If you’re looking for the perfect gift for the soccer fan in your family, buy an author-signed copy of “Soccer Made in St. Louis: A History of the Game in America’s First Soccer Capital,” from Reedy Press at Catholic Supply at its south St. Louis location, 6759 Chippewa. The second edition of “Soccer Made in St. Louis: A History of the Game in America’s First Soccer Capital,” brings the story of St. Louis soccer up to date since the publication of the sold-out first edition in 2011. The second edition chronicles the successful drive to bring a Major League Soccer franchise to St. Louis; tells the stories of St. Louis players such as Lori Chalupny Lawson, Vedad Ibisevic, Brad Davis and Becky Sauerbrunn, who played in World Cups in the 2010s; and adds important information about the early history of St. Louis soccer that’s come to light in the past decade.  The book is the result of material from more than a hundred sources, and interviews with 122 present and former administrators, coaches, owners and players. “Soccer Made in St. Louis” is the only history of the sport in the city that has played soccer since the 1870s and has produced 90 national champions, 78 players on the U.S. National Team, and 34 members of U.S. national soccer halls of fame. Author Dave Lange will be on hand to personalize your book. Only a few copies remain, so get yours before they’re gone! This event is free and open to the public.
