Abe played in two FWL Bowls and won one ring, FWL Bowl XVI was his last ever game in a Claymores uniform. Abe was relegated to a backup with Scotland the following year and was granted a trade when he asked for one. He moved to Ohio where he was a backup TE but caught 3 td passes on just 6 receptions. He retired at the end of that season but had some great seasons late in his career including nearly 900 yards in 2011.

TOTAL Alli Abrew was originally a 5th round draft pick by Ohio, with the Glory faltering in 2001 at 2-3 Abrew had a chance in the 6th game of the season when starting QB Kurt Warner was injured. Abrew lost his first two games then won 7 straight games to lead Ohio to the playoffs. They surprised San Antonio and New York to reach FWL Bowl V but Abrew and the Glory had a poor game as they were defeated by Frankfurt.
Abrew went on to start for the Glory for the next 6 straight seasons and over that period was excellent every year. He led Ohio to the playoffs two straight times after the FWL Bowl appearance but then went 4 years without any playoffs at all. After a poor year in 2007 which he threw only 8 touchdowns he was under pressure the following year, despite playing well the Glory started 0-3 and he was benched for backup Kevin Thompson. Abrew was then shockingly cut after the season but was picked up by the Monarchs. He started several games for London late that year and threw 7 td's in his final two games which were both wins. Abrew beat Austria in the final week of the season and had one of his best games of all time (27 of 33 for 356 yards and 4 td's). Despite the great year it was another shock when Abrew was cut by London, Austria quickly moved to sign him up as they knew from the previous season in which he beat Austria the talent he had. Abrew started one game for Austria and threw 3 td's in a win over Paris. However despite being a great backup all year he was cut again, Barcelona picked him up the next year but he sat on the bench all year and was cut for the 4th time and after being on the FA list all year in 2012 he decided to retire. Abrew for a period with Ohio was an excellent QB and the late games he had with London in 2009 were superb.

He played very well late in the season in limited appearances and drew the interest of Austria. Traded to Austria he was part of a defensive line which was one of the best in the league and one with the most depth. Playing in rotation Akers always made plays despite not starting. His final game for Austria was FWL Bowl VI where he left with an FWL Bowl ring. Montreal GM David Harwood traded for Akers where he wanted him to be one of the team leaders on his defense he was building. Promising him a full time role Akers happily was traded to Montreal where he instantly made an impact on the young Machine. With Akers in the lineup Montreal went back to the playoffs and the following 3 years of his Montreal career the defense were ranked in the top 10. Akesr had a huge impact with Montreal and registered a career high and league leading 19 sacks in 2005 to be named AFC Defensive Player of the Year. It was his best ever year as Montreal won the FWL Bowl and he won his second ring. Despite an off year in 2006 he had two more great final years with Montreal and each time he won yet another FWL Bowl ring as the Machine dominated the FWL in those seasons. Akers retired surprisingly after a 10 sack season in 2008 but he went out at the top, in his career he went to the playoffs EVERY season and left the game with an amazing FOUR FWL Bowl rings. One of the best defensive line players ever. Return to top DT Chris Akins (New York Knights 2001-2008, Sacramento Surge 2009-2010) Tack Sacks Fum Int RtYds Avg Lg TD

A long time NY Knight Akins was an excellent pass rusher during his early years in the league and had 68 sacks during his first 7 seasons in the league. 3 times Akins had double-digit sacks with New York but finally after a 15 tackle 5 sacks year in 2008 Akins was surprisingly cut loose. Sacramento are often the place for vets to go to and the Surge signed Akins as a FA where he hardly played in 2009 making just 1 tackle. He saw more action the next year and had 2 sacks but decided to retire after that season. During his early years in the league he was an excellent defensive end but played on a bad NY defense for most of his career.

Alalampi went to FWL Bowl III as a rookie with Birmingham but the Fire narrowly lost to Austria in overtime. As a backup the following season he went to the AFC Championship game but Birmingham lost to the NY Knights. Despite 4 straight 1000 yard seasons he was surprisingly benched by the new Fire GM and was traded to the Sacramento Surge. Ironically Alalampi faced his former team in a wildcard game in 2005 but the Fire ran out winners. However the following season Alalampi helped the Surge win FWL Bowl X and finally Sami received his FWL Bowl ring. Alalampi retired ranked 9th all time receiving and also scored scored two touchdowns by punt return where he totalled over 1,200 yards returning punts and another 1,100 yards returning kickoffs.

TOTAL Alexander was a seldom used RB in the FWL but he did have moments of brilliance. During his first four seasons with Sacramento, Alexander never ran the ball but caught 9 passes. He then moved to Berlin where as a backup he won an FWL Bowl ring with the Thunder. A season later and due to injury Alexander started the second half of the season and played very well with 9 td's including a 77 yard td sprint. He helped the Thunder back to the EFC Game where they narrowly lost but the next year Alexander was back to being a backup and he rushed for just over 300 yards. The following season he was again a backup with Berlin but played in another EFC Championship game. His final season he was cut by Berlin but then picked up by Cologne where he saw limited action. Alexander retired after 9 seasons in the FWL but did surprisingly play in 1 AFC Game, 3 EFC Championship games and also won 1 FWL Bowl ring.

Arnold averaged over 6 sacks in his first 8 seasons in the FWL, a very impressive number for a LB. He started his career in Paris and was traded to Frankfurt the following offseason. Arnold instantly won an FWL Bowl ring with the Galaxy and started on those great Galaxy teams for many years earning a lot of success in the playoffs. With Frankfurt Arnold went to the playoffs 5 straight years, won 2 FWL Bowl rings before being surprisingly traded to Berlin. His first season with Berlin was a success, he was the missing piece on defense, the Thunder who hadnt gone to the playoffs in their first 6 seasons immediately went with Arnold in the lineup. Then a year later Arnold helped them win FWL Bowl VIII, his third FWL Bowl ring ! Despite having a great year with 7 sacks and over 60 tackles the veteran LB was amazingly benched the following year and contributed just one tackle which was on special teams. Arnold refused to play again and retired after that year which was a bad ending to a great career. In the first 8 years of the FWL Arnold was one of the top LB's around, a great pass rusher who had a lot of success.

TOTAL Aska was a former 1st round pick who had to sit on the bench for most his career until he finally got a chance and had the most impressive rushing season in the history of the league. Aska was surprisingly drafted by Frankfurt despite having All-FWL legend Bobby Phillips as their starter. Aska started on/off as a HB or FB and in his first 3 seasons only had 77 yards rushing but he caught the eye of Frankfurt GM Marco Lambert as on 4 receptions he scored 3 touchdowns and amassed 148 yards that season. The next year due to injuries Aska had a chance to start and racked up just under 500 yards, 12 td's and a 4.8 average much more impressive than Phillips. He carried on as a backup though for the next two seasons but finally in 2007 he was given teh starting role ahead of Phillips. The whole team struggled as they also had a new QB and for the first time ever in their history they failed to make the playoffs. Aska played well and scored on a 95 yard touchdown run which proved to be his career long. In 2008 with a new rookie sensation at QB, Aska had his first 1000+ yard season and also caught 70 passes as Frankfurt roared back to the playoffs. They failed in the EFC Game however but the next season was Askas best and the best season every by a RB in the league. Aska rushed for an incredible 1,721 yards, an amazing 6.1 average and scored 23 touchdowns on the ground (23 !!!) and also caught 54 passes for nearly 600 yards and another 2 touchdowns. Aska just couldnt be stopped, he had 7 100 yard rushing games that season, the most impressive which will always stand the test of time was against Barcelona. Aska rushed just 15 times for 307 yards (20.5 avg), 80td L and 5 touchdowns ! He ended the regular season with a further 177 yards on 17 carries against Rhein. Frankfurt won the FWL Bowl that season thanks to an offense featuring Aska and QB Rohan Davey. The next year defenses looked to stop Aska but that made Rohan Daveys job easier. Aska still had over 1000 yards and had a great year as Frankfurt repeated as FWL Bowl champions. 2011 proved to be his final season however, he was on/off all year, one minute rushing for 150 yards, next minute just 50. Finally after an injury in Week 9 he lost his job for the rest of the season and didnt look the same back. After the injury he rushed for just 73 yards on 26 carries in the next 4 games as a backup. Deciding that he didnt want to be a backup the next year Aska retired. Aska wont have set any career records because he started so late in his career but for that 3 year stretch Aska was the best there was. His season in 2009 goes down in history as one of the greatest performances ever in the league. In the highlights Aska just couldnt be stopped and routinely ran through tackles for huge gains.

