PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE For more than 30 years, the Pacific Coast League was the most important soccer league in Canada. From the 1940s through 1960s, the British Columbia-based league featured the nation’s lengthiest and most competitive schedule, Canada’s most successful clubs, and the nation’s biggest stars. The Pacific Coast League crowned champions for 34 successive years from 1939-40 to 1972-73. At its best in the 1950s and 1960s, the league’s all-star teams often provided the best challenge in North America to touring teams from the United Kingdom. The Pacific Coast League also featured the best Canadian talent of any major league in Canada. While the league featured imported players from abroad, the bulk of the players were born and raised in the Pacific Coast League communities. While the Pacific Coast League was “new” in 1939-40, the game itself was in fact old in the province, both on the mainland and on the island. The first Pacific Coast League (or Association as it was known) was established in 1908. There were several stops and starts for the different leagues in the first few decades, with another Pacific Coast League formed in 1925 and then a third reincarnation in 1930. That 1930 rendition lasted four seasons from 1930-31 to 1933-34. That league was replaced by the BC Inter-City League in 1934-35 and then the Vancouver & District Mainland League in 1937-38. NORTH SHORE DOMINANCE When the new Pacific Coast League got underway at old Con Jones Park on 23 September 1939, North Shore United FC were clearly the 4

Pacific Coast Soccer League, 1939 to 1973

PACIFIC COAST

league favourites. The Redshirts did not disappoint in the league opener, with manager Allan MacSween’s men applauded for being “in mid-season form” en route to a 4:2 victory over St. Saviours FC. While Radials had won the 1939 Dominion of Canada Football Championship just two months earlier, the North Shore men had run away with the 1938-39 V & D Mainland Soccer League, the precursor to the new Pacific Coast League.

SEASONS

North Shore United were also only 13 months removed from their own Canadian title in the summer of 1938. At the start of the 1939-40 season, North Shore featured seven national winners in their starting lineup, including all-stars Trevor Harvey and Jimmy Spencer. They also had all-star Norm McLeod, newly acquired from the defunct Westminster Royals who decided not to join the new Pacific Coast League.

LEGENDS

In 1939-40, the new league featured four “returning” teams from the Mainland League plus one newcomer from Vancouver Island. The five-team league planned a 40-match schedule from September until, well, some time in the spring.

FOOTBALLERS

Matches were organised on a week by week basis and, in the end, only 38 matches were played once the league winner was confirmed on 31 July 1940. Alongside league matches, mainland teams also played in the Mainland Cup competition while all five teams played in British Columbia’s Province Cup competition. The five teams in 1939-40 were North Shore United FC, Vancouver Radials FC, Vancouver St. Andrews FC, Vancouver St. Saviours FC, and Victoria FC. Vancouver United and Westminster Royals from the Mainland League did not join the Pacific Coast League.

CLUBS

While North Shore were the favourites, Victoria FC were the league leaders for much of the season. It was only near the end of the campaign that North Shore caught them and won the championship by two points. The Reds clinched the championship on 31 July 1940, the last day of the season. The league prize was $110. 5

Pacific Coast Soccer League

For the first three seasons, the Pacific Coast League featured a straight forward single table race. If you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win the league, you could always win one of the other local competitions. North Shore won both the 1939-40 Pacific Coast League championship and 1940 Mainland Cup while Radials won the 1940 BC Province Cup. For the first time since the First World War, there was no national competition in 1940. The war years, as you could imagine, prompted roster changes throughout the Pacific Coast League. Some players served overseas and left the league altogether. Other players joined the Canadian Forces, but remained stationed in Canada. Football was not the top priority, but it provided an important source of entertainment. Local all-star teams also played fundraising matches for the wartime efforts. Teams typically shared revenue they received from gate receipts, but the league was altogether an amateur league. Players held fulltime jobs, albeit often organised by their clubs. Many players on the national champion Radials, for instance, worked for the British Columbia Electric Company. Teams also received revenue from competitions like the Dominion of Canada Football Championship, but they also had to pay for travel and hotel expenses. In 1939, the Radials reportedly lost $300 in their two-week travel to Edmonton and Winnipeg. In 1940-41, an important agreement between the Pacific Coast League and lower leagues was struck to ensure players could play in multiple leagues. In Vancouver, the Pacific Coast League schedule typically featured Saturday soccer while the lower leagues offered midweek soccer. The new agreement allowed some players to play both Wednesday and Saturday soccer. In the 1940s, only in Nanaimo was the Pacific Coast League allowed to play on Sunday. In 1940-41, Nanaimo City FC were the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only addition, growing the league from five to six teams. 6

PACIFIC COAST

The 1940-41 season ran from October to April, with St. Andrews the new league winners for the MacDonald Cup. Goalkeeper Bobby Newbold led the league with five clean sheets while playing 13 of 15 matches. While John McIntosh led the winners with 12 goals, Ralph Cosier of Victoria United FC lead the league with 18 goals. Spencer of runners up North Shore United finished second with 14 goals.

SEASONS

A young Frank Ambler, who eventually became the third league player to score 100 goals, scored his first career goal during that 1940-41 season for St. Andrews. Fred Whittaker, the first player to reach the milestone, scored his first goal in 1941-42. The St. Saviours rookie went on to win the league scoring title with 11 goals, one better than runner up Spencer of North Shore United.

LEGENDS

Sticking with six teams for the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third season, the Pacific Coast League replaced Nanaimo City FC with Vancouver Kerrisdale. Kerrisdale did only slightly better than Nanaimo City who finished last in 1940-41: the Kerries finished fifth out of six teams in 1941-42.

FOOTBALLERS

The 1942-43 season provided several changes to the Pacific Coast League structure, although the result was the same with North Shore United once again winning the championship. For the first time, the league used a split schedule format in which First Half winners would face Second Half winners in a playoff championship. In the case that the same team won both half seasons, then no playoff would be required.

CLUBS

In 1942-43, the league dropped Victoria United on account that it was too expensive to travel to Vancouver Island. The league also dropped Radials (who ceased operations) and Kerrisdale, but added Boeing FC to set the league at four teams. Boeing were the BC Province Cup winners in 1942 while playing outside the Pacific Coast League. Boeing joined the big league in 1942-43 with returning stars like Frank Ambler and John Webber, 7

Pacific Coast Soccer League but also added young stars like Don Matheson and Jackie Whent. They did well, but finished runners up to league winners North Shore United. The Reds, you see, added returning star Trevor Harvey. The popular centre half actually played the season up front at centre forward, leading the league with 21 goals. Teammate Spencer was the runner up with 13 goals. From 1942-43 to 1944-45, the same four teams made up the Pacific Coast League with a different winner each season. After North Shore United won the championship in 1942-43, Boeing were the next winners in 1943-44 and St. Saviours were the next winners after that in 1944-45. St. Andrews were the only team shut out in those three years, but their time would come. Ahead of the 1943-44 season, the league reported that it was concerned that there might not be enough soccer balls to complete their season. “Patch up your old balls (for training) and we’ll spread what we can get around the best we can for your games. The situation is really serious.” In 1943-44, winners FC Boeing added Bill Smith from the North Shore. Third-place St. Andrews, meanwhile, got Pete Richardson from Pro Recs in the lower leagues. Richardson led the big league in scoring with 18 goals. In 1944-45, St. Andrews picked up Ambler and Wes Henderson from the league winners Boeing, but the Scots still finished third in the league standings. Boeing got centre forward Whittaker for part of the season, but still finished last. St. Saviours won the 1944-45 championship and Joe Jordan (at the time known as Joe Jankovich) was the league leader with 16 goals scored. New additions included teen star Brian Philley and veteran centre forward Hap Smith. Along with Smith, other Dominion winners 8

from the 1930s were Eric Camp, Don Cowan, Jimmy Gemmell, and Jim Lawrie. PACIFIC COAST

The Pacific Coast League’s war years ended with a championship match to close out the 1944-45 season, played at Brockton Point Oval on 8 May 1945. The match was played on the VE Day holiday as World War II drew to a close.

ST. ANDREWS THREE-PEAT SEASONS

The 1945-46 season started with a bit of a bang, as original league secretary-treasurer Jock Henry suddenly announced his resignation at the annual meeting in September 1945. Tommy Nelson stayed on as president while Scotty MacNair, the old Boeing manager, was elected the new secretary-treasurer.

LEGENDS

For the first time since 1941-42, the Pacific Coast League returned to Callister Park (né Con Jones Park) as its home venue. The 1945-46 league opener was played there in front of 2,000 fans on Saturday 29 September, with the eventual league winners St. Andrews the 7:5 victors over the defending winners St. Saviours. Ray Burgess, who joined St. Andrews from Boeing, scored the first hat trick of the season.

FOOTBALLERS

Boeing ceased its football operations, so Kerrisdale were admitted back into the four-team league. They won only one game all season, finishing last with six points from 14 matches. North Shore added former Boeing players Bill Smith and Fred Whittaker, the latter of whom led the 1945-46 season with 25 goals scored. It wasn’t enough: North Shore finished second.

CLUBS

St. Andrews, who added both John Webber and Johnny McKay, won their first of three Pacific Coast League championships. They posted 10 wins, six draws and just two losses in 18 matches. In 1946-47, St. Andrews got even better as they won 16 of 20 league matches. They scored a league record 79 goals and ran away with the Pacific Coast League championship. They also won the 9

Pacific Coast Soccer League 1947 Mainland Cup, the BC Province Cup, and the Dominion of Canada Football Championship. They were easily the best team in Canada. Two big additions were key to the Scots success. Halfback Don Matheson went from North Shore to Kerrisdale to St. Andrews. He scored six goals in St. Andrews’ seven matches after joining the Scots in March. Frank Ambler, meanwhile, was there all season and had the biggest impact of any off-season acquisition. After joining St. Andrews from North Shore United, Ambler scored 33 times, a league record and 20 more than the next best scorer George Steele of St. Saviours. Kerrisdale, with the addition of Hap Smith, improved but still finished last in the league, which was now a six-team loop thanks to the additions of Victoria United FC (third) and Nanaimo City FC (fifth). Those additions brought the Pacific Coast League back to the Island for the first time in five years. The return of the Canadian playdowns, however, was the biggest story of the 1946-47 British Columbia season. St. Andrews won their province, won the west, and then won the Dominion of Canada Football Championship. The final was played at Callister Park in Vancouver on 22 September 1947. They nearly repeated the feat in 1947-48, but they were stopped in the 1948 Canadian final by Montréal Carsteel FC, played in Winnipeg. North Shore United were the next Canadian champions in 1949. Then Vancouver City FC (né St. Saviours) won next Canadian championship in 1950. In 27 years from 1947 to 1973, Pacific Coast League teams won 13 national championships, more than any other league in Canada. Before the start of the 1947-48 season, founding league president Tommy Nelson was replaced by MacNair. His old role was filled by 10

PACIFIC COAST

returning secretary-treasurer Hendry. One of the first changes they made was the cost of match tickets, up from 35 to 50 cents for entry to Callister Park. Last-place Kerrisdale were dropped before the start of the season while Nanaimo City withdrew after half a season. St. Andrews again finished out on top, capturing their third consecutive Pacific Coast League championship in May 1948.

