Here is a nice article on the Nanchoff family and their past and current impact on University of Akron soccer.Link
I would always sit in the stands with George and Louie. I would bring my radio on Sunday to listen to the Browns game, and they would have to have constant updates. Louie's favorite Brown -- the last non-soccer stylist, Don Cockroft. I think he dreamed of being an NFL placekicker. :D (Just like me!)

One more thing -- I really wondered about this when I read the article a couple days ago. I was SURE that the Nanchoffs emigrated from Hungary. Maybe I'm losing it, but I seem to remember reading (when the brothers were playing, in the 70s) about the family leaving during the 1956 Soviet takeover. Maybe they fled temporarily to Yugoslavia. Anyone know -- 72 Roo, you probably know this! :P
