In 1966, a group of American and Canadian sports entrepreneurs, led by Jack Kent Cooke, formed the United Soccer Association with the intention of organizing a professional soccer league. Without any players of its own, it opted to import whole teams from Europe and South America. Wolverhampton Wanderers, who had won promotion to the English First Division at the end of the 1966/67 season subsequently represented the Los Angeles franchise. LA Wolves went on to become the inaugural champions, beating Washington Whips (Aberdeen) 6-5 in the championship final at the LA Memorial Coliseum. #NBCSports #PremierLeague #Wolves