TOTAL What can you say about Pat Barnes ?? Probably one of the greatest QB's ever to play in
the FWL. Barnes was picked first in the second ever FWL draft and he didnt let his team down at all. Originally an Ireland Celt before the team moved to Berlin, Barnes had a great rookie season despite an awful offensive line which got him sacked an FWL record 87 times which still stands to this day. He had no rushing attack to hep him but still threw for over 3,700 yards and 16 td's. The franchise eventually moved to Berlin and
Barnes had some rocky years in the defensive orientated early years in the FWL from
2000-2001. A slow start to 2003 despite two wins put Barnes on the bench for the first time in his career, backup Jay Fiedler led the team to the playoffs and it seemed Barnes wouldnt get his job back but a great training camp the following year gave him his job back and more importantly he had his best season by far with an 111.2 rating. Barnes was brilliant throughout the year and led his team to FWL Bowl in an exciting overtime win against Orlando. Barnes had an even better year the following season but lost out in the EFC Championship. In the later years of his career he was one of the best and hooked up with his favourite WR Vance Blundin for an FWL record number of touchdowns. From 2005- 2010 Barnes averaged 3,700 yards passing andhad 15 or more touchdowns every season. He had 8 straight 90+ rating seasons in his last 9 seasons and was playing the best football of his career. He led Berlin to the playoffs 5 times and also set records for everything there was, when he retired he threw for the most touchdowns and yards and his records might never be broken. In 2010 despite a poor season as the team missed the playoffs Barnes was still playing great football and had a fine year, however in 2011 Barnes suddenly looked old, he was still playing well but not up to his usual high standard. Then the unthinkable happened, just a few yards away from an amazing 45,000 Barnes was injured and would miss the rest of the season, it seemed certain Barnes would retire, however shockingly he decided to start the final game of the season, despite being Q-3 Barnes hobbled and played the whole game It says everything about Barnes that not only did the Thunder win the game but Barnes threw two touchdowns in his final ever appearance. A true pro and one of the greatest ever players the league has ever seen, Barnes did it all in an amazing career, former number 1 overall pick, was benched for a season then came back to lead his team to FWL Bowl glory, constantly set records for himself and his main target Vance Blundin. The team of 'oldies' in the final few years with Berlin (TE Fear, WR Blundin, HB Black, QB Barnes all were starting and all were in their 11th season or more) were great to watch and GM Andreas Born was very loyal to Barnes in his final few seasons when things were going bad. A terrible loss to the league that Barnes finally retired after 14 great years.

One of the best ever QB's to play the game. Barr was traded from Scotland in potentially the leagues first ever blockbuster trade early in the first ever season of the FWL. Barr played well for Austria but famous Austrian GM Mario Kreiner traded with Rhein for Josh LaRocca before the '98 season and Barr moved to Rhein. Barr excelled under GM Miguel Cuadrons leadership and Barr led the Fire to the playoffs 5 times during his 7 seasons. Barr led Rhein to two FWL Bowl's winning one in 2000 as the Fire finished the season 16-1. Barr was very accurate and never threw more than 7 ints in a season. His 119.0 rating in 2003 is still an FWL record. Barr was eventually cut after the 2004 season due to a GM change and started for two seasons with Birmingham taking the Fire to the AFC Championship game in 2005. 4 championship games, two FWL Bowls appearances (winning one) and was
named league MVP in 1999. Never threw more than 7 interceptions a season ! His amazing season in 2003 (21 td's 1 int) will probably stand forever.

Very underrated QB. Tom Beck took his team to three AFC Championship games
in a row from 2000-2002 winning one and taking the surprise Knights to the FWL Bowl.
Only FWL MVP to be on the losing side. Beck was benched when a new GM came to the team and stayed as a backup for nearly 2 seasons before finally deciding to retire at an early age. Never put up the best statistics but was a winner and the Knights only 3 winning seasons in the FWL came with Tom Beck at QB. Made the All-FWL team in Season 5.

Much like his defensive partner in New York, Phil Haynes, Biedermann was another great NY Knight and FWL veteran who was let go near the end of his career as he was deemed too old. Biedermann was one of the top tackling machine early in his FWL career and seemed that he would smash every FWL record there was for tackles, after his rookie season for the next EIGHT seasons he had over 80 tackles as he was the team leader for the Knights. He was a tackling machine and also picked up a lot of sacks as the LB1 in New York. Surprisingly he was then benched in 2008 despite all those seasons of 80+ tackles and was cut. Sacramento, long a home for veterans signed Biedermann originally as a backup but he played so well he saw a lot of action and had 4 sacks and nearly 50 tackles. His record of 8 consecutive years of 80+ tackles might never be broken. He retired ranked 2nd all time with 776 tackles.

Biggers one record he did not like was in 1998 for Raleigh when he returned a kickoff 96 yards against Amsterdam but fell over without being touched two yards from the endzone. The longest ever kickoff return not for a touchdown ! One of his best games was against Frankfurt in the wildcard round in 1999. Bigger led the DarkKnights to a win over the reigning FWL champions Frankfurt Galaxy thanks to his 5 catches for 130 yards performance. A great TE who in his final FWL season at age 36 caught his longest ever pass of 90 yards. Surprisingly only caught 6 td's in 10 seasons.

He was named All-FWL four times during his career and led his team to the playoffs 6 straight years. In 2011 he led his team to FWL Bowl XV where they narrowly lost to Austria 20-17 in overtime. Bishop threw 2 touchdowns and had his team in a position to win it late but conservative play calling gave the Riders a late FG to tie the game and they lost in overtime. After a very poor 2013 season with just 9 td's and 7 ints the Riders benched Bishop who only played in a few mop up performances but did start the Week 14 clash. He retired after 12 seasons and threw for over 32,000 yards and 146 touchdowns. Return to top HB Jarrett Payton (London Monarchs 2010, Ohio Glory 2011- Att Yds Avg Lg TD Rec Yds Avg Lg TD

Biyong retired ranked 5th all time with nearly 9000 yards and close to 650 catches. Biyong teamed up with former teammate Walter Wilson to form a great duo in Birmingham. Biyong was also a fine returner and retired 5th all time with over 11,000 yards ! He also had nearly 1,200 yards in punt returns and just over 1,200 yards in kickoff returns. Biyong went to the playoffs 4 times during his Ohio career and also played in FWL Bowl V. In 2006 Jaques Biyong set an FWL record with 1,654 yards receiving beating a 9 year FWL record set way back in 1997.

TOTAL Michael Black started the first few seasons as a backup in New York and in his first season played in FWL Bowl IV. Finally in his third year Black started and was brilliant, he had over 1000 yards rushing, over 72 catches and scored 17 touchdowns. The next season his stats dropped slightly but he still had a great year and scored 12 touchdowns. The next two years he topped 1000 yards again and scored in those two years 33 touchdowns, Black was a touchdown maching in his first 4 seasons starting with 49 touchdowns on the ground alone ! Black started to show signs of slowing down in 2006-2007 but still had over 800 yards rushing in each year and also caught 75 passes for nearly 900 yars in 2006. Finaly he was surprisingly traded to Berlin in 2008 but he instanly helped them to the playoffs and played in the Wildcard round. In 2009 Black had his best season in years with nearly 950 yars rushing and 73 catches however in 2010 everything went wrong for Berlin, the team aged badly, the offensive line couldnt open up any holes and Black had a terrible year. His final season was even worse, again with a poor line in front of him Black rushed for just over 500 yards with a long of 19 and an average of just 2.3 which was hard to watch. He proved it wasnt him though and was more to do with the poor play of the offensive line as he showed his speed with an 83 yard touchdown reception. He decided to retire after 12 great seasons in the FWL and when he retired was ranked the 2nd best all time rusher with nearly 8700 yards, he scored 97 touchdowns on the ground and also had 665 receptions which was ranked 8th all time. A great player Black had 10 plays of over 60+ yards in his career and was one of the best RB's ever in the FWL.

