In 1975 Portland was awarded an expansion team in the North American Soccer League. The Portland Timbers were successful on the field in their first season and the love affair between Portlanders and the Timbers was set.
It was August 12, 1975 and the Seattle Sounders were in town for the quarterfinal playoff game at Multnomah Stadium (PGE Park) which was packed with over 31,000 supporters. The game played to a 1-1 draw at the end of regular time. A sudden death overtime ensued and the Timbers won the match. Fans by the thousands poured unto the field after the long hard fought victory to celebrate.

Way back in 1995, I was super ultra and got a free ticket to the Timbers 20 Year Reunion game. I just found the ticket stub, it is in poor condition as you can see below. I have been trying to find information about this match, but I can’t find squat. I am hoping others may remember more about this match, or have found some more information.
It was a freshman in high school 15 years ago, and I remember only a little. I know there was a controversial offside call, I think against Clyde Best in the final 10 minutes. The whole crowd booed, because they thought they should let the play go on, as it was a reunion match. I am sure Timber Jim was there, but over the years the chainsaw has become synonymous with every Timbers match at PGE Park.
