Now You Too Can Be an NASL Champion!

CosmosRing

When youth fades, it moves to Florida. When glory fades it moves to eBay. And in some rare cases, that once shining youth and glory get a party house in Naples and move in together.

Our man MetroAG pointed out on Metrofanatic this morning that Former NY Cosmos skipper --and current Sunshine State senior citizen-- Eddie Firmani has put his 1978 and 1979 NASL Championship rings up for sale on eBay at the staggering price of $15k & $10k respectively. Basically for the same price as Nick LaBrocca's salary you can front like you where stacking chips & rocking Samba's during soccer's disco days.

Whether or not that is worth $15K depends on the potential buyer. Personally, if I wanted to go all NASL-chic I would order one of these left over Cosmos player robes that are available online. Nothing says 1970's disco glory like a single gold medallion nestled in excess chest hair that is peeking out of a terrycloth robe.
