with Donegal. He looks at things differently. He believes the Kerry players don’t really care about what...