An excellent receiver Blount could have put up some excellent numbers had he played for one of the contenders in the FWL. He took over the starting job in 2002 his second season and was on the first ever Admirals team who had a winning season, he rushed for over 800 yards and caught 58 passes. His next year was his best as he rushed for nearly 850 yards and caught 87 passes for over 900 yards, at the time a record for a RB which was only beaten many years later. He had a poor season in 2005 but still caught 57 passes. However Blount was traded to EFC rivals LOndon where he started in 2006. His first season with London he helped lead the team to the playoffs but was back to being a backup the following year. In 2008 he started again and had nearly 500 yards as he shared the starting role but the next two seasons he was relegated to backup and in 2010 after just 2 carries all year he decided to retire after a 10 year career in the FWL.

Blundin arrived at Sacramento as a number 1 pick but due to some great WR's on the Surge squad already he had to bide his time as a backup. He was finally moved to WR1 in 2004 and the team started enjoying a great ride of success in the playoffs. Blundin had his first 1000 yard season in 2004 and had a string of 7 1000 yard seasons in a row before retiring. During his time as a starter Blundin was a speedster and averaged over 15 yards during his starting years. He scored a touchdown in FWL Bowl X as he collected a ring as the Surge reigned supreme and despite some lean years from 2009-2010 Blundin carried on playing very well and had over 1000 yards both seasons. He retired surprisingly aged 32 and finished his FWL career as the 3rd leading WR of all time with over 700 catches and over 10,000 yards, at the time only the 4th WR ever with over 10,000 yards. Blundin spent the whole of his career with Sacramento and was a major reason why the Surge went to the playoffs for 6 straight years.

TOTAL The best WR ever in the FWL. Many thought Toderick Malones records with London would never be beaten until Vance Blundin started playing and linked up with his QB Pat Barnes for many great seasons. Blundin was the top overall pick a year after Barnes was drafted and became the greatest QB-WR partnership in FWL history by far. Blundins first four years didnt have any 1000 yard seasons but Blundin was a consistent possession WR but then in 2003 Blundin developed into a great deep threat and exploded. Blundin set a streak of 9 straight 1000 yard seasons and every year had over 80 catches. He scored 10 touchdowns in two seperate seasons and had 106 catches in 2006 for nearly 1,500 yards and also was named All-FWL 5 times in a row. Blundin tasted success in FWL Bowl VIII and also went to the playoffs 4 other seasons. Even in his final last few years Blundin still had many 100 yard performances and constantly had 1000 yard seasons. Late in his years he also had the knack of scoring last minute touchdowns and won three games in 2010 with last second receptions for td's. A brilliant WR Blundin was on some poor teams in his early years in the FWL but became the best WR of all time and perhaps one of the greatest players ever in the FWL, he certainly is one of the top 3 players ever for sure.

TOTAL Shedrick Bonner spent most of his whole career with the London Monarchs and their arch rivals Austria. He arrived as a 4th round pick and spent his rookie season mostly on the bench. Former London GM Jason Compton started Bonner in his second season and Bonner didnt disappoint with a great season with 15 td's and just 3 ints and over 3000 yards. Bonner started again the following year and was even better as he took London to the EFC Championship and threw 16 td's and just 2 ints. However the following season Bonners confidence seem to disappear, after throwing 5 ints the last two seasons Bonner then threw just 9 td's and 10 ints in 2004. Another subpar year in 2005 prompted a trade to Austria, Londons arch rivals. Bonner played well in his first season with Austria with 11 td's and just 2 ints but struggled in 2007 and lost his starting job. Bonner was eventually traded back to London the following year where he started for most of the year. However in 2009 Bonner was relegated to a backup role but still played well in spot appearances. Finally he was cut after 2009 but returned to hold the clipboard for a few games in 2010 when he was resigned. Bonner had two excellent early seasons with London where he threw 31 td's and just 5 ints but after so much promise early in his career Bonner seemed to decline and was never the same QB again. It looked like Bonner would retire after being a FA in 2011 but his old team Austria signed him to be the backup. He started the last game of the season for Austria and played well and won an FWL Bowl ring as Austria went all the way. He was however cut after the season, he was signed as a FA to London but the Monarchs eventually released him and Scotland picked him up. After training camp however the veteran was cut again but due to an injury to starting Surge QB Rob Adamson, Bonner was signed as a FA to Sacramento and was a backup for the Surge.

TOTAL It was quite a gamble for the Surge to trade for Todd Bouman in 2003. He had never thrown a pass in the FWL, he had already been with two teams and still was an unknown quantity. The Surge GM took a chance and started him later in 2003 and Bouman excelled with some excellent performances. Despite starting QB Charlie Ward taking his team to the playoffs in 2003 the Surge made a bold
move to start him in 2004 which paid off as Bouman led his team back to the playoffs and the young QB played very well all year. An effective pocket passer Bouman in his early years with the Surge never threw many touchdowns but didnt throw many interceptions either. Two years of frustration of losing to Orlando in the playoffs hurt the Surge but finally in 2006 the Surge defeated their nemesis and reached FWL Bowl X. They faced the great Frankfurt Galaxy but Bouman set FWL Bowl records which still hold to this day with 4 touchdown passes in the first half as Sacramento won their first ever FWL Bowl. The team went back the following year, Bouman threw an uncharacteristic 20 touchdown passes and also a career high 12 ints but the Surge lost in the AFC Game. Bouman at this time was one of the best passers in the game, he was named All-FWL 3 times and also led his team to the playoffs 5 straight seasons. However the Surge were in one of the toughest divisions in football and after losing a lot of talent the Surge went downhill, in 2010 the team sunk to their worst season ever under Bouman (3-10-1) but Bouman came back strong in 2010 with a 7-7 record and his best season yet for several years. When the Surge GM moved to London he took Bouman with him and instantly named him his starter, Bouman like the last few years started most of the year before giving way late in the year to a backup but Bouman had a very effective final season with 12 touchdowns and just 2 ints to give him his best year (101.3 rating) for many seasons and Bouman decided to retire at the top. Bouman had an impressive 8 straight 3000 yard seasons and had an excellent career with Sacramento/London. His duels with San Antonios Michael Bishop and Montreals Danny Wuerrfel in the AFC West were brilliant and so were his AFC playoff games with Orlandos Jon Denton. A shame Bouman retired when he did but he went out at the top.

Brown was amazingly a 7th round draft pick when he was drafted and only had 2 rushes for the first 3 years of his career. He gradually started at FB for Montreal in 2007 and for 7 straight years he rushed for over 300 yards (an impressive total for a FB) and scored 34 touchdowns during that time. His 13 touchdowns in 20009 is still a FWL record for a FB. Brown was a great blocker and made some huge plays in the playoffs. He scored the first touchdown in FWL Bowl XI, scored the last touchdown to seal the win in FWL Bowl XII and in FWL Bowl XVII he scored the first touchdown again in yet another win. An excellent FB who turned out to be the best ever, not bad value for a 7th round pick !

TOTAL Maurice Bryant had a strange FWL career, he was a lowly backup his first two years in San Antonio but made headlines by scoring in FWL Bowl VI for San Antonio in a close loss. He then started at WR2 the next few seasons with the Riders and played well but the possession receiver was eventually traded to London for not much in 2006. His first season he caught just 2 passes but with the retirement of Monarch legend Toderick Malone he was given the WR1 job in training camp. A huge surprise but the gamble paid off for GM Jason Compton as Bryant exceeded all expectations and thanks to the mentoring from Malone the year before, Bryant led the league with 102 catches, over 1400 yards and 8 touchdowns ! He proved it wasnt a fluke the following year with another 1000 yard season and 8 touchdowns but in 2009 the whole team just collasped. QB Matt Lytles confidence was shot and the Monarchs went through a whole host of QB's, once a deep threat with London, Bryant only seemed to catch mostly short passes his final season and the explosiveness had gone. After such a poor year at WR1 and with so many drops Bryant decided to retire rather than be benched. He had two great years in London with nearly 2,500 yards but in 2009 he declined very badly.