SEASONS

St. Andrews won the league title without Jackie Jones and Frank Ambler, both lost to other teams. Ambler finished second in the league scoring race with 19 goals for North Shore United. That gave Ambler 52 goals across two Pacific Coast League seasons. North Shore United, who finished second, added rookies Alex Reid and Gogie Stewart. Whittaker, meanwhile, came back from England and joined St. Saviours / Vancouver City. He led the league with 22 goals.

LEGENDS

During the 1947-48 season, the Pacific Coast League tried a new 70-minute format in which referees kept stopped time. The change was not overly popular. After amending the format to 60 minutes, the league dropped the rule changes at the end of the season.

FOOTBALLERS

In 1948-49, the Westminster Royals FC rejoined the league after nearly a decade away from major league soccer. For their inaugural campaign, they recruited Roy Cairns and Pat Philley as well as imports John Dunn and Wally Milligan. The new team finished second in the league standings. St. Andrews got Jackie Jones back and added Brian Philley. They also added Gogie Stewart, but he was then transferred to Vancouver City. The City men added John Halley, but lost him to St. Andrews. They also lost league scoring king Whittaker to North Shore United.

CLUBS

The Whittaker transfer was the biggest move of the season. He scored eight goals in the last four matches as the Reds won the Pacific Coast League championship, the Mainland Cup, the Province Cup, and the 1949 Dominion of Canada Football Championship. 11

Pacific Coast Soccer League Not yet done with their own winning ways, St. Andrews floated back to the top of the Pacific Coast League standings in 1949-50. Into the new season, the Scots added Doug Greig and Dick Kenning while the Reds lost Frank Ambler and Davie Brown to the Royals. For the first time since the Pacific Coast League was re-established in 1939-40, North Shore United fell to third place in the standings. They finished behind Vancouver City, but ahead of Westminster. Two teams - Victoria and Nanaimo - dropped out during the 1949-50 season. Centre forward Milligan, who started the season in Nanaimo but then transferred to Vancouver City, won his second scoring title with 21 goals. It marked the second year in a row that the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top scorer changed teams during the campaign. In 1950-51, the Pacific Coast League introduced a new format, with the top-four teams meeting in the league semi-finals. North Shore United and St. Andrews won their respective series, then North Shore won the championship match. Victoria United, who had dropped out in 1949-50, came back in 1950-51 bolstered with the addition of Milligan, who in August had won a Canadian medal with Vancouver City FC. Vancouver City also lost Cairns to St. Andrews and Stewart to Wesminster Royals. St. Andrews lost Brian Philley to North Shore United, who in turn lost him to Vancouver City. For the third year in a row, the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top goalscorer played for two different teams during the season: rookie Art Hughes transferred from the Royals to St. Andrews in December. Hughes finished the year with 15 goals. In 1950-51, the league added Sunday matches in Vancouver and New Westminster for the first time. The first two matches were played during the opening weekend on Sunday 17 September 1950.

PACIFIC COAST

In 1951-52, winter was a major problem for the third time in four seasons. After a 10-week mid-season pause in 1948-49 and then an eight-week pause in 1949-50, the league managed only two league matches in a two-and-a-half winter shutdown. The league did, however, manage to schedule more than sixty matches for the first time in league history. That schedule included the addition of a sixth team, Vancouver Firefighters FC.

SEASONS

Also for the first time, the league implemented a promotionrelegation series at the end of the season. With all the lower leagues now aligned under the Pacific Coast League umbrella, the lastplaced Pacific Coast League team was scheduled to face the Mainland League winners in June. As it turned out, the once-mighty Vancouver City finished last, but then won their promotion-relegation series against Collingwood United.

LEGENDS

Newcomers Vancouver Firefighters managed to finish third in the league standings. They had come into the league armed with all-stars like Ambler and Greig bolstered by new additions like Hughes and Dick Kenning from St. Andrews and Pete Proctor from North Shore.

FOOTBALLERS

The runners up North Shore United were led by five-time scoring champion Whittaker. They posted an impressive 8-1-1 record in the First Half. They slipped badly in the Second Half with just one victory, while Victoria United won the honours with a 7-1-2 record. Led by three former Canadian medal winners from Vancouver City (Bill McAllister, Wallace Milligan and Red McMillan), Victoria then defeated North Shore in a three-match playoff series. While the crowds slowly continued to improve in the Pacific Coast League, the big attractions were the year-end all-star matches against touring teams at Callister Park. While the visitors were most often the victors, the Pacific Coast League all-stars often provided the stiffest test of any team across North America.

CLUBS

One such example was a 4:4 draw with Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Team on 30 May 1950. Goalkeeper Bobby Newbold was British Columbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s man of the match while goals were scored by Doug Greig (two), Fred Whittaker, and Davie Brown. 13

Pacific Coast Soccer League

From 1949 to 1952, British Columbia’s opponents were Newcastle United FC, England, Atlas, Fulham FC, AIK Stockholm, San Francisco All-Stars, and Tottenham Hotspur FC. On 7 June 1951, the Victoria All-Stars won 1:0 over Fulham FC at Royal Athletic Park on a goal by Ab Travis. His brother Joe Travis in goal posted the clean sheet. Two years later on 6 June 1953, the Mainland All-Stars finally got their big win with a 3:2 victory over Northern Ireland. Brian Philley scored once and then 18-year old Gordon Ion added a brace for the memorable victory at Callister Park. The winner was scored on a penalty by Ion.

NEW WESTMINSTER ROYALTY In the 1950s, Westminster Royals FC were again the cream of the crop in Canadian soccer. In 10 seasons from 1951-52 to 1960-61, the Royals won four Canadian titles and were runners up twice. They also won five Pacific Coast League titles and were runners up once. After adding Gogie Stewart from reigning champions Vancouver City in 1950-51, the Royals then added Roy Cairns from St. Andrews and Ivan Carr from Vancouver City in 1951-52. They also brought in youngsters Errol Crossan, Gordie Ion, and goalkeeper Ken Pears. Wetminster’s trophy run started in 1951-52 with the Anderson Cup. Next up during the 1952-53 season, the Royals won the Mainland Richardson Cup, the Pacific Coast League championship and the Dominion of Canada Football Championship. Into 1953-54, they won the North American Championship for the Jack Diamond Trophy over American amateur champions Chicago Falcons. The Royals’ next major title was their sixth Canadian title in 1955. Before that, Vancouver City won the 1953-54 league championship 14

PACIFIC COAST

while the Firefighters won the 1954-55 league championship. At the heart of the Firefighters lineup was Pears, the 21-year-old all-star goalkeeper who for the three previous seasons had suited up for Westminster.

SEASONS

Pears wasn’t the only roster change in the Royals’ dressing room. In 1952-53, the Royals lost young Gordie Ion to North Shore United where he won the Ed Bayley Memorial Trophy as the top rookie. In 1953-54, they lost Lex Henderson to North Shore and Errol Crossan to the football leagues in England. They got Jackie Whent back from overseas in 1953-54 and got Henderson back from North Shore in 1954-55. New faces around the league included Neil McEachnie to Firefighters in 1953-54 and then Billy Nicol to North Shore in 1954-55. Vancouver City, meanwhile, added John Clifford and Jack Cowan from Scotland.

LEGENDS

As for departures, Vancouver soccer fans said good bye to both Don Matheson and Bobby Newbold at the end of the 1953-54 season. Both Matheson and Newbold had starred with the great St. Andrews team of the 1940s.

FOOTBALLERS

From 1953 to 1955, the Pacific Coast League’s promotionrelegation series produced only one league addition: Vancouver Pilsener in 1955-56. In successive years, St. Andrews defeated Vancouver Dominion at the end of the 1952-53 season, St. Andrews then beat Collingwood at the end of the 1953-54 season, and then Mainland League winners Pilsener FC beat the Coast League’s Victoria City at the end of the 1954-55 season. In 1953-54 and 1954-55, the Pacific Coast League again suffered through lengthy mid-season delays, so much so that executives started to discuss a change of seasons for their soccer schedule.

CLUBS

In 1953-54, there were no league matches in a lengthy 12-week delay; in 1954-55, the mid-season delay lasted nearly six weeks. With Callister Park unplayable in the winter months, Pacific Coast League secretary Horace Lear proposed the switch in January 1955. League executives, however, voted against the switch. 15

Pacific Coast Soccer League

PACIFIC COAST SUMMER SOCCER LEAGUE In January 1956, the Pacific Coast League finally pulled the trigger on abandoning their winter schedule for summer soccer. On first order, the league canceled the 1955-56 season with no champion. The seven teams had only played four to six matches each. As it turned out, two legendary players scored their last league goals in that shortened campaign: Frank Ambler for Firefighters and Fred Whittaker for North Shore. The last match of the season was played in â&#x20AC;&#x153;treacherous condition of the rain-sodden pitchâ&#x20AC;? at Royal Athletic Park on 21 January 1956. Victoria Stratchona, a new league entry, won the match 5:2 over Vancouver Pilsener, another league debutant through promotion. The new Pacific Coast Summer Soccer League made its debut on 19 May 1956 at Callister Park. St. Andrews won the league opener 4:1 over Westminster Royals. Bob Paton served as the new president and Jock Hendry was hired as the league manager-secretary. The summer league started with five teams that paid a $500 entrance fee and $1,000 franchise fee. Hendry, a player in the old Pacific Coast League of the 1930s, had served as league secretary in the 1940s and then league president in the early 1950s. Since 1954, he had served as President of Canada Soccer (at the time known as the Football Association of Canada). For the 1956 season, Victoria United replaced Strathcona as the island team while Vancouver Pilsener and Firefighters did not join the new summer loop. Firefighters, the reigning Pacific Coast League champions, continued as a force in the Mainland League, which was no longer attached through promotion-relegation. As players were keen to play, some of them took advantage of the two seasons and switched back and forth from the Pacific Coast League to the Mainland League on a yearly basis. Some keen 16

examples were Ken Pears, Art Hughes, Brian Philley, Normie McLeod and young Eddie Bak. PACIFIC COAST

In June 1959, it was reported that some Pacific Coast League teams offered their players as much as $20 for a win, $15 for a draw, or $12 for a loss.

