Nomads Back to Play German League Soccer Squad
The San Diego Nomads soccer club has been resurrected--at least for one game.
The Nomads, who participated in the Western Soccer League before disbanding after the 1990 season, will play Tuesday in an exhibition against Bayer Leverkusen, the fourth-place team from Germany’s Bundesliga. The game will be played at Torrey Pines High at 7:30 p.m.
Both teams will benefit from the exhibition. Bayer Leverkusen is vacationing in San Diego and would like to turn it into a business trip.
For that reason team officials asked Coach Derek Armstrong if he could reassemble the Nomads. All proceeds from the exhibition will go toward the La Jolla Nomads Youth Organization.
The hastily assembled team includes the Sockers’ two leading scorers from this past indoor season, Paul Wright and Paul Dougherty.
Bayer Leverkusen features former East German superstar Andreas Thom; Andreas Fischer, a member of the German national team; Jorge De Amorin Campos, a current member of the Brazilian national team; Rudiger Vollborn, one of the top goalies in Germany; Austrian Florian Hinterberger, and Andrzej Buncol, a speedy forward who mastered the Nomads’ defense when the two clubs played an exhibition a few years ago.
Starting in goal for the Nomads will be the current under-18 national team starter, Kyle Campbell of Torrey Pines High.