TOTAL Pace Burpee was a former All-FWL FB with Mexico who also had some good seasons starting at HB and also mixing between HB and FB in some years. Burpee was originally drafted by Montreal but was traded to Mexico where he played for 5 straight years. He was eventually traded to New York where he played very well at FB for the Knights HB DeMario Brown but was eventually let go after being a backup in 2010 and a year later in 2011 was released. For some strange reason several teams decided to sign Burpee, he was claimed by Montreal then later the player was traded to the Riders, after being on the FA list for most of the year and not being wanted suddenly he was in a tug of war with several teams to sign him ! Burpee never had a carry in his final season and had just 5 special team tackles but he still managed to play in FWL Bowl XV where he made a tackle and decided to retire after his appearance in the big game.

TOTAL Bynum was probably not the fastest ever RB in the history of the league but he retired with a record number of 90+ yard plays in his career (3) and also had 4 70+ yard plays also. 7 plays over 70 yards ! Bynum was an explosive back, his first two seasons he was just a backup with Ohio but the former 1st round pick showed he was worth the high choice as he rushed for over 1000 yards and scored on a 76 yard run and a 72 yard reception. However the next season after a slow start he was relegated to backup duty but still ran for a 71 yard touchdown. He shared time in 2004 but had a good year stat wise thanks to a then league record 99 yard touchdown run. He also scored on a 76 yard screen pass, Bynum every now and then could just go the whole length of the field and was very dangerous for opposing defenses. After a down year in 2005 Bynum was eventually traded to Sacramento in 2006. He was converted to FB and played alongside Mike Green and the pairing were brilliant. In his first season with the Surge he scored on a 96 yard reception, the following season 'Thunder and Lightening' as they were now known as combined for over 1,400 yards rushing as Bynum enjoyed over 500 yards as a FB and scored on yet another 90+ yard run, this time of 96 yards ! His final season he managed a 59 yard sprint but his explosiveness seemed to be going away. He retired the next season but enjoyed a very good FWL career with 7 plays over 70 yards including an amazing 3 90+ yard touchdowns.

TOTAL 830 Israel Byrd never had a lot of help from his teammates during his Paris career, after making the playoffs in his rookie season the team never went back but Byrd had perhaps the best 6 seasons to begin his career of any defensive player in the league. Byrd had 90+ tackles in every one of his first 6 seasons and was also named All-FWL an incredible 6 times in a row which may be a record. Byrd continued to play well the next two seasons with over 60 tackles in both years but was finally benched in 2009 and had just 25 tackles. The next year he rebounded and started with 74 tackles but a new Paris GM let him go and Byrd was unclaimed for several weeks before Sacramento who have a history of signing old veterans gave him a chance and signed him. With the Surge GM moving to London he took Byrd with him after Byrd was cut again and Byrd started several games at S2 late in the year but his lack of speed as his skills badly went down in his final seasons showed and Byrd hardly made an impact. However he should be remembered for his early seasons in which he was a tackling machine, he also recovered 3 fumbles in his career and made 5 interceptions but Byrd was known for his hard hitting and perhaps all those hard hits he made put his career into decline faster late in his years. A very underrated player Byrd for 6 years was the top defensive player in the whole league.

Carter took part in many great Frankfurt/Rhein german derbies which often turned out to be epic clashes. Carter started for Rhein for 4 seasons but after an off year in 2001 he was surprisingly traded to Frankfurt where he then rejuventated his career as a FB/HB with the Galaxy for two seasons. With Bobby Phillips and Carter in the backfield the Galaxy set league rushing records. Carter then was traded to Mexico for several high draft picks as Carter was expecting to help lead the Aztecs to the playoffs. However things didnt work out in Mexico and Carter lost the starting job later that year. Sacramento then signed Carter as a backup and Carter spent his final 3 seasons playing mostly special teams. Carter finished 8th all time with over 5,000 yards rushing and over 8,000 yards total. Ontiwaun Carter does hold an amazing FWL record however, he is one of a very few number of players who went to the playoffs 10 times during his career. Carter went 4 times with Rhein, twice with Frankfurt, once with Mexico and 3 times with Sacramento. 11 seasons and 10 trips to the playoffs ! Carter played in 4 Championship games (Two EFC, two AFC) and won two FWL Bowl rings, one each with Rhein and Sacramento late in his career.

In his penultimate game he led the Galaxy to a huge upset win over the Claymores to reach FWL Bowl X. Was named MVP in 2001 and is tied for the record of top passer rating in a game (158.3) in 2003 when he threw 17 of 20 for 306 yds and 4 td's against Montreal. Also holds the record for most completions in a game (37), 4th most yards in a game (411 in his penultimate game), the 2nd best ever pass rating in a season (2003 - 112.4), the best and 4th best completion percentage in a season (2005 and 2003) and when he retired was ranked 2nd all time in passer rating (98.1), 2nd in pass attempts, 2nd in completions and 2nd in passing yards. There are no real statistics to prove but Stoney Case has probably won the most FWL games ever in league history. Truely one of the top 3 players in FWL history who had a stunning career.

Collins had 70+ tackles in his first 5 seasons and averaged 89 tackles during those years. Collins could do it all, he was a great tackler, he forced fumbles and he was a brilliant pass rushing LB. He still holds unofficially the FWL record for sacks by a LB in a year when he had an incredible 13 in 2004. Despite 3 straight All-FWL nominations and coming off his best year ever in 2004 Collins had an injury in 2005 and lost his starting position. Collins then surprisingly was relegated to backup and in his last 3 seasons made just 1 tackle. What really went on is anyones guess, some people say Collins never recovered fully from his injury, others say there wasnt even an injury and he just fell out with the Dragons GM. After 5 great seasons Collins career went downhill fast. He was cut after the 2008 season and as a Free Agent in 2009 no one showed an interest and Collins eventually retired. A big shame as in those early years Collins was one of the best LB's there was.

Craig was a 1st round pick of the Claymores and eventually in his 3rd season he took over the starting role and for 6 straight seasons he was the Claymores starter. Craig never threw for a lot of touchdowns and took his team to the playoffs just once in his first 4 years of starting. Under pressure from 1st round pick Craig Nall, Craig suddenly played the best football of his career and had two 100+ ratings in two years. His first season he took the Claymores to the EFC Game but a year later he took Scotland to the FWL Bowl where they fell to Montreal. The following year change was afoot and Craig was surprisingly traded to division rivals Barcelona. It was a great fit as he had an excellent first season with Barcelona but the next year the veteran QB was sensational. He threw for a career high 3,981 yards and 23 touchdowns but in his 6 years in Barcelona he never took the Dragons to the playoffs. At age 37 he was still playing great football as he threw for 17 td's and 6 ints in 2012 but the next year his age was beginning to show and he started the season poorly and was then benched. Craig decided to retire after that season after 14 seasons in the FWL. Earlier in his career Craig was a scrambler and 3 times ran for over 200 yards a season.

TOTAL 633 9,316 14.7 80 45 Thabiti Davis was perhaps the greatest Galaxy WR of all time so why was he cut after his 5th consecutive 1000 yard season ? Davis was a first round pick of Austria who was traded to Frankfurt during the great Austria clearout. Davis was a backup with Austria but went to the playoffs all 3 of his Austrian years and his final game for Austria was as a winner in FWL Bowl VI. Instantly with Frankfurt he started and had over 50 catches for 7 straight seasons and had 5 straight 1000 yard seasons also. Davis had 2 consecutive 90+ catch seasons for Frankfurt from 2006-2007 and played with some great QB's during his time in Frankfurt. His final game was FWL Bowl XIII where he picked up his first FWL Bowl ring with Frankfurt. Despite such a great year, over 1000 yards, a championship ring Davis was shockingly cut by Frankfurt and picked up by Montreal. He hardly played and was eventually traded to San Antonio where he made just 2 catches. Davis eventually decided to retire, angry at the lack of playing time he had during his final season despite his great stats previously. Davis retired as the 8th leading WR of all time but it was the shock of being cut from Frankfurt which hurts Davis to this day. Davis was young Galaxy QB's Rohan Daveys favourite target but since Davis has left Frankfurt despite another FWL Bowl win for Frankfurt, Daveys figures have declined as he seems to miss his favourite WR.

