An attendance of 7,832 witnessed what would be the last NASL game played at Tampa Stadium, A VERY SAD DAY!!

The Sting would overcome the Rowdies 2-3, Roy Wegerle and Neill Roberts would be the last NASL Rowdies to score.

With only one road game left at the Toronto Blizzard (L 0-1), the demise of the NASL was here.

The Rowdies would finish 1984 with a W9 L15 record. A sad end to what had been a great NASL franchise.

The team this day: Mausser, Connell, Kozic, Bolitho, Thompson, Van Der Beck, S. Wegerle, R. Wegerle, Roberts, Tatu, Karpun.

Substitutes: Lee, Lindsay.

Iam missing three 1984 KICK Magazines: 5/5 - Strikers; 6/6 - VfB Stuttgart (E); 6/16 - Stoke City (E) to complete my set. Please email me if you can help.
