Boston Beacons
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Boston Rovers were a soccer team based out of Boston that played in the United Soccer Association. The league was made up of teams imported from foreign leagues. The Boston club was actually the Shamrock Rovers from Dublin, Ireland.
Following the 1967 season, the USA merged with the National Professional Soccer League to form the North American Soccer League with the teams from the former USA having to create their rosters from scratch. The Rovers became the Boston Beacons. Their home field was Fenway Park.