He played in 4 EFC Championship games and 3 FWL Bowls. The Galaxy offense didnt skip a beat when Dawkins had to start in place of an injured Bobby Phillips and was a fine backup and great FB.

Dawson led the Paris Musketeers in receiving for 7 seasons and had 5 consecutive 1000+ yard seasons until his injury. Dawson recorded two consecutive seasons of 100+ yard catches and his 117 catches in 2003 is the second most receptions in a season ever. Dawson retired as the 4th leading receiver of all time after registering 656 catches and nearly 9,000 yards and 37 td's. He scored 2+ td's in 9 consecutive seasons and finished his career with a healthy 13.7 average. He only went to the playoffs once in his career however and that game was a loss. Despite only one winning season during his 9 years in the league Dawson had an excellent career and it was a sad loss to the league when he retired due to injury.

Delhomme started his career with 6 straight 3000 yard seasons and it seemed he would set records for consecutive 3000 yard years but he was eventually benched in 2007 after a poor start to the year. Delhomme took the Skyhawks to the playoffs twice and was the first Skyhawk QB to take Raleigh to the playoffs as in their first 5 years in the FWL Raleigh never came close. He also led Raleigh to three 7-7 seasons, which were their first non losing seasons in their history. Eventually Delhomme was benched after the Skyhawks selected QB Aaron Rodgers 1st overall as Raleigh had a miserable season. Delhomme sat on the bench for a year before being traded to division rivals Sacramento. His first season was superb as the veteran threw for over 3,700 yards and 15 td's. The next season he was benched but an injury to the new Surge QB put Delhomme back as the starter. He threw for over 3000 yards again but the Surge missed the playoffs after a promising start.

TOTAL Denton was a 1st round pick for Orlando and saw a lot of action as a rookie. Denton threw just 5 td passes in his first year and just 10 in his second but in his 3rd season Denton was sensational. He threw for 3,666 yards, 19 td's and just 3 ints and was named AFC Offensive Player of the Year and led Orlando to a surprise FWL Bowl win as Orlando scored 18 4Q points to upset heavy favourites Rhein. Denton proved the following year it was no fluke as he took Orlando back to the FWL Bowl. Orlando nearly became the first team in FWL Bowl history to repeat as champions, Denton threw a late touchdown strike with 9 seconds left on 4th down to force overtime against Berlin but Orlando narrowly lost as Berlin kicked a FG. In these years Orlando had a great rivalry with Sacramento, they beat the Surge twice in the playoffs but two years later in the AFC Championship game, Sacramento finally beat the Thunder to reach the final. Denton took Orlando back to the playoffs two years later as he had his best ever season with 21 touchdown passes and just 4 ints and was named AFC Offensive Player of the Year for the second time in his career. Orlando lost in the first round though and it got worse for Denton as Orlando surprisingly picked a QB in the first round. Denton despite being the top AFC Player was shocked as the Thunder went for a QB ! Early in the following season Denton was benched at QB despite his amazing season previous, he won back the job the following year as young QB Tony Romo struggled and this time Denton came in. However by this time Orlando were a very poor team and didnt have much talent on the team and after a 3-11 season Denton was benched the next year and didnt throw a pass all year. Denton decided to retire after that year and after 12 years in the FWL, all with Orlando he quit.

Dukes was an excellent pass receiver and averaged 61 catches a season over his 10 year FWL career and made the playoffs 5 times and was also named All-FWL 4 times. Dukes was drafted 1st overall by Barcelona and was the leading rusher in the league once and also led the league in all purpose yards twice in 2004 and 2006. Dukes was a scoring machine scoring 85 rushing touchdowns and another 36 in the air receiving and totalled 744 points. When he retired Dukes was the 2nd all time player in all purpose yards with an incredible 14,646. Dukes played in one FWL Bowl, FWL Bowl IX where he scored two first half touchdowns as it appeared Barcelona might beat Montreal as they led 14-10 at halftime. But the Machine came back in the second half to win the game. The Dragons had a new GM in 2009 and after a poor season by Dukes standards he was a backup in 2010 for the first time in his career. Dukes never got a chance to shine late in his career and after just a career low 191 yards in 2010 Dukes opted to retire.

He did play for one of the worst teams of all time as he never went to the playoffs in any of his 11 seasons. However Edwards was a hard worker and despite never reaching the 1000 yard mark rushing he was very consistent and finished his career with 7 rushing touchdowns of 70 or more yards and 5 receiving touchdowns of 70 yards or more as Edwards did show a lot of big play skills. With an average-poor OL in front of him Edwards did often struggle but at times he showed you the skill which made you think he would have been All-FWL if he played for a winning team. When Edwards retired he finished as the 7th leading rusher of all time and the 14th leading receiver of all time. Edwards was an excellent receiver and had 10 consecutive seasons of over 1000 yards combined every year. In 2012 the Musketeers went to a different type of offense with Edwards being the main focal point in the passing game. Edwards didnt disappoint with an incredible 103 receptions including one amazing night against Amsterdam. In that game Edwards caught 14 passes for 256 yards and 3 td's, the 256 yards Edwards had is still an FWL record to this day. Finally Paris traded for a new RB and in 2014 his final season, Edwards hardly played. He did get a few starts due to injury but the wear and tear on his body was showing and Edwards looked a poor version of his former self. He did score 97 touchdowns for Paris and had a great career but sadly never once made the playoffs.

TOTAL Ekiyor was a lowly 4th round pick for Amsterdam but started on their d-line for an amazing 11 straight seasons, his whole career ! Ekiyor quickly became a fan favourite and his lowest sacks in any one year was 6 ! Ekiyor was overlooked for most of his career but was so consistent and was the captain for the defense. Finally the Admirals made the playoffs for the first time ever in 2008 and Ekiyor finally played in the playoffs and in FWL Bowl XII. He went back to the playoffs for the next 3 seasons but after an agonising loss to Austria in the EFC Game in 2010 he decided to retire at the top. He had a great final season with 13 sacks and the defense was ranked the best in the league. In his final 6 seasons the Admirals defense was 4th or better every year. A great dominating d-line player Ekiyor will go down as one of the all time FWL greats.

Christopher Fear was the best TE of all time in the FWL. He eventually retired after 13 great years in the FWL, his last few years being some of his best. When he retired he was the only TE ranked in the top 75 pass receptions list and was also a great blocker. He started off his career moving around constantly ! He was originally a 1st round pick and was selected 7th overall, still the highest picked TE ever. He was traded to Austria but had just one catch there and eventually was traded to San Antonio all during the same season ! After his rookie year he was then traded to Frankfurt where he eventually settled down and stayed with the Galaxy for 8 seasons enjoying a lot of success as he went to the playoffs 7 times and played in 2 FWL Bowls winning one. Fear was named All-FWL 5 times during his 13 year career and in his later seasons when RB's and TE's caught more passes than before Fear had some great seasons including a carer high 52 catches in 2009 for nearly 700 yards and 6 touchdowns. He was one of a quartet of veteran players with Berlin who went on to have some great years playing together. HB Michael Black, QB Pat Barnes, WR Vance Blundin and Fear were 4 very old players but all did well in their final seasons playing together.

It is rumoured that Fenruss blocked over 15 punts during one season in Austria ! During his career Fenruss returned 3 blocked punts for td's and also blocked another two for safeties. During 1998 Fenruss recovered 5 blocked punts and another 2 in 1999. The amount of blocked punts he made is unknown but its a high number ! Fenruss was also a great pass rusher and averaged just over 9 sacks a season during his career. He retired aged 36 finishing his career with the NY Knights who he helped surprisingly get to the FWL Bowl in 1999. He also won an FWL Bowl ring with Austria in 1998 and went to two AFC Championship games with NY winning one. A great veteran DE and possibly the best punt-blocker ever by far !