SEASONS

With Firefighters out of the league, the Royals won three of the next four Pacific Coast League championships. Their biggest rival was the renamed Vancouver Hale-Co FC (previously Vancouver City). The Hales won the 1956 Canadian title and the 1958 Pacific Coast League championship. They were runners up to Westminster in the league in both 1956 and 1957. As league winners in 1956, the Royals earned the $700 as prize money for the championship. Runners up Hale-Co FC earned $300.

LEGENDS

The Royals continued their run as one of the best teams in Canada. Champions in 1953 and 1955, they won their third title in 1958 and were runners up in 1959.

FOOTBALLERS

After adding John Clifford from Vancouver City as well as rookie David Stothard in 1955-56, the Royals got Pat Philley from Hales and Doug Greig from Firefighters in 1956. They got debutant Mike Kuczi in 1957, import Tony Crisp from North Shore in 1958, and both Hughes and Pears from Hales (via the Firefighters) in 1959. They also got Gogie Stewart back in 1959 from the short-lived Continentals. In 1956, the Hales added Normie McLeod and Jack Steele from St. Andrews and both Hughes and Pears from Firefighters. After saying goodbye to Jack Cowan, they added debutants Jim Blundell, Roy Nosella and import Graziano Franzon in 1957. They then added Doug Greig from St. Andrews and both Neil McEachnie and Billy Nicol from North Shore in 1958; they then added John Clifford from St. Andrews and welcomed rookie Don Boyd in 1959.

CLUBS

While Victoria United joined the loop in 1956, they dropped out after one season. The league then added both Vancouver Hungaria and Nanaimo City for the 1958 season. Victoria Evcoe replaced Nanaimo in 1959 while Hungaria changed their name to Continentals. 17

Pacific Coast Soccer League While the summer league featured no winter shutdowns, the league did feature some hiccups. Hendry resigned midway through the first season and the executive suggested folding the league after year one. The league sorted itself out in February and were “back” up and running with the 1957 season opener in April. In 1957, the Pacific Coast League played its smallest schedule at just 25 matches. From 20 June to 8 July, the league shut down during the international break while Canada competed in FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. Canada’s lineup in their first-ever competitive match was made entirely of Pacific Coast League players. It was the second season in a row that Canada drew the bulk of its lineup from Pacific Coast League teams. In August 1956, the All Canada 14-man roster featured 10 Pacific Coast League players. In 1957, the Canada XI featured: David Stothard, Roy Cairns, Pat Philley, and Gogie Stewart from Royals; Ken Pears, Jack Steele, Brian Philley, Art Hughes, and Normie McLeod from Hales; Doug Greig from St. Andrews; and Gordon Ion from North Shore United. While the Royals and Hales were the dominant teams of the summer seasons, North Shore had their own bit of success in 1957. They reached the Canadian final, but lost by a goal to Montréal Ukraina. Not quite the powerhouse they were in the 1940s, North Shore featured some impressive young players in the late 1950s. Neil McEachnie was there in 1956, Bob Hazeldine debuted in 1957, Roy Nosella joined from the Hales in 1958, and Jim Blundell from Hales and Bobby Smith from Nanaimo joined in 1959.

PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE CHANGES SEASONS Into the fourth year of summer soccer, new leadership led the Pacific Coast League back to a winter (or more accurately fall to spring) soccer schedule. 18

PACIFIC COAST

In July 1959, the league voted to end its current season and start afresh with the 1959-60 schedule in late September. In all, 14 matches were struck from the 45-match schedule, with the six teams having each played 10-13 matches from their respective 15-match schedules. As Westminster Royals were well out in front in the standings, they were declared the league winners and awarded the $600 prize money for the 1959 season.

SEASONS

The “new” Pacific Coast League was initially established as a nonamateur or semi-professional league. Players were signed to either amateur or non-amateur forms. Following several years in which the Pacific Coast League and Mainland League teams essentially ‘shared’ players, the two leagues now competed against each other for player services. The first match of the new season was played on 27 September 1959 at Callister Park, a 3:3 draw between Labatt’s (né St. Andrews FC) and league debutant Vancouver Columbus FC.

LEGENDS

Columbus replaced island team Victoria Evcoe in 1959-60, while Firefighters stayed in the Mainland League for another two seasons (and kept their best players). In 1960-61, the Continentals / Hungaria’s withdrawal left the league with five teams, but then the addition of Firefighters and Victoria United in 1961-62 increased the league membership back up to seven teams.

FOOTBALLERS

North Shore Carling’s won both the 1959-60 Pacific Coast League championship and the BC Province Cup. Newcomers Columbus finished as league runners up. In 1960-61, the Westminster Royals won their fifth league championship while Columbus finished third in the league and runners up in the BC Province Cup competition.

CLUBS

Westminster also won the Canadian Amateur Championship in 1960, their fourth in eight years. Their star fullback Roy Cairns, a five-time Canadian champion, retired after winning his fifth league title in 1960-61. The 1960-61 season, however, belonged to the Firefighters who played their last season in the Mainland League. They won the Mainland League championship, the 1961 BC Province Cup, and 19

Pacific Coast Soccer League reached the 1961 Canadian final. They only lost the Canadian final 0:1 to professional side Montréal Concordia. The Pacific Coast League gladly welcomed the Firefighters back to their fold in 1961-62. With seven teams in check, the Pacific Coast League unveiled its biggest schedule ever at 85 matches. Teams played 12 matches in each half season; First Half and Second Half winners then met each other in a playoff final for the championship. That Sunday title match on 20 May 1962 featured Columbus against Firefighters, the first Pacific Coast League final featuring the two forever rivals. The Firefighters won the league championship and qualified for the Pacific Coast International Championship for the J.F. Kennedy Cup, a new three-nation competition launched one year earlier. The Firefighters won that one, too. The J.F. Kennedy Cup competition was as big as it got for the Firefighters that season. That summer, British Columbia pulled out of the 1962 national competition. A year later, the national competition didn’t even take place. The J.F. Kennedy Cup competition featured the Pacific Coast League winners against teams from Los Angeles, San Francisco and Mexico. The Westminster Royals lost the first final in 1961 to the Mexican Selects. The Firefighters got their revenge with a 2:1 victory over the Mexican Selects in the 1962 final. The Firefighters team featured stars like Eddie Bak, Art Bennett and Louis Trischuk on attack. They also had Ken Pears in goal and 30-something stars Doug Greig and Art Hughes. While the Firefighters were enjoying life at the top, the once mighty St. Andrews squad were facing relegation at the bottom against the Mainland League winners Wallace Pilsener FC. A three-match series was ordered, but after one victory St. Andrews claimed they couldn’t field a healthy team and refused to continue. 20

PACIFIC COAST

When the 1962-63 season kicked off, St. Andrews were still in the Pacific Coast League, but so too were Wallace Pilsener by order of the BC Soccer Commission. That order was unwelcomed and soon after both St. Andrews and Westminster Royals quit the Pacific Coast League as a show of protest. Said St. Andrews manager Jock Copland, “this thing has become an awful mess. We do not feel that Pils have any legal right to be in our league and we resent the dictatorial methods being used to impose them on us.”

SEASONS

St. Andrews had already played one league match on opening weekend against the (welcomed) newcomers from Seattle, but the result was ultimately struck from the Pacific Coast League records. A few weeks later, Wallace Pilsener played their first match in the league, a 1:1 draw with North Shore Carling’s.

LEGENDS

The Royals, meanwhile, were ultimately replaced by a new franchise from the same city called New Westminster Royal City FC. The new team quickly signed many of the players from the old Royals.

FOOTBALLERS

Royal City FC played just one season after which they were replaced by the returned Royals FC in 1963-64. The Seattle Hungarians, on the other hand, lasted two seasons in the Canadian league. As for St. Andrews, they remained out of the league until 1965-66. The Firefighters lost the 1962-63 championship by three points to the Canadians, who until a couple of years earlier had been known as Vancouver City FC. The Firefighters did, however, win the Anderson Cup, the BC Province Cup and the Pacific Coast League’s new Top Star Trophy. The Canadians lost the J.F. Kennedy Cup final to the Mexican Selects.

CLUBS

In that first Top Star Trophy final on 9 June 1963, Firefighters won 1:0 over Columbus on a Jim Blundell goal and Ken Pears clean sheet. The Sunday final was played in front of 3,237 fans at Callister Park. The winners earned $500 while the runners up received $400; semi-finalists Victoria and Canadians earned $300 each. 21

Pacific Coast Soccer League That 1962-63 campaign proved to be the last full season for all-stars Doug Greig of the Firefighters and Brian Philley of the Canadians. Greig won the Austin Delany Memorial Trophy as the league’s most valuable player. It was also the last season for Columbus’ popular centre half Graziano Franzon, who returned home to Italy. Franzon had started his Pacific Coast League career with the Hales, but transferred to Columbus when the Italians first joined the league in 1959-60. Franzon was replaced at centre half by Gene Vazzoler, who starred with the Columbus squad through the 1960s and 1970s. Columbus were very proactive in signing players in the early 1960s, building a winning franchise to the delight of their supporters. The team regularly drew the biggest crowds to Callister Park on Sunday afternoons. In 1960-61, they added young star Bobby Smith from North Shore and John Comuzzi from the lower leagues. They brought in Freddie Bundschoks from Alberta, in fact flying him back and forth from his home in Calgary when they needed to spark their offence. In 1961-62, they signed Normie McLeod and Roy Nosella from the Mainland League as well as added rookies Vazzoler and Barry Ihaksi. In 1962-63, they got Merv Schweitzer and Gogie Stewart from the Royals and added former Yugoslavian professional Steve Djorić from Toronto Italia FC.

FIREFIGHTERS THREE-PEAT The debtate continued in 1963-64 as to which was the better team in Canada, let alone Callister Park on a Sunday afternoon: Firefighters or Columbus. For a time, it seemed that the Firefighters had put the debate to rest, winning the league championship, the Anderson Cup, and the Top Star Trophy. 22

PACIFIC COAST

They missed out on a chance to compete for the Kennedy Cup as the league opted to send an all-star team instead. The all-stars lost, but Firefighters’ goalkeeper Pears won the 1964 MVP award. Columbus made their own case, however, by edging Firefighters for the BC Province Cup and then winning the Challenge Trophy for the 1964 Canadian Amateur Championship. They crushed the visiting Sudbury Italia FC squad in the Canadian final at Callister Park.

