While he did not know much about soccer, Michael Quilty coached his daughter’s school team to spend time with her. In 1996, the team signed this soccer ball to celebrate their first season. Five years later, on September 11, Lieutenant Quilty responded to the World Trade Center with Ladder Company 11. He was 42 years old. This soccer ball is now part of “The World’s Game: Soccer and 9/11” at the #911Museum, which explores the ways soccer brought people together after 9/11. Access is included with your Museum ticket.
