Fort Lauderdale Strikers (1988–94)
The Fort Lauderdale Strikers were an American soccer team established in 1988 as part of the third American Soccer League. In 1990, it moved to the American Professional Soccer League where it spent five seasons before folding in 1994. The Strikers won the 1989 ASL championship.
==History==
In October 1987, the American Soccer League announced that it had awarded a franchise to Joe Robbie which would be located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Robbie, who owned the Minnesota Strikers of the Major Indoor Soccer League announced his intentions of resurrecting the name Fort Lauderdale Strikers and hired Wim Suurbier to coach the team. The team played their home games in Lockhart Stadium.〔''ROBBIE TO OWN ASL TEAM AS STRIKERS TRY ONCE AGAIN'' Sun-Sentinel - Thursday, November 5, 1987〕 In their first season, the Strikers stormed the ASL, finishing with a 14-6 record, best in the league, before falling to the Washington Diplomats in the finals. In 1988, Robbie later sold his share in the team to Noel Lemon. In January 1989, Suurbier resigned as coach to be replaced by Thomas Rongen. In their second season the Strikers did almost as well, finishing the season at 12-8. They went on to defeat the Boston Bolts for the 1989 championship. This qualified them for the first American national outdoor soccer championship since the collapse of the North American Soccer League in 1984. On September 9, 1989, the Strikers defeated the San Diego Nomads of the Western Soccer League, 3-1, to win the title.〔(1989 National Championship )〕 Following that game, the ASL merged with the WSL to form the American Professional Soccer League. They would play five more years in that league. For the 1990 season seven home games were played at Pompano Beach Municipal Stadium and five at the Royal Palm Polo Club in Boca Raton,〔http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1990-08-25/sports/9002100652_1_fort-lauderdale-strikers-home-bays〕 after the Broward School Board denied the team access to Lockhart Stadium.〔http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1990-05-12/sports/9001070896_1_bill-veeck-mike-veeck-strikers-new-pitch〕〔http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1990-07-07/sports/9002020755_1_strikers-mike-masters-albany-capitals〕〔http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1990-07-22/sports/9002050273_1_strikers-miljce-donev-tampa-bay〕 In January 1991, the Strikers merged with the Orlando Lions. The combined team retained the Strikers name, uniforms and staff.〔''STRIKER MERGER TO STRENGTHEN TEAM'' Miami Herald, The (FL) - Friday, January 11, 1991〕 Soon after Lemons sold the team to Bryan Lockwood.
The team had an ongoing rivalry with the Tampa Bay Rowdies that stemmed from Robbie's previous Strikers team's rivalry with same Rowdies, while playing in the NASL.〔http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1988-04-30/sports/8801270089_1_rodney-marsh-strikers-coach-tampa-bay-rowdies〕〔http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1988-08-13/sports/8802160734_1_rodney-marsh-tampa-bay-rowdies-lemon〕