SEASONS

Other teams did their best to keep up. The Canadians, winners in 1962-63, were league runners up in 1963-64 and 1964-65. They got Normie McLeod from Columbus and Bob Coyle from the Royals in 1962-63, then added goalkeeper Bob Bissett in 1963-64. Bissett was the league’s most valuable player in 1963-64.

LEGENDS

On the island, Victoria United debuted rookies Barry Sadler and Ash Valdal in 1961-62, then added David Stothard from Royals in 1962-63. They finished either third or fourth in the league standings in five successive seasons from 1961-62 to 1965-66. Sadler set the league’s record for clean sheets in 1961-62 while Stothard was the league’s most valuable player in 1965-66.

FOOTBALLERS

New blood in the league included Neil Ellett with St. Andrews and both Gary Stevens and Louis Trischuk with Firefighters in 1961-62. A year later, Ellett went to North Shore while Greg Arnett debuted with Firefighters. In 1963-64, the Royals held 16-year old Les Wilson briefly before he starred on the BC All-Stars and was signed by Wolverhampton in England. In 1963-64, Columbus added Bob Hazeldine from the Mailand League, Carlos Franco from the Caribbean, and Errol Crossan on return back from England and Toronto. The former pro Crossan was one of the stars in delivering Columbus their first Canadian title.

CLUBS

In 1964-65, Columbus slipped to fourth in the league standings while the Firefighters won their second-consecutive championship. Tony Canta, the Columbus left half, was the league’s most valuable player. 23

Pacific Coast Soccer League The Firefighters’ one-two punch on the forward line was Jim Blundell (16 goals) and Art Hughes (15). Ken Pears led the league in clean sheets while Gogie Stewart from Royals and Don Boyd from Seattle were worthy additions. The Firefighters won the Anderson Cup, the Pacific Coast League championship, and the BC Province Cup. In September 1965, they won the Canadian Amateur Championship for the first time. Pears posted three clean sheets while Art Hughes scored seven goals in three wins. The 1964-65 Firefighters lost, however, both the Top Star Trophy and J.F. Kennedy Cup. In the Pacific Coast League tournament, they lost in the semi-final to eventual winners Columbus. In Tijuana, the Firefighters finished third in the Kennedy Cup tournament’s round-robin series. The 1965 Top Star semi-final between Firefighters and Columbus was another Callister Park classic. Down by a goal, Bobby Smith orchestrated the Columbus 3:2 comeback by scoring both the equaliser and winner. Wrote Jeff Cross after Smith was carried off on the shoulder of fans, “he had scored one of the finest goals seen at the park in years - a first-time slicing drive on passes from Errol Crossan and Barry Ihaksi to give Columbus a 3:2 victory and a berth in next Sunday’s final.” The Firefighters went back on top for the 1965-66 season, winning the championship by a record 10 points. They were perfect in three league matches against Columbus, who had drifted back up into second place in the standings. Well, nearly perfect. In the last league meeting with Columbus, the Firefighters lost Ken Pears to injury. He was out for the season. Victoria United, who finished fourth in the standings, were the only team that beat the Firefighters in their 21-match schedule. Victoria beat them again in the Top Star Trophy semi-finals, then Columbus beat Victoria for the trophy.

PACIFIC COAST

North Shore beat the Firefighters in the BC Province Cup, but there were no national playdowns for clubs to advance in 1966. The Firefighters did get another crack at the J.F. Kennedy Cup. Both Columbus and Victoria were both good enough to loan their players to the Firefighters, who beat San Francisco in the semi-final and then Los Angeles in the final. Smith of Columbus scored five goals in the 6:0 final while Sadler posted back-to-back clean sheets in relief of injured Pears.

SEASONS

MVP of the 1966 J.F. Kennedy Cup championship was speedy fullback Gary Stevens, who was notably terrific for shutting down San Francisco’s big offensive threat in the semi-final.

LEGENDS

In the midst of the Firefighters’ historic three-peat of the Pacific Coast League championship, the league added the University of British Columbia in 1964-65 and then added returning club St. Andrews in 1965-66. The St. Andrews team, however, last just two seasons and withdrew after finishing in last place in back-to-back seasons. The Canadians (né St. Saviours, then Vancouver City and Hale-Co FC) moved to neighbouring Burnaby and were renamed Burnaby Villa before the 1965-66 season.

FOOTBALLERS

VICTORIA BACK TO BACK In 1966-67, it was Victoria United’s turn to rise to the top of the Pacific Coast League standings. They were there for two seasons, winning back-to-back championships as well as the international 1967 J.F. Kennedy Cup competition. They were known in those seasons by their sponsor, O’Keefe.

CLUBS

Columbus finished the 1966-67 season in second place while the aging Firefighters finished in fourth place; in 1967-68, Columbus dropped to third while Firefighters held on to the fourth spot. The University of British Columbia, meanwhile, climbed to second place in 1967-68, their fourth season in the league. 25

Pacific Coast Soccer League

In 1964-65, the UBC Thunderbirds added John Haar from Columbus as well as young rookie Jim Berry. The following year, they added Ash Valdal from Victoria. After finishing in fifth place in 1965-66 and 1966-67, the addition of former pro Jimmy Briggs helped the club move into second place in 1967-68. Briggs won the league’s most valuable player award. Around the league, North Shore veteran John Woods played his last season in 1966-67 while 35-year old Errol Crossan joined the Royals from Columbus and just kept going. Columbus also let Steve Djorić go to their rivals Firefighters. On 27 November 1966, Djorić scored on a penalty and then got a red card in a heated match against his former team. The Italians came from behind and won the match 3:1 on goals by Sergio Zanatta (two) and Bobby Smith, their first win over the Firefighters in league play in three years. After the match, the Columbus fans displayed a mock funeral for the Firefighters. Wrote Roy Jukich, “the service and burial took place immediately following the Italians’ 3:1 triumph over Firemen and was attended by a wildly cheering pro-Columbus house of 1,400. The coffin was painted yellow and black (Firemen’s colours) and was carried to centre field by four pall bearers followed by a single mourner.” The Columbus victory was their third of 11 straight, a new league record. The streak included two wins against Firefighters, the second coming just one week before Christmas when a Zanatta shot was redirected by a Firefighters player into his own goal. The Zanatta ‘winner’ didn’t count towards his goal tally, a league-best 13 for the Italians. Try as they did, Columbus couldn’t catch Victoria O’Keefe who won the Pacific Coast League championship by two points. Victoria’s big addition that year was import Jim Menzies from Scotland. Menzies finished tied for second in the league scoring race with 12 goals. 26

Goalkeeper Sadler, meanwhile, finished tied for second with nine clean sheets, including two against runners up Columbus. PACIFIC COAST

Columbus’ turn would come, but just not yet. They had been strengthened in 1965-66 by the addition of import Peter Simpson. They also started adding younger players like Zanatta, Sam and Vanni Lenarduzzi, and goalkeeper Peter Greco.

SEASONS

More young blood across the league was added in Ike MacKay with Victoria in 1965-66, Gary Thompson with Burnaby in 1966-67, and Brian Robinson with Victoria in 1967-68. Thompson transferred to the University of British Columbia in 1967-68, but Burnaby added Greco from Montréal that same season (before he went to Columbus in 1968-69).

COLUMBUS THREE-PEAT

LEGENDS

The 1968-69 season saw the addition of two new teams and, for the first time ever, more than 100 matches on the Pacific Coast League calendar. Eintracht and Croatia filled the table at seventh- and ninthplace, respectively, in their inaugural seasons.

FOOTBALLERS

The winners were Vancouver Columbus, at last their first Pacific Coast League championship in 10 years. League runners up on four previous occasions, the Columbus squad ran away with the 1968-69 championship by a league record 16 points over secondplace UBC. Simpson won the league’s most valuable player award while Vanni Lenarduzzi broke out for a league-best 14 goals. They won 19 of 24 matches and outscored their opponents 63-12.

CLUBS

Columbus additions in 1968-69 included Greco from Burnaby Villa, Berry from UBC, and Allan Bristowe from Montréal. They also added rookie Victor Kodelja and re-activated 36-year old Steve Djorić. The 1968-69 championship season was bookmarked by trips to both the 1968 and 1969 Canadian Amateur Championship final. In 27

Pacific Coast Soccer League 1968, they reached the Canadian final, but lost the big one 2:1 to Toronto Royals. Toronto scored their penalty winner in the 76th minute. A year later on 28 September 1969, Columbus made no mistake in spanking Montréal Ukraina with a record 10:0 win. Wrote Jeff Cross in fairness, “the first half of the game was close and hard fought as any Cup final could be.” Up 1-0 after 45 minutes, Columbus scored nine more times in the second half. While the 1968-69 championship was the first of three-straight for Columbus, they wouldn’t get back to the national final again until 1977. The Italians won the 1969-70 championship by four points and the 1970-71 championship by two points. They were undefeated in 1969-70 across 16 matches in the championship and then three more matches in the Top Star Trophy playoffs. In those three seasons, Columbus won all nine head-to-head league meetings with their old rivals Firefighters. The Firefighters finished third in 1968-69, but then slipped to seventh in 1969-70 and sixth in 1970-71. After the 1968-69 season, the Firefighters said goodbye to Jim Blundell, their all-time leading scorer and a two-time Pacific Coast League scoring champion. Without Blundell, the Firefighters scored only 11 goals in 16 matches in 1969-70. The Firefighters did add Smith from Columbus that season, but by February the star scorer was back in Italian colours. Smith, the alltime leading scorer for Columbus, scored twice down the stretch, then joined North Shore in 1970-71. He left the Pacific Coast League after the 1971-72 season with a league-record 161 goals to his credit. In 1969-70, the Firefighters also saw the last of Ken Pears in goal, who transitioned from first-string goalkeeper to player-manager. His replacement Mike Gilmore was more than capable, breaking out for a league-best 10 clean sheets in 1970-71.

PACIFIC COAST

The Firefighters also lost all-star fullback Eddie Bak in 1968-69, killed in a November car accident. Bak, who spent the bulk of his career with Firefighters, was a five-time Canadian champion. In 1968-69, UBC got Barry Sadler from league winners Victoria, even if it was for only one season. Sadler broke his own record for clean sheets in a season with 14, helping the Thunderbirds finish second in the league standings. He was back in Victoria colours in 1969-70.

