California Sunshine
Based out of sunny Orange County, California - you can imagine where the California Sunshine soccer team got their name. The team played their first season in the American Soccer League (ASL) in 1977 and played particularly well in 1978-1979. The 1979 team included successful soccer players like English striker Andy Chapman and American forwards Joey Fink and Poli Garcia, until losing to the Sacramento Gold during playoffs. Eventually, financial issues and changes in leadership led to their demise in the early season of 1980.
