September 16: This Date in Dallas Sidekicks History

2003: The Sidekicks announced Wes McLeod's #8 will be retired in a ceremony during a halftime ceremony on January 24, 2004.

1985: The Sidekicks second Training Camp opened at the Soccer Center in Richardson.

1990:

If not for his attitude problem, Tatu could have packed his 1989-90 Most Valuable Player trophy and bid farewell to the Dallas Sidekicks.

But when the Major Soccer League club opens its seventh annual training camp on Monday (September 17), he will be there.

Despite an $18,000 pay cut, Tatu will be in camp with a big smile and the sort of attitude that goes to show he has absolutely no idea of how to be a professional athlete in a scowling, me-first sports world.
