#12 Billy Caskey

Where Did He Go?

Caskey lives in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Caskey was suspended for three years by the MISL, but did not return when that suspension was lifted. He returned to Northern Ireland and played for Glentoran, helping the Glens to 2 League Championships and 3 Irish Cup titles before retiring in 1992.

 

Record Book

Caskey scored the Game Winning Goals in three straight games at home on March 16, March 19, and March 23, 1986 against (in order) Cleveland, Baltimore, and Pittsburgh. That record stood until Tatu hit the Game Winners in four straight games in 1994.

 

Not The Way We Want to Remember Him

Caskey was suspended from the MISL on August 11, 1986 for three seasons after assaulting a referee during Game 4 of the Sidekicks Eastern Division Semi-Final series with Minnesota in 1986. This ended his indoor career. He was the first Sidekick ever to be ejected from a playoff game and to be expelled from the League.

How He Got Here

Caskey signed as a free agent on August 12, 1985.