The following season Fields was traded to San Antonio where he once again started, he had 63 tackles and 3 sacks and played in a Wildcard game. Fields moved again for the third time in 3 seasons this time to the powerful Austria DarkKnights. Because of the very strong DarkKnights team Fields was a lowly LB6 backup but did taste playoff succes as Austria went to the EFC Championship game. The following year was even better as Austria won the FWL Bowl and Fields won his first FWL Bowl ring. Montreal GM David Harwood spotted that Fields could be his defensive leader and superstar and traded for him. Fields finally found his home and would play in Montreal for the rest of his career, 7 seasons in Montreal in total. Fields helped the Machine back to the playoffs and he went to the playoffs for 7 successive years in Montreal, and went 10 successive years if you include his stints in San Antonio and Austria ! Fields had over 50 tackles every year in the next 6 seasons in Montreal and his real great ability was as a pass rushing LB. The league had never seen a LB like Fields before, Fields smashed records for sacks in a season by a LB twice ! From three seasons Fields notched up 9 , 9 then 12 sacks ! He was amazing and was one of the main keys to the Montreal defense which ranked in the top 6 in 5 of his 7 seasons. Fields enjoyed amazing success in the playofsf and won an amazing 3 FWL Bowl rings in Montreal and also played in another FWL Bowl this year as Montreal were narrowly defeated by Frankfurt. Fields has the joint most FWL Bowl rings in the league with 4 and he has a record with 5 FWL Bowl appearances ! Sadly in his final season Fields was just a backup but was a great coach on the sideline but after making just 18 tackles and seeing his 10 year streak of having at least 1 sack snapped Fields decided to call it a day. During his career Fields racked up 563 tackles (46th all time), recovered 6 fumbles, made 3 interceptions and rolled up 56 sacks, just one away from the all time LB record.

Freeman was eventually cut and landed with Sacramento where he saw limited action but still notched up 2 sacks. He was eventually released but Mexico signed him for the rest of the year and he had one final start. He decided to retire an Aztec and after 11 seasons in the FWL he called it a day. He retired as the 27th leading tackler of all time, made an impressive 39 sacks, recovered 4 fumbles and made 8 interceptions and was named All-FWL 3 times.

Jason Garett was the top QB in the FWL's inaugral season and led the Riders to the AFC Championship game where they narrowly lost to Birmingham. However the leagues first poster-boy suffered possibly one of the worst injuries ever in the FWL when he was injured in the 2Q of the first game of 1998. Garrett was gone for the year after throwing just 18 passes. He came back strong with the Riders throwing for a then FWL league record 3,764 yds in his comeback. Garrett led the Riders to the playoffs in the 4 seasons he started with San Antonio but after leading the Riders to the playoffs in 2001 Garrett was surprisingly cut loose due to his age as he was in his 12th season. Garrett was picked up by the Surge who needed a backup QB and only threw 6 passes in 2002 but the following year Surge QB Charlie Ward was lost to injury for the year and Garrett helped lead the Surge to the playoffs where they eventually lost in the AFC Championship game. He didnt disappoint in his final ever game against Orlando in the AFC Championship as he set a playoff record with 86% of his passes (22a, 19c), the week before he threw for over 400 yards in a playoff win over Ohio.

abuse followed and Grasmanis was suspended for two seasons. When he returned

following season his former team Ireland (Who had moved to Berlin) took a
chance and Grasmanis didnt disappoint with 8 sacks in a great comeback after 3
seasons out of the FWL. However he was again suspended this time for a season
sadly and he finally made a mini comeback with Ohio in 2005. He registered a

Green was eventually traded to Sacramento who had just won the FWL Bowl. Despite a great season by HB Roel van Teefelen the Surge decided to upgrade their rushing attack and paid a high price to land Green. Green was hot/cold with Sacramento and despite rushing for over 900 yards and 12 td's the fans never warmed to Green as they were not happy fan favourite van Teefelen was benched. Green started the next year for the Surge and had nearly 800 yards and scored 9 td's and helped the Surge back to the playoffs but Greens constant 3+ average again didnt warm him to fans. He spent one more year with the Surge but managed just over 500 yards. He was traded to Raleigh where he saw some action and rushed for nearly 400 yars but the next year he was traded to Austria. Austria never were great fans of veterans so it was a shock when Green was named the starter in Austria. It didnt last long as a few weeks into the season he was sent packing again, this time to Orlando. Overall he played well with Orlando playing both HB and FB for the Thunder. However he was traded yet again a season later and spent the last few games of his career ironically with Sacramento as a backup but never carried the ball once. As a former 1st round pick Green was a disappointment in his 11 years in the FWL as he only once had over 900 yards in a season and played for 5 different teams.

TOTAL Jon Handley worked his way up from a backup with Sacramento to a full time starter with Berlin where he enjoyed a lot of success. Sadly an injury in 2007 caused him to miss the last 2 regular season games and the whole of the playoffs. He had the injury looked at but doctors advised him to retire and he sadly did after his best ever FWL season by far. Handley started with the Surge in 1999 but saw action as just a backup. He was traded to Berlin where after running for a 97 yard td in 2003 he was promptly giving the starting role the following season. Handley had great speed and ran for a 98 yard touchdown the following year ! The year after he had YET another 90+ td, this time a 99 yard touchdown pass ! Handley is the only person in FWL history to register more than one 90+ yard touchdown. Handley did this amazing feat three times !

FWL and he certainly did with a host of big plays. Harris was sensational in
his rookie year in the FWL, made All-FWL honours as he ran for over 1,200
yards , 13 td's and also caught another 64 passes for nearly 700 yards. A
great receiver Harris also caught 62 and then 68 passes in his final two
seasons. Harris led Montreal to the playoffs in 1997 and then despite missing
the playoffs the following season he still rushed for 888 yards and 12 td's
including a long of 88. In his final season defenses were getting better and
better but he still rushed for over 700 yards including an 80 yard td sprint.
Harris still has the FWL league record for carries in a game (36 vs Ohio in
1999), he is tied for most attempts all purpose (40 vs Ohio, 36 runs, 4
catches), has the 4th most rushing yards in a season (1,222 in 1997) and the
third most combined yards in a season (1,920 in 1997). Harris only played 3
years in the FWL retiring at the age of 35 but if the league was created 10
years earlier theres a good chance Harris would own every rushing record there
was.

Haynes averaged over 10 sacks for 9 seasons, an incredible consistency but sadly when the Knights let him go due to wanting to start their younger players hardly any teams wanted Haynes ! During his time with New York Haynes went to 3 AFC Championship games and played in FWL Bowl IV where the Knights narrowly lost to Rhein. Despite all those great seasons Haynes was hardly gathered any interest as a FA and it was only after a few weeks the Sacremento Surge signed him as a lowly backup. Eventually he was traded to Barcelona where he did pick up a couple of sacks that year but he was again cut the following season. He spent one season on the FA list hoping to be signed but the great veteran wasnt and he promptly retired. Most teams in the FWL sadly seem to ignore veteran players who proved they can play in the FWL and instead always go with younger players, it was a huge shame Haynes who had all those great seasons was ignored. Finished his career with 94 sacks and could make the FWL Hall of Fame as for 9 seasons he was the best most consistent defensive linemen there was.

In his 3 years as starter the team failed to make the playoffs and after a 4-10 season in 2003 Hernandez was benched and a new GM arrived in Birmingham. Hernandez did play well as he wasnt surrounded by talent and threw for 16 td's in 2003. But he spent the next 3 years as a backup before eventually being traded to Paris. Again with Paris he was a backup for most of his career but longed to start. Finally in 2008 he started in the regular season finale against Austria. In that game both Kevin Kreinhagen of Austria and Hernandez enjoyed one of the best shootouts ever as Hernandez threw for 460 yards and 2 td's and Kreinhagen over 300 yards and a td. Ironically a season later Kreinhagen was traded to Paris and Hernandez moved even further down the pecking order. Hernandez did start again in 2009 but again lost the starting job. A quality backup during his years and showed some potential as a young QB with Birmingham but eventually due to a new GM Hernandez was cut in 2011 after training camp and failed to catch on with any teams and retired at the end of the year.

