For some time now, Nicolai has been organizing a New England Amputee soccer team. This evening they played an abbreviated match at Gillette Stadium during halftime of the Revolution-Red Bulls match. Nico had a hat trick in the 3-2 win and both teams received a standing ovation from the crowd of 16,000+. I know this because one of my teammates was at the match and called me to share this information. Best of all, many of Nico’s students and colleagues were in attendance after the Principal at the school where he teaches arranged for discounted tickets and bus transportation to the stadium. I am hoping someone took photographs during the game and will share them in a future post if I can find any.
