Join us for a SASH Session on Friday, November 7 at 12 pm ET when Kevin Tallec Marston and Mike Cronin will present “Anniversaries, Soccer Origin Stories, and the Oneida football club.”
November 2025 is full of anniversaries which have shaped sporting memory and scripted a national history of all codes of “foot ball”. The Oneida Football Club of Boston will celebrate three such events including the 100th anniversary of the monument in their honor. Replete with twists and turns, Kevin Tallec Marston and Mike Cronin will explain how the surprising story of a handful of old Boston boys has become a foundational origin point for soccer in the USA.
The session will be moderated by Tom McCabe.
Tallec Marston and Cronin are co-authors of the book, Inventing the Boston Game: Football, Soccer, and the Origins of a National Myth.
