Jan. 23, 1974 – Connecticut Wildcats (ASL) sell leading scorer Ben Brewster to Boston Minutemen (NASL)

January 23, 2018 by frankdellapa@gmail.com

Ben Brewster totaled 11 goals in 14 games and appeared set for a career with the Connecticut Wildcats. Brewster had converted for the Wildcats in a 1-0 win over the Boston Astros on Aug. 22, 1973 and for the U.S. in a 1-0 win over Bermuda on Sept. 9, 1973. Both games were played at Hartford’s Dillon Stadium, and Brewster said he gained greater satisfaction scoring against the Astros (before a 10,093 crowd) than against Bermuda (4,200 attendance). Brewster also played for the Rhode Island Oceaneers and Boston Tea Men, and coached Boston College from 1977-87.
