Hartford have shown improvement from a dreadful 2023, but the bar was low and expectations were higher. Here's a look at what's not gone to plan for Brendan Burke in 2024.
In the summer of 1971 a night game at Dillon Stadium Hubert Vogelsinger scored a spectacular goal while playing for New Haven City against the Hartford Greeks . He was 30 yards from goal when a very high ball came down to his right foot. He volleyed the ball into a wall of Greek players . The ball went far in the air and down to his left foot. Once again he volleyed the ball , but this time the ball hit the crossbar and the ball went far into the air and back down to his right foot . Hubert then volleyed the ball into the top right corner of the goal., giving the keeper no chance. During the whole sequence the ball never hit the ground. The fans, mostly Greek, were amazed.
I doubt very much that any player, even the top pros, past and present , could have done what Hubert did. It took thorough knowledge of kicking a ball, practice, and an amazing ability to focus on each shot, especially using both left and right feet.