SEASONS

Back with Victoria, Sadler continued to post clean sheets through to the end of the 1971-72 season. He retired as the league’s all-time leader with 85 clean sheets. Westminster saw the last of Errol Crossan in 1968-69, but also the start for goalkeeper Greg Weber. The young Weber, unfortunately, wasn’t around for a second season in New Westminster: he won the league’s MVP award with second-year Croatia in 1969-70.

LEGENDS

Croatia had youngsters like Harold Hansen and Buzz Parsons in their lineup in 1968-69, then added Weber and Gerry Heaney from Westminster, Neil Ellett from Eintracht, and Haar from UBC. Led by player-manager Colin Atkinson, they finished second in the 1969-70 league standings.

FOOTBALLERS

Croatia won the 1970 BC Province Cup, albeit there was no national competition beyond the provincial finals that year. A year later, they won the 1971 Top Star Trophy after debuting an even younger goalkeeper, Tony Chursky. Eintracht, the other new team from the 1968-69 season, started with youngsters like Ellett, Russ Hillman, and Glen Johnson. None of them lasted long with the team. Then in 1969-70, they added Buzz Parsons from Croatia. The following year in 1970-71, they added Greg Arnett from Firefighters and his brother Peter Arnett from Paul’s Tailors FC (né St. Saviours FC, etc).

CLUBS

Eintracht climbed to fourth in the standings, then more impressively beat Paul’s Tailors FC in the BC Province Cup final. Eintracht played their way to the Canadian final, winning the 1971 Canadian 29

Pacific Coast Soccer League

Amateur Championship 3:1 over visiting Windsor Maple Leafs at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby. The big star of the 1970-71 season was Columbus centre forward Giorgio Zambrano, the league’s most valuable player. He missed eight of his team’s 24 matches with a broken collarbone, but still managed to finish second in the scoring race with 16 goals. A Canadian champion with Columbus in 1964, Zambrano was busy playing in the Mainland League before Columbus called him back to the big league in 1970-71.

FINAL SEASONS From the 1960s into the early 1970s, the game enjoyed keen growth in British Columbia and across Canada. The major leagues like the Pacific Coast League, though, were quickly giving way to the newly-established professional leagues in North America. In the summer of 1967, Vancouver hosted Sunderland FC of England as the city’s “home” team in the United Soccer Association league. For that one summer, Sunderland were known as the Vancouver Royal Canadians. In 1968, the Vancouver Royals were a team of their own right in the newly-established North American Soccer League. The team lasted one season. In 1974, the NASL returned to Vancouver with the debut of the Whitecaps. From 1969 to 1971, British Columbia featured teams in the Western Canada Soccer League, the first Canadian league that featured teams across three provinces. When the Vancouver Spartans joined the league in 1969, the Western Canada Soccer League became the first Canadian league to play across four provinces.

PACIFIC COAST

Several players featured in both leagues, notably playing in the Pacific Coast League from the fall through spring and then in the Western Canada League from spring through summer. After the 1970-71 season, three Pacific Coast League teams left the established league and joined the fledgling BC Premier Soccer League. Columbus, Croatia and Eintracht were the three teams from the Pacific Coast League; Vancouver Spartans, Victoria Regals and Richmond Renegades completed the six-team loop. The new summer league lasted just the one season.

SEASONS

In 1971-72, the Pacific Coast League replaced their lost teams with Vancouver Inter-Italia and Victoria Gorge FC. The Victoria Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe team got a new lease on life as Victoria West United, an amalgymation of the Victoria United and Victoria West teams. The Victoria West United team finished one point better than Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tailors FC to win the championship.

LEGENDS

In 1972-73, the league lost Firefighters and introduced a new interlocking schedule with teams from the Inter-City League. Teams in the Pacific Coast League played their league opponents twice (12 matches) and the Inter-City League teams once (six matches). After 18 matches, Westminster Blues were league winners, one point better than Victoria West United.

FOOTBALLERS

After the 1972-73 season, BC Soccer reorganised their leagues for the 1973-74 season across seven divisions in the newly-named BC Soccer League. It included teams from the old Pacific Coast League, Mainland League, and Inter-City League. The 12 First Division teams in that league provided a new start for soccer in the province.

CLUBS

At the national level, meanwhile, British Columbia teams dominated Canadian amateur club soccer throughout the 1970s, notably winning the Challenge Trophy eight times in a nine-year span. After Eintracht, Westminster Blues and Firefighters won in successive years from 1971 to 1973, Victoria London Boxing Club (1975), Victoria West FC (1976, 1979), and Vancouver Columbus FC (1977, 1978) made British Columbia the first province to produce national champions in five consecutive years. 31

1939-40

NORTH SHORE UNITED FC North Shore United FC were the first winners of the re-established Pacific Coast League in the summer of 1940. Just two years removed from their first national title, North Shore won the league race by just two points over runners up Victoria FC across 16 matches. The Reds clinched the title on the last match of the season, a 3:2 win over St. Saviours on 31 July 1940. Needing a point or better in their last match, North Shore rushed to a 3-0 lead on goals by Malcolm McManus and Jimmy Spencer (two) before St. Saviours scored twice late in the match. McManus and Spencer were the star scorers of the North Shore side, in fact accounting for nearly than 60% of the team’s 52 goals in 1939-40. McManus led the league with 17 goals while Spencer finished fourth with 13 goals. McManus and Spencer were also two of the nine stars that won the 1938 Dominion of Canada Football Championship with North Shore United. The other heroes were Jack Rabbitt, Tommy Cumming, Bob Harrison, Trevor Harvey, Bill Wolfe, Cecil Goodheart, and Basil Robinson. The star-studded 1939-40 roster also included Nick Glebovich (Glover), Jimmy Love, Don Matheson, Norm McLeod, and Johnny Newbold. While Victoria led the league for much of the season, North Shore kept pace and eventually took over first place to win the league’s $110 prize money. In head-to-head league matches, North Shore won two, drew one, and lost once (on Boxing Day) to Victoria. North Shore’s overall record was nine wins, three draws, and four losses. Alongside winning the league championship, the North Shore men won the 1940 Mainland Cup and finished runners up in the BC Province Cup competition. There was no national competition in 1940.

1940-41

VANCOUVER ST. ANDREWS FC Vancouver St. Andrews FC won the 1940-41 Pacific Coast League championship after beating rivals North Shore United FC to the top of the standings. St. Andrews won the race by three points, notably winning two of three league matches against the defending champions. The Scots clinched the title in their last match of the season, a 2:0 win over last-place Nanaimo City FC on 26 April 1941. Johnny “Wee Tosh” McIntosh scored twice in the second half while goalkeeper Bobby Newbold posted his fifth clean sheet of the season. The match was played at Con Jones Park in Vancouver. The highlight of the season was a 5:2 win over North Shore in late November, with McIntosh scoring four of the goals for the winners. At the time, it gave St. Andrews a big five-point lead over North Shore in the standings after just six matches. St. Andrews enjoyed a ten-match unbeaten streak to open the 1940-41 season, finally falling to Victoria United FC on Vancouver Island on 1 February 1941. St. Andrews finished the season with seven wins, five draws, and three losses in 15 matches. McIntosh finished third in the league scoring race with 12 goals, six back of league leader Ralph Cosier of Victoria. Sophomore goalkeeper Newbold finished first in clean sheets. Other stars on the St. Andrews squad that season included George Greig, Wes Henderson, Billy Hyslop, Jackie Jones, Erling Storness and John Webber. The notable rookie on the team was Frank Ambler who scored his first two Pacific Coast League goals on 20 October 1940.

1941-42

NORTH SHORE UNITED FC North Shore United FC went back on top in 1941-42 to win the Pacific Coast League championship with an impressive five-point cushion. They outpaced rivals St. Saviours FC and St. Andrews FC to finish first in the league standings while winning nine of their 14 matches. The Reds clinched the title with two matches remaining in their schedule. Away against Victoria United FC, the North Shore squad drew 0:0 at Royal Athletic Park to push clear of second-place St. Saviours. Arnie Bumstead posted the clean sheet in that 7 March 1942 away match at Royal Athletic Park. North Shore posted two wins and a draw against runners up St. Saviours, including a massive 6:1 win just after Christmas on 27 December 1941. Jimmy Spencer scored a hat trick, Jimmy Love scored twice, and Malcolm McManus scored once. As reported in the Vancouver Sun the next day, “they might have beaten any team in Canada on (that) Saturday.” North Shore also did well against the defending winners St. Andrews. They won two of three league matches, including a 2:0 victory in the league’s opening weekend in October. Later in the season, their flu-stricken side came from behind to win 4:3 over the Scots on 28 February 1942. With an ever-changing roster, North Shore had to rely on plenty of players throughout the season, with even their manager Allan MacSween seeing action as a substitute in one match. Their goals leader was Jimmy Spencer, who finished second in the league scoring race for the second year in a row (one goal back of Fred Whittaker’s 11 goals). Also starring on the North Shore side was young Don Matheson.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

JIMMY SPENCER: MOST GOALS, 1940-1949 North Shore’s Jimmy Spencer scored more Pacific Coast League goals than any other player in the 1940s. His 94 goals put him four up on Fred Whittaker, the decade’s second-best scorer. Frank Ambler (85) and Ray Burgess (51) were the only other players to score more than 50. Rounding out the top-10 were Joe Jordan (45), Hap Smith (44), Trevor Harvey (43), Davie Brown (42), Laurie Pallot (42), and Brian Philley (40). 38

PACIFIC COAST

1941-42 CHAMPIONS : NORTH SHORE UNITED FC

1942-43

NORTH SHORE UNITED FC Even with a new league format, North Shore United FC came out on top as Pacific Coast League champions in 1942-43. They beat Boeing FC by four points in the First Half and then beat St. Saviours FC by one point in the Second Half, as such taking the league honours without the need for a playoff. They finished the season with a combined 11 wins, three draws, and 65 goals scored in 17 matches played. The Reds clinched the championship on the last day of the season, a come-from-behind 6:3 victory over challengers St. Saviours. Trailing by a goal at the break, Trevor Harvey sparked the comeback by scoring twice and assisting on the Jimmy Spencer winner. Jimmy Love also scored twice for the winners in the 15 June 1943 finale at Athletic Park. Spencer, for the third year in a row, finished second in the league scoring race. This time, the league leader was his teammate Trevor Harvey, who at centre forward became the league’s first 20-goal man. This was Harvey’s first year back with North Shore after a two-year trek with other teams. Harvey scored 21 goals while Spencer scored 13. Ray Burgess was third on the team with nine goals while former goalscoring champion Malcolm McManus was fourth with six. Led by manager Harry Longley, North Shore scored five or more goals six times during the season. Their three biggest victories were an 8:3 win over St. Saviours in September, an 8:0 win over St. Andrews on Boxing Day, and a 9:4 win over crumbling St. Saviours in February.

