Sidekicks Retire No. 23, Stavrou praised by fellow Dallas legends

The Dallas Sidekicks, with the help of a number of the team's iconic figures, retired the number of one of its most significant contributors Saturday night at halftime of their game against the Tacoma Stars. In 1991, Nick Stavrou joined the Dallas Sidekicks began, and he was an integral part of the team for over a decade as a player and then many years as a coach.

Fittingly, then, the Dallas Sidekicks' Number 23, only ever worn by Stavrou, was retired by the team and will be raised to the rafters to join Gordon Jago, Tatu, Kevin Smith, Mike Powers, Doc Lawson, Krys Sobieski, Wes McLeod, and David Doyle.
