I wasn't aware that he got a call up to the national team. I wish I was finding that out under better circumstances. Sad news...

Was fortunate to get to see him play while at UConn. He certainly was "The Man" back then although he had a great supporting cast. Way too soon! RIP

Just heard it on WVIT. Sad news indeed. I still can remember watching that 1981 game v. Alabama A&M.

Nice write-up in the Courant.

The summer before I entered high school was '81 and I went to Connecticut Soccer School. I played goalie and to this day I still remember Pedro peppering me with shots one morning as we waited for the day to start. It was so cool watching them in the fall win it all.