He only made the playoffs twice and never was on a Skyhawks team with a winning record but still week in week out played excellent football. Hervey had over 70 catches 6 out of his 9 seasons and after possibly one of his best ever seasons in 2006 he was sensationall dropped from the starting lineup. He sought a trade but the Skyhawks GM refused to let him go and Hervey finished with just 3 catches in his final FWL season. He promptly left the Skyhawks and tried to sign with an NFL team. Despite the bitterness at the end of his career Hervey finished as the all-time Skyhawks leading receiver and was one of the most liked Skyhawk players ever.

Despite just 4 years in the FWL Hess averaged nearly 1000 yards a season and
became San Antonio QB Jason Garretts favourite target. Hess only returned
punts in his final season and was sensational setting league records. Hess
also holds the record for 5th longest punt return in the playoffs with a 60
yard effort against New York. He holds the league record for punt returns in a
season with 70 in 2000, he is also one of 4 players ever in the FWL to have
returned a kickoff for a td. In his final season in 2000 and his only season
returning punts regularly Hess had nearly 700 yards returning punts and scored
2 td's including an 87 yarder. If he had played punt returner for many more
years he probably would have set a host of records. Hess retired at the top

RB's in the FWL during this time. He began his season with Barcelona rushing
for over 800 yards and an impressive 65 catches for over 750 yards ! Legendary
GM Mario Kreiner saw his multi-purpose play and wanted him instantly, he joined
the DarkKnights in 1998 and was one of the main reasons why Austria exploded
into the FWL in 1998 and stayed there for many seasons. During his 3 year
reign in Austria Hicks won an FWL Bowl ring in 1999 and went to the playoffs
the other two seasons. He had one of his best ever games in the FWL Bowl
against Birmingham, despite rushing for just 42 yards in the first 4 quarters
he added an extra 57 yards in overtime to help give Austria the win. With the
drafting of Lawrence Phillips Hicks was sent packing to San Antonio where he
led the team in rushing 4 years, led them to the playoffs twice and also to FWL
Bowl VI where he met his former team Austria ! Hicks made some huge plays late
in the game but trailing 24-17 history was about to be made. Hicks made a
great run and looked to be headed for the endzone to tie the game up with 3
minutes left but was pushed out of bounds at the 1 yard line. Then the
DarkKnights had a goalline stand which has been mentioned as the best defensive
stand ever in the FWL, 1st down Hicks was stopped for a loss, 2nd down a 2 yard
loss, 3rd down just a 1 yard swing pass to Hicks and on 4th down from the 1 an
incomplete pass turned the ball over and Austria ran out winners. Despite the
hugely disappointing loss Hicks rebounded the following season with his best
season in years but sadly a contract dispute and injury limited Hicks to just
63 yards the following season and he promptly retired. Hicks had two 90 yard
runs in his career, one for 96 yards is still the 5th longest run in FWL
history, he is also tied for most all purpose attempts in a game, 33 runs and 7
catches against Paris in 1999. He holds the record for 2nd most yards rushing
in a playoff game with 150 against Raleigh in 2002 for San Antonio and scored
the 3rd most points in a single season with an amazing 118 (19 td's , 2 2 xp's)
in 1998. He holds the record for 2nd most td's in a season with 19 in 1998 and
despite several seasons after his retirement he is still ranked 4th in all time
touchdowns with 87, 4th in rushing attempts, 5th in rushing yards (nearly
6,000), 5th in all purpose attempts and is ranked 12th in total yards with just
over 9,500 yards ! A truely great back during his career Hicks had an amazing
FWL career and was named All-FWL twice, once for Austria and once for San
Antonio.

For the first 8 seasons of his career Hoffmans lowest sack totals in any one year was 9 !!! Hoffman played in 4 EFC Games with Berlin winning one of them as Berlin won FWL Bowl VIII. In his later seasons Hoffmans sack total declined but he still played well with 6 and 7 sacks in his final two Berlin years. Despite having so many veterans on offense Hoffman the team didnt seem to want to start many veterans on defense and he was cut in 2011. Sacramento often a home for unwanted veterans signed the great player and he saw limited action but picked up a sack to give him 11 straight seasons of at least a sack. He retired as the 3rd leading sacker of all time with 110 in his great 11 year career in which he averaged 10 sacks a year !

FWL. He started his career in Sacramento and was QB David Archers top target
to go to. In his first 3 years with Sacramento he put up better and better
numbers each year and had 104 catches in 1999 and totalled over 3,500 yards in
his first 3 seasons ! When new GM Paul Johns came aboard to Sacramento he knew
that the the team who had won just 8 games the last 2 seasons had to improve so
he traded the teams best asset to Mexico. It was a shock to Surge fans as
their best receiver by far went to the rival Aztecs ! In his first season with
Mexico however he was injured and had just over 500 yards receiving, injury
free he was back to his best the following season and caught 88 passes for over
1000 yards and helped lead Mexico the playoffs but shockingly in the offseason
with a new GM in Mexico he was traded back to Sacramento ! Holloway was on
fire his first season back with the Surge and had over 85 catches and over
1,200 yards in a record breaking season for Sacramento. With QB Charlie Ward
throwing for nearly 4,000 yards the veteran receiving partnership of Holloway
and legendary WR Dedric Smith became the first pair EVER to catch 1000 yards
each for the same team. Holloway played one more season catching over 60
passes but for just over 700 yards as his once famous speed seemed to have
deserted him. He retired early in his career after just 7 seasons in the FWL
and currently ranks 10th all time in the FWL despite retiring nearly 4 years
ago with 547 catches. Despite just two playoff appearances in 7 seasons
Holloway made the All-FWL team three times, twice with Sacramento and once with
Mexico. He was superb in the playoffs in his two games, against New York in
2001 he caught 13 passes in a loss for 182 yards ! His 13 catches are 2nd in
playoff history and his yardage 3rd. Despite being on a losing team 5 out of 7
seasons Holloway was a tremendous player and played hard week in week out.

Itai was there just to make up the numbers with the Musketeers as they needed some depth, he saw some action in his first season in Paris and caught 20 passes and a touchdown. However its unknown why Itai started the next year at WR1 but it was one of Paris GM's Andrew Battyes best ever decisions Itai was incredible and hooked up with Paris QB Corey Sauter all year long for some huge games. In one 5 game stretch that year he caught 54 passes ! In his final game of the season Itai caught 11 passes for 191 yards ! Itai finished that year with an incredible 121 passes just two shy of tying the alltime record. Itai's 121 receptions still ranks 2nd all time amongst receptions by a WR in a single season. Itai had another great year the following season but this time was most of a deep threat, he had over 1000 yards again but at a huge 18.2 average, one of the best single season averages of all time. Itai caught 19 touchdown passes in those two years. In 2010 he was injured for 7 weeks and hardly saw any action the rest of the year, but he did have one great game and caught a 77 yard touchdown bomb. With a new GM on board Itai hardly played in 2011 and caught 2 passes in one game, he decided to retire but had two amazing years in the FWL setting a lot of records.

James however racked up 8 straight seasons of 60+ tackles and also an impressive 4 straight years of 90+ ! He was a backup during his final season in Ohio and was actually traded to Sacramento where the veteran was scheduled to start. The draft pick was exchanged but James decided to retire instead. He had a great career going to the playoffs 5 times with Ohio and also played in FWL Bowl V against Frankfurt.

TOTAL For many years Martin Janson was one of the best LB's in the AFC playing for Orlando. For 8 straight years Janson averaged over 75 tackles a year and had at least a sack for 11 straight years, an amazing record. During his prime years with Orlando, Janson was a pass rushing monster. He became one of the first LB's in league history to have double digit sacks in a season, in 2007 he had an incredible 11 sacks to go along with his 87 tackles. He also recovered 3 fumbles, intercepted 7 passes, played in the playoffs 5 times, played in two FWL Bowls, and won one FWL Bowl ring. He was shockingly cut after 2010 despite 79 tackles and 3 sacks. He was a FA for many weeks until London offered him a home, he played sparingly but finished the year with 19 tackles and a sack to keep his streak alive It was a sad end to his career but for many years Janson was one of the best in the business, a great LB.