1943-44

VANCOUVER BOEING FC They needed a tie-breaker in each half season, but Vancouver Boeing FC won their first and only Pacific Coast League championship in 1943-44 by beating the two-time reigning champions North Shore United FC. The two sides actually faced each other eight times that season, including three playoff matches to sort out each half season’s winning team. The year-long series was split evenly with three wins and two draws each, but the Boeing men came away with the two most important victories that gave them the 1943-44 championship. Boeing FC won the First Half playoff on 8 January, a 3:1 victory with goals by Don Matheson and Ray Burgess (two). Things got heated in the Second Half and the two sides traded important victories in April for Boeing and June for North Shore, the latter a 6 June come-from-behind victory that tied the two teams in the standings and forced the Second Half playoff. The two sides drew 2:2 after extra time in a thrilling playoff match on 24 June, with North Shore’s George “Uke” Grey the last-minute hero. Boeing made no mistake three days later, however, when they clinched the championship on 27 June 1944 with a 2:1 win over the Reds at Athletic Park. Wes Henderson and John Webber scored for the winners. Burgess led the Boeing side with 11 goals, ranked second best in the league behind Pete Richardson of St. Andrews FC. As it turned out, this was the short-lived Boeing FC’s second-last season in the Pacific Coast League. Led by manager Scotty MacNair, the Boeing side won the Province Cup in 1941-42 then posted an 18-16-16 record in 50 Pacific Coast League matches during the War years from 1942-43 to 1944-45.

VANCOUVER ST. ANDREWS FC Vancouver St. Andrews FC beat rivals North Shore United FC in a playoff series to capture the 1945-46 Pacific Coast League championship. It was St. Andrews’ first of three-straight titles as league champions. The Scots clinched the championship on 25 June 1946 with a 3:3 draw, wrapping up a three-match series undefeated against North Shore. Laurie Pallot scored all three goals for the winners in the finale at Callister Park. After winning the longer First Half season by two points over St. Saviours FC, St. Andrews finished undefeated yet tied with North Shore United in the shorter Second Half schedule. The two sides met in a tie-breaker match, with the North Shore victory forcing a championship playoff between the First and Second Half winners. While the second and third playoff matches ended in draws, the first match on 22 June was a 4:2 victory in St. Andrews’ favour. An own goal in that victory was, as it turned out, the series winner. In eight head-to-head league matches, St. Andrews posted four wins and three draws against North Shore. In 18 league matches, St. Andrews won 10, drew six, and set a league record with 26 points. Hugh Greer led the team with 12 goals while Ray Burgess finished second with 10 goals. Laurie Pallot, who scored 13 goals with Kerrisdale and five with St. Andrews, finished second overall in the league scoring race with 18 goals, seven back of the league’s first 25-goal man Fred Whittaker.

1947-48

VANCOUVER ST. ANDREWS FC Vancouver St. Andrews FC made it three in a row by winning the 1947-48 Pacific Coast League championship. After winning the First Half honours over Victoria United FC, they finished one point back to North Shore United in the Second Half, then beat their rivals in a playoff series for the title. It took four matches, but the Scots won the championship series on 5 May 1948 with a come-from-behind 5:4 victory over North Shore. Down by two goals after 45 minutes, St. Andrews scored three times to win the title. Cecil Goodheart and Stubby McLean scored in the first half while George Steele (twice) and Jimmy Greig scored in the second half. St. Andrews were actually a penalty kick away from winning the Second Half standings, which would have canceled out the need for a playoff. Tied 3-3 on 10 April, North Shoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ian MacKay stopped a late Wes Henderson penalty attempt. The draw kept St. Andrews on 13 points and one back of North Shore. A Wes Henderson goal would have given them the crown. Instead, Vancouver fans were treated to four more St. Andrews v North Shore matches in the next month, bringing the season total to 10 head-tohead matches in Pacific Coast League competition. The two sides split the year-long rivalry with four wins and two draws each. St. Andrews, however, won the last two matches when it mattered most. In the penultimate match on 1 May, a Henderson penalty was the winner in a 1:0 series equaliser. St. Andrews then won 5:4 in the final match. Steele, who joined St. Andrews from North Shore at the start of the season, led the Scots with 12 goals in 1947-48. Don Matheson and Jimmy Greig finished second on the team with eight goals each.

1948-49

NORTH SHORE UNITED FC It took six years, but North Shore United FC finally rose back to the top of the Pacific Coast League standings in 1948-49. After finishing as league runners up in five-straight seasons, North Shore beat Westminster Royals FC in a two-match playoff series to capture the 1948-49 title. The Reds won the championship with back-to-back wins almost a month apart. After a 4:2 win on 18 May, North Shore won the title on 11 June 1949 with a 4:1 win over the Royals at Callister Park. Fred Whittaker scored all four goals in the decisive match. In landing Whittaker from Vancouver City FC in late March, North Shore pulled off the coup of the season. Whittaker scored eight goals in four matches for North Shore, finishing the season with a league-best 18 goals. It was the fourth time Whittaker won the league scoring race. Whittaker finished third in team scoring behind Davie Brown, who finished tied for second in the league with 15 goals, and Frank Ambler, who finished fifth overall with 11 goals. The formidable trio accounted for more than 75% of the team’s goals. On the season, North Shore won four of six league matches against the Royals. They also split their four-match series with three-time defending champions St. Andrews FC (one win and two draws each). Their biggest victory was a 7:0 win over Victoria United FC in late November. Alongside the league championship, North Shore United captured the Mainland Cup on 21 May and the Province Cup on 25 June. In the Canadian playdowns, they won their province, the west, and then finally on 10 August 1949 the Dominion of Canada Football Championship.

VANCOUVER ST. ANDREWS FC Vancouver St. Andrews FC went back to the top of the charts in 1949-50, capturing their fourth Pacific Coast League championship in a five-year span. St. Andrews ran away with the First Half, finished a point back in the Second Half, then won the championship series over Vancouver City FC. The Scots won the best-of-three championship series with their second win on 21 June 1950, a 2:0 victory at Callister Park. Brian Philley, who scored four goals in the first two matches, scored two more in the decisive match. Jackie Jones, in goal for injured Bobby Newbold, posted the clean sheet. Philley, a former (and future) City man, finished second in the league goalscoring race for the second year in a row. He led the Scots with 13 goals while John Halley scored 10 and Doug Greig scored nine. On the season, St. Andrews won three and drew two in seven league matches against Vancouver City. They won two and drew one in four league matches against defending champions North Shore United. Their biggest victory was a 9:1 smashing over Nanaimo City FC on opening day.

1950-51

NORTH SHORE UNITED FC North Shore United FC won the Pacific Coast League championship in 1950-51, this time over rivals and defending league winners St. Andrews FC. It was North Shore United’s second league championship in three years. The Reds won the title with a 3:2 playoff victory over the Scots on 31 March 1951 at Callister Park. Down 0-2 inside 15 minutes, North Shore scored three times before the break. Malcolm McManus, Jimmy Spencer, and Dave Kent scored for the winners; man-of-the-match Fred Whittaker set up both the first and third goals. This was the first time that the Pacific Coast League used a four-team playoff to determine their champion. North Shore United won 3:2 over fourth-place Victoria United FC in the semi-final, then beat St. Andrews for the championship. Whittaker, who scored the winner in the semi-final, finished second in the league scoring race with 13 goals. Rookie Art Hughes, who went from Westminster Royals FC to St. Andrews, led the league with 15 goals. On the season, North Shore United went undefeated against St. Andrews with two wins and two draws in four league matches. North Shore also split their head-to-head series against Vancouver City FC (one win, one draw, one loss), who before the start of the season succeeded North Shore United as 1950 Canadian champions. Alongside their league title, North Shore United FC won the 1951 Mainland Cup on 19 May at Callister Park.

1952-53

WESTMINSTER ROYALS FC Westminster Royals FC won 11 of 15 matches in 1952-53 to capture the Pacific Coast League championship, their first since the team was revived in the late 1940s. The Royals won the 15-match race in the standings by an impressive five points over runners up North Shore United FC. The Royals clinched the title on 21 March 1953 with one match left in their schedule. Up against the challengers from North Vancouver, the New Westminster side won the decisive match 4:1 at Callister Park. The Royals’ Lex Henderson scored a hat trick while Gogie Stewart added a single. Royals team leader Stewart finished third in the league scoring race with 13 goals. Henderson scored 10 goals while Ivan Carr and Errol Crossan scored nine goals each. Other notable stars in the 1952-53 squad were Roy Cairns, Bill Hislop and teenaged goalkeeper Ken Pears. Westminster won two of three matches against runners up North Shore, including a 5:2 victory on opening weekend in late September. They also won two of three matches against the defending league winners, Victoria United FC. Managed by Aubrey Sanford, the Royals continued their league success into the summer in the Canadian playdowns. Fullback Roy Cairns was the Royals’ most valuable player in the Canadian competition. Into the next season, the Royals as Canadian champions played in a onematch North American Championship at Callister Park on 12 October. Up against the American champions Chicago Falcons, the reinforced Royals won the Jack Diamond Trophy with a 5:0 victory.

1953-54

VANCOUVER CITY FC It may have gone down to the wire, but by the time the 1953-54 season wrapped up, Vancouver City FC were Pacific Coast League championship winners for the first time since 1944-45. For their efforts, Vancouver City FC collected the league’s $300 prize money. In the decisive match on 12 May 1954, Vancouver City won 4:1 over challengers North Shore United FC at Callister Park in a playoff tie breaker. Tom McHugh scored in the first half before Ken Harrison, Brian Philley and Bill Moffatt scored in the second half for the winners. Both Vancouver City and North Shore United had finished tied in the league standings with 18 points each. Vancouver City tied the year-long race on the last match of the season, a 2:1 win over Noth Shore United on 8 May. The two sides had traded goals in the first half before Harrison scored the winner in the 57th minute. On the season, Vancouver City went undefeated in four matches against their rivals from North Vancouver (three wins and one draw). Vancouver City were also sharp against the defending winners from New Westminster, posting two wins and a draw in three matches against the Royals. It all started for Vancouver City with a memorable 1:1 draw against Royals on opening weekend. The Royals, who won the Canadian title just one month earlier, held a 1-0 lead for more than an hour before McHugh scored the equaliser in the 83rd minute. Vancouver City’s team leader Denny Rogers finished fourth in the league scoring race with eight goals. Philley was second on the team with seven goals while both Harrison and McHugh were tied for third with six goals. Other notable stars in the 1953-54 City squad were George Bogdanovich, Ernie Durante, Joe Jordan, and Pat Philley.

PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE 10-GOAL TEAMS Vancouver St. Andrews FC were the first team to score 10 goals in a single match: a 10:0 win over Nanaimo City FC on 5 April 1947. Nine years later, they weren’t so lucky when they lost 10:1 to North Shore on 20 July 1956. The single-match record was finally broken on 17 February 1973 when, as part of the league’s interlocking schedule, Victoria West United won 11:1 over lower division Columbia Olympics. 68

John Halley was the Royals star in the decisive match, scoring a hat trick in the 17 August 1957 final at Callister Park. After Alex MacKay opened the scoring on a penalty, Halley scored three times for the 4:3 winners. Halley finished tied for second in the league scoring race with 10 goals. The Hales’ Art Hughes led the league with 15 goals, including a hat trick in that championship match. Led by manager Cecil Goodheart, the Westminster Royals collected $600 for first place while the Hales won $300 for second place. During the season, the Royals also won the 1957 Anderson Cup and the first edition of the Shrine Cup. After losing their first three league matches of the season, the Royals got on a roll and won nine of the next 10 including the final. In head-to-head matches with Hale-Co FC, the Royals won four of five league matches, including a big 4:0 win on 10 August that clinched Second Half honours. In June, both the Royals and Hales supplied Canada with the bulk of the national team: Roy Cairns, David Stothard, Pat Philley, and Gogie Stewart from the Royals; Ken Pears, Jack Steele, Brian Philley, Art Hughes and Normie McLeod from the Hales. From that group, only Pat Philley did not finish the season with the Royals.

The Westminster Royals won two matches to capture Canada Soccer’s Championship in 1958. Tony Crisp and Art Bennett were the goalscorers in the 20 September final over Winnipeg Scottish at Callister Park.

The Hales won the title on 27 September at Callister Park, albeit it took three goals in extra time to knock off their challengers. Neil McEachnie scored the winner in the 107th minute, his league-best 24th goal of the season. Normie McLeod then added two more goals for a 4:1 a.e.t. victory. Led by McEachnie, the Hales became just the second team to score more than 70 goals in a Pacific Coast League season. Their 71 goals were just eight back of the record set by St. Andrews FC in 1946-47. On the season, the Hales won three of five league matches against North Shore Carling’s, including the championship final. They also won three of four league matches against the Westminster Royals, the two-time defending league champions who also captured the 1958 Canadian title.

It was a last big hurrah for manager Petrie, who had shrewdly put together his cast of stars. Amazingly, eight of them went on to win more titles with other teams in the 1960s: Ken Pears, David Stothard, Jack Steele, Doug Greig, Art Hughes, Jim Blundell, Terry McKibbin, and Keith Smith.

Two years after winning a national title, manager Don Petrie led Vancouver Hale-Co FC to the 1958 Pacific Coast League championship. The Hales dominated the First Half, slipped a little in the Second Half, then won the $600 league prize in the final match over North Shore Carling’s.

The Royals last win of the season - their seventh consecutive before the season was cut short - was a 3:1 victory over Vancouver Continentals on 26 July 1959. Goals were scored by Art Hughes, Mike Kuczi and Gogie Stewart. The Royals finished eight points clear of Victoria Evcoe and North Shore Carling’s. In the shortened season, the Royals had already beaten both Victoria and North Shore twice, with only an opening weekend loss to North Shore on 18 April. That defeat was actually Westminster’s only loss of the 1959 Pacific Coast League season. Hughes finished first in the goalscoring race with 14 goals while teammate Kuczi finished second with 10 goals. It marked the first time in a decade that both the winner and runner up played for the same team. Led by their manager Jack Spry, the Westminster Royals also featured goalkeeper Ken Pears, fullbacks David Stothard and Roy Cairns, and inside forwards Gogie Stewart and Eddie Bak. Alongside the league championship, the Royals won the 1959 Shrine Cup and, in the Canadian playdowns, both the BC and Western finals. They lost the Canadian final to the Montréal Canadian Alouettes, a professional team that was said to have cost $22,000 to assemble (including seven South Americans). Hughes and Stewart scored in the opening five minutes before the Montréal turned things around for a 3:2 victory.

The Royals clinched the championship with one match remaining in their schedule. Already First Half winners, Westminster won the Second Half on 23 April 1961 with a 4:0 win over North Shore Carling’s. Tony Crisp and Gogie Stewart each scored a brace in the victory at Callister Park. Crisp led the Pacific Coast League with 16 goals while Stewart was named the league’s most valuable player. Goalkeeper Merv Schweitzer led the league with clean sheets. Other notable stars in the Royals lineup were Roy Cairns, David Stothard, Bob Lewis, and Ron Paton. Behind Crisp, Stuart Crossan finished second on the team with eight goals. On the season, the Royals had identical records of three wins and one draw in four league matches against both St. Andrews FC (the league runners up) and North Shore Carling’s (the defending league champions). After winning the 1960 Canadian title in October (just three weeks after their 1960-61 league debut), the Royals won the 1961 Anderson Cup in February and then the Pacific Coast League championship in April. As league winners, the Royals represented Canada in the first edition of the Pacific Coast International Championship for the J.F. Kennedy Cup.

VANCOUVER CANADIANS The Vancouver Canadians (né St. Saviours FC) won the 1962-63 Pacific Coast League championship, the organisation’s fourth title in 19 seasons. The Canadians won the league by three points over defending winners Firefighters FC. The Canadians clinched the title with one match remaining in their season. At Callister Park, Neil McEachnie scored the lone goal in the Canadians 1:0 victory over Wallace Pilsener on 1 May 1963. McEachnie and Normie McLeod co-led the Canadians with 13 goals each, both runners up in the league scoring race behind Jim Blundell of the Firefighters (19). Ken Ferrier scored seven while Bill Nicol scored six. Other stars on the team included Don Boyd, Bob Coyle and Ivo Katnich. In three head-to-head league matches, Canadians and Firefighters were even with a win, a draw, and a loss each. The Canadians and Columbus FC also shared the same record against each other. For the first time, the championship schedule was followed by a playoff series for the Top Star Trophy. The top four teams advanced to the playoff, with the Canadians falling to fourth-place Columbus FC in the semi-finals. Columbus then lost to Firefighters in the final match.

1964-65

VANCOUVER FIREFIGHTERS FC Vancouver Firefighters FC won the Pacific Coast League championship in 1964-65, the club’s second of three consecutive league titles. Firefighters won the league with 36 points, five points clear of runners up Vancouver Canadians. The Firefighters clinched the championship with their biggest win of the season, a 6:0 victory over North Shore at Callister Park on 15 May 1965. Jim Blundell scored a hat trick, Art Hughes scored twice, and North Shore conceded an own goal. Unfortunately, the match ended with a nasty fight, with Gogie Stewart sending North Shore’s John Woods to the hospital with a broken jaw and concussion. It was the last straw for the 36-year old Stewart, who was later suspended and never played again in the Pacific Coast League. In four league matches between the best two teams, Firefighters won the series with two wins and a draw against the Vancouver Canadians. Against the reigning Canadian champions Columbus FC, Firefighters won all four league matches. During the season, the Firefighters also enjoyed an 11-match unbeaten streak. The Firefighters’ two best scorers were Jim Blundell (16 goals) and Art Hughes (15), respectively second and third in the league scoring race behind Bobby Smith of Columbus (19). Goalkeeper Ken Pears led the league in clean sheets. Alongside the 1964-65 league championship, the Firefighters won the 1965 Anderson Cup in April, the 1965 BC Province Cup in June, and the 1965 Canadian Amateur Championship for the Challenge Trophy in late September.

TEAMS CHANGE THEIR NAMES FOR SPONSORS Starting in the 1950s, Pacific Coast League teams often changed their name for sponsors. Beer was the most popular example, notably brand names Blue, Canadian, Carling’s, Labatt, Molson, O’Keefe, and Pilsener. 90

Vancouver Firefighters FC won their third-straight Pacific Coast League championship in 1965-66, running away with the title over second-place Columbus FC. The Firefighters won 17 of 21 matches and won the title by 10 points clear of Columbus. The Firemen clinched the title with three matches remaining, in fact getting the good news on a day in which they weren’t even playing. The Victoria 1:0 win over Columbus at Royal Athletic Park assured the Firefighters the championship. One day later on 27 March 1966, they celebrated with a 2:1 win over Burnaby Villa at Callister Park. Tom Millar and Art Hughes were the goalscorers for the winners.

1966-67 VICTORIA O’KEEFE

Victoria O’Keefe won the Pacific Coast League championship for the first time in 15 years in 1966-67, the first of back-to-back titles. Victoria won the championship by two points over runners up Vancouver Columbus FC. Victoria O’Keefe (né Victoria United FC) clinched the title in their secondlast match of the season, a 2:1 win over the University of British Columbia. Down 0-1, Jim Menzies scored the equaliser while Duncan McCaig scored the winner in the 26 March 1967 match at Macdonald Park on Vancouver Island. From the start of the season, Victoria O’Keefe strung together a five-month, 15-match unbeaten streak from 18 September to 18 February. After a loss to Victoria, Columbus kept pace with a 14-match unbeaten streak from 2 October to 5 February. Victoria, however, had the edge thanks to that 3:0 victory over Columbus on 24 September 1966. Jim Schulz, Peter Brett and Menzies were the Victoria goalscorers. The other two Victoria-Columbus league matches in 1966-67 ended in draws. Against the three-time defending champions Firefighters, Victoria O’Keefe won all three matches, including a 3:0 win on 8 October. Menzies, the former pro from Scotland, led Victoria O’Keefe with 12 goals, one back of league leader Sergio Zanatta. Don McIntosh was second on the team with seven goals. Goalkeeper Barry Sadler finished second in the league with nine clean sheets. Former league MVP David Stothard was another one of the stars on the team. Led by manager Fred Magee, Victoria O’Keefe followed up their league title by winning the international J.F. Kennedy Cup final.

