A few weeks earlier the Sting had announced they were leaving the NASL after the playoffs concluded.[9] Just before the finals got underway, Toye made some comments regarding his hope for an all-Canadian finals that were taken by some in the media to be "anti-Sting" instead. Toye, who himself was part of the fight to keep the league afloat, appeared to have defused the situation during a half-time interview of Game 1 of the finals in Chicago.[10] However, in the immediate aftermath of the Sting's championship clinching victory in Game 2, his actions appeared to be those of a sore loser. He refused to honour the long-standing tradition of entering the winning locker room to congratulate the victors. Toye followed that up by taking verbal jabs at Chicago coach Willy Roy and star Karl-Heinz Granitza in the press, referring to them as "cheats" and the Sting as "unworthy champions"[11] among other things. He also said that Toronto did not deserve to lose. Not surprisingly, Granitza responded in-kind. In the end, the lack of sportsmanship mattered little, as Chicago walked off into the sunset with the trophy and the NASL ceased operations the following year with Toye as its interim president.[12][13][14][15] After the sudden death of Howard J. Samuels, Toye was appointed interim president of the NASL in December 1984.[15] The league ceased operations the following Spring. He became a senior consultant for CONCACAF, and in 2009 was inducted into that organisation's Hall of Fame.[3] MiscRegarding the use of the word "soccer", Toye noted that even English people called the game "soccer" interchangeably with "football" until the second half of the 20th century. "A quirk of British culture is the permanent need to familiarize names by shortening them. ... Toye [said] 'They took the third, fourth and fifth letters of Association and called it SOCcer.'"[16] In March 2016, Toye began writing a column for Soccerama, a British soccer quarterly magazine.[17] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Exeter to the Cosmos – Clive's journey was out of this world|url=http://www.thisisdevon.co.uk/Exeter-Cosmos-ndash-Clive-s-journey-world/story-12889838-detail/story.html|publisher=This Is Devon|accessdate=21 July 2013|date=6 July 2011}} {{Baltimore Bays}}{{New York Cosmos}}{{Chicago Sting}}{{Toronto Blizzard}}{{National Soccer Hall of Fame members}}{{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Toye, Clive}}2. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://national.soccerhall.org/builders/Clive_Toye.htm |title=Clive Toye – Class of 2003 |publisher=National Soccer Hall of Fame |accessdate=8 November 2009 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20091204073606/http://national.soccerhall.org/builders/Clive_Toye.htm |archivedate=4 December 2009 |df= }} 3. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.concacaf.com/page/ConfederationDetail/0,,12813~1858224,00.html |title=James, Toe, Rocha to be enshrined in CONCACAF Hall of Fame |publisher=CONCACAF |date=14 April 2009 |accessdate=8 November 2009}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYEv7tjwWdo|title=1974-08-25 NASL FINAL Los Angeles Aztecs vs Miami Toros|last=NASL 1968–1984 SOCCER HISTORY|date=19 September 2016|publisher=YouTube}} 5. ^North American Soccer League Championship, Leg 1 program, published September 1968 6. ^{{Cite news| url =https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=uMNaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=olkDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4782,5058279&dq=clive+toye&hl=en|title=Cosmos president Toye steps down|publisher=St. Petersburg Times |date = 14 June 1977}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ZuBRAAAAIBAJ&sjid=hYQMAAAAIBAJ&pg=1098,4378863&dq=toye+quits+chicago&hl=en|title=Youngstown Vindicator – Google News Archive Search|publisher=Google News}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=MP1cAAAAIBAJ&sjid=71kNAAAAIBAJ&pg=5176,3384928&dq=clive+toye&hl=en|title=Record-Journal – Google News Archive Search|publisher=Google News}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=CEpEAAAAIBAJ&sjid=NrIMAAAAIBAJ&pg=3904,320042&dq=sting+leave+nasl&hl=en|title=The Albany Herald – Google News Archive Search|publisher=Google News}} 10. ^{{YouTube|te2aKJWEpLQ}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ViozAAAAIBAJ&sjid=RO8FAAAAIBAJ&pg=1393,1734763&dq=toye+quits+chicago&hl=en|title=Ottawa Citizen – Google News Archive Search|publisher=Google News}} 12. ^{{cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=E3UfAAAAIBAJ&sjid=DHIFAAAAIBAJ&pg=1307,762232&dq=margetic+leads+sting&hl=en|title=The Day – Google News Archive Search|publisher=Google News}} 13. ^https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=omsaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=JioEAAAAIBAJ&pg=7072,2646594&dq=sting+leave+nasl&hl=en 14. ^{{cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=yLxPAAAAIBAJ&sjid=91EDAAAAIBAJ&pg=3896,791145&dq=sting+leave+nasl&hl=en|title=The Bryan Times – Google News Archive Search|publisher=Google News}} 15. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=BqJlAAAAIBAJ&sjid=nowNAAAAIBAJ&pg=1334,1716110&dq=clive+toye&hl=en|title=The Sun – Google News Archive Search|publisher=Google News}} 16. ^Rogers, Martin.
