In ‘47, an amateur St. Louis club changed sponsors
from Correnti Cleaners to Joe Simpkins Ford - and
altered the course of US soccer history. In ‘48 the
club beat Joe Gaetjens and NY Brookhattan for their
first US Open Cup title. In ‘50. they won it
all in hallowed Mark’s Stadium, hosted
Manchester United and landed 5 players
on the 1950 US World Cup roster. In ‘55
Simpkins assembled a perfect 13-0-0
record in a new league, mounted
another drive deep into the US Open
Cup, and landed league MVP honors
for Frank Borghi - the ’keeper made
famous by shutting out the English in
the World Cup five years before. In ‘56
Simpkins won their last league title.
When ’57 rolled around, Simpkins only
foes were General Motors and Chrysler.
