Recognized in a 50-Year Soccer History Book
The Unforgettable San Jose Earthquakes
Momentous Stories On and Off the Field — 50 Years of Soccer
By Gary Singh
The book looks back at 50 years of San Jose soccer, beginning with the arrival of the original San Jose Earthquakes in 1974. In that history, Soccer Magic Magazine appears as part of the record of Northern California soccer.
The reference matters because it is outside recognition. Soccer Magic is not only a personal archive; it was used by another writer documenting the region's soccer history.

How I Discovered It
I first learned that Soccer Magic was included in the book while attending the funeral of a longtime friend. During a conversation about local soccer history, someone mentioned that I should read the section about Soccer Magic. Until that moment, I did not know the magazine had been included.