MORE HONOURS FOR FIREFIGHTERS Despite losing the league for first time in four years, the Firefighters still lifted silverware during the 1966-67 season: their ninth BC Province Cup. 96

After winning just two of their first eight matches, Victoria United came from behind to win the championship. They won their next eight games and finished the season 10 matches undefeated. After losses to the University of British Columbia in September and November, Victoria finally got the edge with a 2:1 home win on 24 February 1968. Paul and Jim Menzies were the goalscorers. That February victory was key to Victoria’s championship season. Teenager Ike MacKay led the Islanders with eight goals, fourth best in the league scoring race. Key additions to the Victoria lineup included Dick Joyce, Brian Robinson, Ray Telford, and Peter Wilson.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

THE LAST KENNEDY CUP CHAMPIONS Victoria O’Keefe were at their best across two Pacific Coast League seasons in 1966-67 and 1967-68. Alongside their two championships, they also won the last Pacific Coast International Championship for the J.F. Kennedy Cup in 1967. Playing in Vancouver against teams from California and Mexico, the reinforced Victoria O’Keefe side won 2:1 over the Mexican Selects in the final at Callister Park on 7 May. Substitute Joe Alexis scored the winner in the 82nd minute. From 1961 to 1967, British Columbia teams won three of seven finals: in 1962 and 1966 by Firefighters and in 1967 by Victoria. Other Canadian representatives were Westminster Royals in 1961, Canadians in 1963, BC All-Stars in 1964, and Firefighters in 1965. 97

PACIFIC COAST SEASONS

Victoria clinched the title in their last match of the season, a big 5:0 win over Burnaby Villa at Callister Park on 6 April 1968. Barry Sadler posted the clean sheet while Peter Brett, George Paul, Peter Wilson, and Dick Joyce (two) scored the goals.

LEGENDS

Victoria O’Keefe won their second-consecutive Pacific Coast League championship in 1967-68, this time beating the UBC Thunderbirds by a single point in the standings. Victoria were the fifth different team to win consecutive championships in the league.

FROM CALLISTER PARK TO EMPIRE FIELD More than half the Pacific Coast League matches were played at Callister Park, the long-time home of soccer in Vancouver. That’s well over 1,000 matches. The first match - the first ever in the new league - was played on 23 September 1939 when the stadium was still known as Con Jones Park. Pacific Coast League matches were played at Callister Park from 1939 to 1942, then again from 1945 to 1970. The last league match was played on 3 May at the end of the 1969-70 season. From 1970-71 onwards, league matches in Vancouver were predominantly played at Empire Field. 99

1968-69

VANCOUVER COLUMBUS FC At long last, Vancouver Columbus FC finally won their first Pacific Coast League championship in 1968-69. Runners up four times in the league and winners of just about every other competition including the Canadian Amateur Championship, Columbus FC ran away with the 1968-69 league title by six points over runners up UBC Thunderbirds. Leaving nothing to chance, the Italians clinched the title with four matches remaining in their schedule. One week after defeating challengers UBC, Columbus made it official with a 6:0 win over Croatia at Callister Park on 6 April 1969. Peter Greco posted the clean sheet while Sergio Zanatta (two), Alan Bristowe, and brothers Vanni (two) and Sam Lenarduzzi scored goals for Columbus. Columbus split their season series against both the University of British Columbia and two-time defending champions Victoria O’Keefe (one win, one draw and one loss against each). They also won all three matches against their rivals Firefighters, albeit two by protest or forfeit. Team leader Vanni Lenarduzzi finished fourth in the league scoring race with 14 goals. Stars on the team included Sam Lenarduzzi, Greco, Zanatta, Jim Berry, Steve Djorić, Bob Hazeldine, and Gene Vazzoler. Peter Simpson won the Austin Delany Memorial Trophy as most valuable player in the Pacific Coast League. Alongside the 1968-69 league championship, Columbus won the Top Star Trophy, the BC Province Cup, and the Challenge Trophy as Canadian champions.

The Italians clinched the title with one match remaining in their schedule. In the decisive match on 1 March 1970, Peter Greco posted the clean sheet as Columbus won 1:0 victory over eighth-place Paul’s Tailors FC. Lateseason pick up Bobby Smith scored the winner. Columbus started the season with five wins while challengers Croatia actually got out in front with seven straight wins. In the first head-to-head meeting, the two sides drew 0:0 on 7 December at Callister Park. Seven weeks later on 25 January, Columbus won 1:0 on a second-half goal by Victor Kodelja. It was the first of three-straight losses for Croatia. Greco led the league with 12 clean sheets in 16 matches as Columbus outscored their opponents 33-4. Greco’s 12 clean sheets were just two back of the league record set by Barry Sadler in 1968-69. Sergio Zanatta led the team with eight goals. Other notable stars on the team included Jim Berry, Bob Hazeldine, Sam Lenarduzzi, Peter Simpson, and Gene Vazzoler. After manager Joseph Csabai resigned in November, Peter Mainardi took over and led the team to the championship. Just one week before the 1969-70 season, Columbus won the 1969 Canadian Amateur Championship. After the season wrapped up on 28 March, Columbus won the 1970 Inter-League Cup on 26 April and the 1970 Top Star Trophy on 3 May.

1970-71

VANCOUVER COLUMBUS FC Vancouver Columbus FC won their third-consecutive Pacific Coast League championship in 1970-71. They won the league title by just two points over former two-time champions Victoria United FC. Two weeks after a pivotal 0:0 draw with their challengers, the Italians clinched the title in their last match of the season on 9 May 1971 at Empire Field. Columbus won their last three matches, with league MVP Giorgio Zambrano scoring in each victory while goalkeeper Peter Greco posted consecutive clean sheets. Despite missing eight matches with injury, Zambrano finished second in the league scoring race by just one goal. Zambrano scored 16 goals while Victoria’s Ike MacKay scored 17. Victoria United actually had the upper hand in the three league matches against Columbus (one win and two draws). They also enjoyed a longer unbeaten streak at 15 matches including nine wins in a row. Steady Columbus, though, overtook their rivals in the last six matches of the season when they won 11 points compared to Victoria’s six. Notable stars on the Columbus squad included Greco, Zambrano, Franco Castellano, Sam and Vanni Lenarduzzi, Peter Simpson, Bruce Wilson, and Sergio Zanatta. Led by manager Peter Mainardi, Columbus FC collected $750 for winning the league championship.

1972-73

WESTMINSTER BLUES SC Westminster Blues won the 1972-73 Pacific Coast League championship by a single point over Victoria West United FC. After starting the season with just two wins on five matches, the Blues strung together a 13-match unbeaten streak, including eight-straight wins to end the season. Eight days after a pivotal 1:0 win over their Victoria challengers, the Blues clinched the title with a 6:0 win over Khalsa in their last match of the season on 8 April 1973. Gary Thompson and Ron McDonald scored two goals each while John Connor (who also scored against Victoria) and Joe Liddle scored one goal each. Across an interlocking schedule, the Blues were perfect in six matches against the lower division teams while posting eight wins, one draw, and three losses in 12 matches against Pacific Coast League teams. They earned a draw and win in two league matches against Victoria West United. While Thompson led the league in goals, Robin Davies led the league in clean sheets. Thompson, McDonald, Connor, Gerry Heaney and Sandy Beveridge were all named to the league’s year-end all-star team.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● Frank Ambler was at his best in 1946-47, scoring a league record 33 goals as Vancouver St. Andrews FC ran away with the Pacific Coast League title while also winning the Mainland Cup, the Cromie Cup, the Province Cup and the 1947 Dominion of Canada Football Championship. He scored in both matches of the 1947 Canadian final over Winnipeg. A multi-sport athlete, he was “one of Vancouver’s most popular athletes (who) starred in baseball, soccer and lacrosse.” He was the league’s third best scorer throughout the 1940s, in all scoring 121 goals from 1940-41 to 1955-56. As noted in a 1951 all-star program, he was “shifty and clever, with a flare for the unexpected; extremely quick over the first five yards and seldom outjumped in the air; a real opportunist.”

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● Eddie Bak was just the second player to win five Canadian titles when Vancouver Firefighters FC won their first title in 1965. Bak joined Roy Cairns in the record books, with whom Bak shared the Westminster Royals dressing rooms in the 1958 and 1960 finals. An inside forward who later switched to fullback, he was a nine-time all-star in a 12-year span during which he won five Pacific Coast League titles and two Pacific Coast International Championships for the Kennedy Cup. After he died in a car crash at just 33 years of age, Jeff Cross wrote that Bak was “one of the most stylish defenders in the league (and) had been a stalwart of the Firefighters since the mid-fifties and one of the most likable personalities in the game.” The Firefighters retired his jersey number 5.

That Canadian title was his swan song as a player, as he swiftly retired at age 29 and even turned down a chance to play in FIFA World Cup Qualifiers the following year. Cowan earned all-star selections both before (1949) and after (1955, 1956) his career in Scotland, including an All Canada selection in 1956. In his return match at the start of the 1954-55 season, he scored twice from the penalty spot in a big 5:3 win.

Edmunds was a long-time hero in Nanaimo sports, notably helping the City side reach the national final in 1925 and 1935. When Nanaimo City FC won the Canadian title in 1927, Edmunds was only missing on account of a summer-long tour with Canada’s national team to Australia. Wrote the Toronto Telegram in 1927, Edmunds was “without an equal in (his) position” of fullback. Echoed teammate Neil MacFarlane, he “was one of the best fullbacks that ever played with Nanaimo City.”

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● Vancouver’s young Buzz Parsons was the offensive sparkplug that led Eintracht SC to the 1971 Canada Soccer Amateur Championship. After scoring twice against Edmonton and then the Semi-final, extra-time winner against Winnipeg, he assisted on the opening goal of the Canadian final, an Eintracht 3:1 victory over Windsor. At the international level, Parsons led Canada in goalscoring across the 1971 Olympic Qualifiers and Pan American Games. Wrote Jim Matheson that year, he “is one of the best soccer players in the nation. He controls play from midfield like few players in the country.” A few years later, he was again Canada’s top goalscorer, this time across FIFA World Cup Qualifiers from 1976 through 1977.

As noted in a 1951 all-star program, “one of the most popular players in Canada and one of the greatest inside lefts in the country in his prime; his left-footed shot has been the terror of goalkeepers for 25 years.”

At the heart of the 1960s when European touring teams visited British Columbia, the smooth Vazzoler was a four-time all-star in a six-year span.

He was an eight-time all-star selection over that 13-year span, although allstar teams weren’t always selected during the War years and he spent the 1946-47 season overseas playing in England. Whittaker was the major catch of the 1948-49 season, transferring from Vancouver City to North Shore United in late March 1949. He helped the Reds win the Mainland Cup on 21 May, the Pacific Coast League title on 11 June (he scored four goals), and the Province Cup on 25 June.

Wilson was eventually switched from inside forward to fullback after which he became a Canadian legend at the international and professional levels. A Concacaf champion in 1985, he captained Canada at the 1984 Olympic Games in USA and 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico. He retired as Canada’s all-time leader with 57 international “A” appearances.
