This was coach Jim Easton's last season with the club and the club showed improvement over their inaugural season. The season started brightly with five wins including those over Seattle and Toronto at home. The rest of the season had mixed results, but the Whitecaps well and truly fell out of playoff contention by losing seven of their last ten games. Barring the 3-0 loss away to the Seattle Sounders on July 19, 1975, the games were close one goal losses. In the last two games of the season, the Whitecaps trounced Denver and San Jose 6-0 and 4-0. The Whitecaps finished at 0.500 with eleven wins and losses at fourth in the Pacific Division. Local resident Glen Johnston led the Whitecaps with eight goals and seven assists while Sam Lenarduzzi and Bruce Wilson played all 22 games. Sergio Zanatta and Barrie Mitchell also had strong seasons on the score sheet.http://www.nasljerseys.com/Rosters/Whitecaps_Rosters.htm#1975 NASL Vancouver Whitecaps Rostershttp://soccerstats.us/teams/vancouver-whitecaps/games/ Vancouver Whitecaps All-time Game Results | SoccerStats.ushttp://homepages.sover.net/~spectrum/year/1975.html The Year in American Soccer - 1975 2013-04-11 https://web.archive.org/web/20151105121106/http://homepages.sover.net/~spectrum/year/1975.html 2015-11-05 dead The Whitecaps also played a friendly match against the New York Cosmos and the newly signed Pele on July 7, 1975, with 26,495 in attendance.
