The 30th season of Major League Soccer is just days away, so Denis, Gavin and Les are joined by Peter Welpton of the Kickaround, the finest soccer radio show in Dallas, Texas. We discuss the early days of the organisation in 1996, from announcement, team formation and branding, countdown clocks, 35 yard shoot-outs to decide drawn games, the magnificence of Carlos Valderrama's hair, and of course the kits of the first 10 clubs.
