Independent Soccer Coverage
Published in Metro Magazine during Soccer Magic Magazine’s active years, this newspaper clipping recognized the publication as a local, independent voice for the soccer community.
The article captured what made the magazine different: it was scrappy, community-based, and committed to covering teams, players, and stories that were receiving little attention elsewhere.
Its importance comes from when it was written. This was not a retrospective published decades later—it was contemporary recognition of the magazine and the role it was playing at the time.
Short excerpt: “He publishes a scrappy alternative soccer ’zine with a local touch.”
