The same group owns a soccer club, the Timbers, in the United Soccer League (the minor league one level below Major League Soccer). The Timbers were the name of Portland's successful franchise in the North American Soccer League from 1975 until that league folded in 1983. The NASL was soccer's top US league at the time, and was the last stop on the road for legends like Pele and Franz Beckenbauer. Portland's team usually consisted of refugees from English clubs like Jimmy Conway and Clive Charles, who would stay in Portland and coach the women's side for the University of Portland to a national championship.
