The New York Cosmos were an American soccer club based in New York. The side was originally created in 1971 by brothers Ahmet and Nesuhi Ertegun, with the support of Warner Brothers president Steve Ross. The new team entered the North American Soccer League (NASL), which was in its fourth season. Bankrolled by parent company Warner Communications, the Cosmos became the NASL's most successful side, winning a record five championships in front of the league's largest crowds. The team included international stars signed from European and South American clubs, including Brazilians Pelé and Carlos Alberto, West German Franz Beckenbauer, Italian striker Giorgio Chinaglia and many others. When the team was sold by Warner in 1983, to a Chinaglia-owned consortium, the Cosmos' financial resources were reduced dramatically, causing the sale of the majority of the team's key players. As a result, on-the-field performance also declined. The Cosmos also entered the Major Indoor Soccer League for the 1984–85 indoor season, but left mid-year after disappointing gates. After the NASL folded in March 1985, the team attempted to operate independently but played its final game in 1985 before folding. A new incarnation of the Cosmos, formed in 2010,〔 is scheduled to make its debut in the new second-tier North American Soccer League (contested since 2011) during the 2013 season. ==Key== ;Key to regular season record *Conf = Conference *Div = Division *G = Games played *W = Games won *T = Games tied *L = Games lost *F = Goals for *A = Goals against *Pts = Points *GB = Games behind *% = Percentage of possible points won from wins and ties *Pos = Final regular season position ;Key to leagues, conferences, divisions and cups *NASL = North American Soccer League *MISL = Major Indoor Soccer League *TC = Trans-Atlantic Challenge Cup *Atl = Atlantic Conference *Nat = National Conference *Am = American Conference *N = Northern Division *E = Eastern Division ;Key to play-off rounds and Trans-Atlantic Cup *R1 = First round *SF = Semi-finals *DRU = Division runners-up *CRU = Conference runners-up *RU = Runners-up *C = Champions *A "minigame" is equivalent to Extra time. ;Key to scorers * Gls = Number of goals scored * Pts = Number of points scored * Players with this background and symbol in the "Name" column scored a record number of points for the club during the corresponding season.
