San Jose Earthquakes History
The San Jose organization was established in 1994, when San Jose became a charter member of Major League Soccer on June 15. San Jose joined Boston, Columbus, Los Angeles, New York/New Jersey, and Washington, D.C. as the first teams in MLS. Between November 1994 and June 1995, Tampa Bay, Denver, Kansas City, and Dallas were added as clubs, and the San Jose team was assigned to the Western Conference. The San Jose MLS club began its history nicknamed the "Clash," a moniker it kept for four seasons before changing the name of the organization to "Earthquakes" prior to the 2000 season, embracing the name of the former NASL franchise that had been successful in the area throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
San Jose Earthquakes Players
It was great leadership that made this team successful early. The club began to take shape on August 1, 1995, when a Bay Area soccer icon, Peter Bridgwater, was named the President and general manager of the team. Bridgwater previously served as the owner and general manager of the North American Soccer League version of the San Jose Earthquakes and was one of the founders of the Western Soccer Alliance in the mid-1980s. The 1999 season was the first season for four key members of the 2001 MLS Cup Championship squad. Midfielder Richard Mulrooney, defender Jimmy Conrad, goalkeeper Joe Cannon, and midfielder Scott Bower all debuted over the course of the year, establishing the solid foundation of the club. Mulrooney was a finalist for the MLS Rookie of the Year award. This would be the start of something great for soccer in the San Jose area.
