As a subset of World Soccer Trivia - US Soccer Trivia:

Does anyone know who's father use to say, "Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'"? Bonus points if you were born after 1970. Even more bonus points if you can name the team(s) he played for.

Kyle Rote Jr. Cosmos and maybe a team in Texas?

You get half the points, I'm guessing no extra bonus points because you didn't mention when you were born. He played for the Dallas Tornadoes and the Houston Hurricanes (a total of 7 years in the NASL). He was the first US Citizen to be the NASL scoring leader. For you youngins, his dad, Kyle Rote Sr was a New York Giant Pro Football Star of the Pat Sommerall, Frank Gifford era. Sr. was also a spokesman for Timex and did numerous commercials with the famous "Keeps on Tickin'" line.

I thought Jr. played on the Cosmos also, with Pele, but I could not find any reference to that.

OK, history lesson over.

Sorry Coach. I was born in 1966.

and you are correct. He never played for the Cosmos. I was thinking of Ricky Davis.