With a new GM on board the following season Johnson was largely ignored and spent the next three seasons as a backup but was still productive. Seeing that Johnson had showed earlier potential Sacramento traded for Johnson where he spent the first year inactive learning the Surge defense. Sacramento had a great defensive line in those years and Johnson finally managed to see action the next year and played very well with 7 sacks and 31 tackles. The following year was his best ever season, the Surge d-line had 39 sacks led by Johnsons 15. Sacramento cruised through the playoffs and won FWL Bowl X. When he started in 2005 and 2007 the Surge defense ranked the best in the league. Johnson was named AFC Defensive Player of the Year in 2006 and followed up that season with 8 sacks in 2007. With the emergence of some potentially great young defensive line players he was traded to Ohio but was somehow forgotton in the mix as there was a new GM there and didnt even make it onto the field all year. Johnson was traded back to Sacramento where in limited action he played very well and notched up 5 sacks. He finally retired knowing he would be a backup this year but enjoyed a very productive career with 60 sacks and an FWL Bowl ring.

2010 did not play TOTAL You have to feel sorry for Ingram Jones. Back in 2007 he had one of the greatest regular season performances of all time, he became just the 3rd QB ever to throw for over 4000 yards and threw 16 td's to just 4 ints despite playing behind a poor line which sacked him 55 times. Then just two seasons later he was cut and out of football, he was on the FA scrapheap list for a year and then as no one wanted to sign him he promptly retired. A true rags to riches story. Jones wasnt even drafted and signed a FA contract with Frankfurt in 2000 and was traded to New York later that year. The following year he moved to Birmingham where he saw some action but then was sent to tbe bench in 2002. In 2003 he played well as a backup with New York and then moved back to Birmingham the following year and started for most of the year throwing for just under 3000 yards. A backup for the next 2 seasons, Jones impressed so much in 2006 with 4 td's and 0 ints he was named the starter in 2007. Jones had a brilliant year throwing for over 4000 yards, 16 td's and just 4 ints. The team had the 3rd best offense in the league that year and he started the following year but after some early season losses Jones was benched and only saw action once the following year playing well coming off the bench. Jones however was cut the next season and after a year as a Free Agent and being signed by no one Jones decided to retire. As of 2011 only 3 QB's have ever thrown for over 4000 yards in a season (Jim Murphy, Phil Stambaugh and Ingram Jones). His name will stay in the record books for a long time but sadly his career wasnt one of the best.

Sacramento had not made the playoffs for 5 straight seasons but when Kentucky arrived the Surge then went to the playoffs for 6 straight seasons ! He might have been a jinx with Berlin but he was the opposite with Sacramento ! After being injured during his first season with the Surge, Kentucky then came back to start for 3 seasons for Sacramento and was the starting safety in FWL Bowl X where he won a winners medal. He played in 4 AFC Championship games with Sacramento but was relegated to backup duty his final two seasons.

Kernutt arrived in Birmingham as a 6th round draft pick and started as a backup for most of his Fire career. He was an excellent backup making plays when needed to but finally was pushed down the pecking order and in 2006-2007 hardly played and was eventually released. That summer the Sacramento Surge saw something they liked in Kernutt and signed the player as a FA, he was a surprise starter but didnt disappoint with 9 sacks, 2 fumbles and 26 tackles, his best year yet in the FWL. He was then eventually traded to London where he started at DT the next two seasons and played well picking up 12 sacks in the two years combined. Eventually in 2011 he was benched again but still contributed with 3 sacks in hardly any action. Kernutt had sacks in 11 of his 12 seasons despite only starting two full years and was a steady hard working player.

He spent the whole of his career with Barcelona and much like the NFL's Dan Marino, Kitna led his team to the playoffs 5 times during his 12 year FWL career but failed to win an FWL Bowl ring. He took the Dragons to FWL Bowl IX against Montreal but lost 27-17. Some of Kitnas best seasons came late in his career where he appeared to be rejuvenated during the 2004-2006 seasons. During those three seasons Kitna threw 60 td's and only 14 interceptions ! In 2007 age seemed to be creeping up to Kitna, he was injured in the last week of the regular season and missed the playoffs. He decided to come back for one final season but with a new GM on board Kitna was the backup for most of the season as the team went for youth. When he retired Kitna had thrown for over 37,000 yards and 166 touchdowns during his long career. His playoff record was 3-5 but he spent many years on lowly Dragon teams. A great QB and a cert for the FWL Hall of Fame, Kitna truely was one of the best players the league had ever seen.

For 5 straight seasons Josh LaRocca won more games than any other FWL QB in the league and was the starting QB for one of the toughest franchises in the whole of the FWL. LaRocca only started one meaningless game in his rookie season with Rhein but DarkKnights GM Mario Kreiner spotted something in LaRocca he liked and he traded for him before the following season. After Austria were 6-8 in 1997 LaRocca who instantly started in Austria blossomed and was the missing link in the DarkKnights offense. LaRocca led Austria to an 11-3 record and just one year later won FWL Bowl III for Austria. During his first 5 seasons in Austria LaRocca compiled an amazing 57-11-1 record in the regular season ! LaRocca won two FWL Bowls, III and VI and also played in another 2 EFC Championship games ! Then new GM David Bridson tore the team apart after their winning campaign in 2002 and after starting for Austria for most of 2003 LaRocca like many other Austria players was sent packing by Bridson. LaRocca ended up as a backup with Amsterdam and saw little action during his first two seasons there. Then LaRocca got his chance in 2005 with the Admirals and played very well throwing for 11 td's and just 3 ints. The following season however he was back to being just a backup but LaRocca was one of the best backups in the league when called upon. In his last 3 seasons in the FWL LaRocca threw 9 td's and 0 ints when being called upon to start. During his final season he was actually traded to London where he started the last 3 games of the season trying hard to get a playoff spot for London. He narrowly missed taking the Monarchs to the playoffs but had another fine season. During his career LaRocca never threw for 10 or more interceptions in any season and threw 101 td's to just 42 ints and retired as the joint top retired QB of all time alongside Stoney Case with an impressive 98.1 rating. Looking back it was a terrible shame the DarkKnights were dismantled the way they were. LaRocca could have easily have stayed with Austria to become perhaps the top QB of all time. But for those 5 straight seasons in Austria LaRocca was the top QB in the FWL.

He registered an incredible 121 tackles during his rookie year (Still the 2nd most tackles in a season all time and still a record for a LB) and was traded to Austria for several draft picks and players the following year. Lillibridge had a huge impact on the Austrian defense and the great trade by Mario Kreiner appeared to be a superb move. However Lillibridge suffered a devastating injury after just 3 weeks in Austria and he had to sit out the rest of the season. He bounced back the following year with over 60 tackles and 6 sacks and won an FWL Bowl ring with Austria as the DarkKnights won FWL Bowl III. He had an even better year the following season with an FWL record 11 sacks for a LB and 87 tackles. His great career continued with Austria with another 10 sacks in 2002 and another FWL Bowl ring as Austria beat San Antonio in the final. However times changed for Austria soon after as the new GM crazily started releasing veterans. Lillibridge was one of the few veterans to stay with the team and despite being around a weak team he continued to play hard and continued to have impressive seasons. Lillibridge was named All-FWL in 1997, 2000, 2002 and 2005 which was his final year as a starter. Lillibridge only registered 15 tackles in his final year but was used more as a coach. When he retired he finished in the top 5 of tackles all time with 683 and an impressive 46 sacks for a LB.

Lyck started for 9 straight seasons and made a ton of big plays for the Machine. He helped the team reach the playoffs 9 straight years after his rookie year and Lyck played in 4 FWL Bowls and won 3 of them. Lyck was a brilliant rookie with over 1000 yards his rookie season but later developed into a possession WR and great PR. He averaged 65 catches in his first 9 seasons and was surprisingly benched in his final year, a reason why he decided to retire. Possibly the greatest ever WR2 in the league who was very succesful with Montreal.

He had a great first year with over 3000 yards, 15 td's and just 4 ints and it seemed Amsterdam had their QB of the future. The next year he played well despite an injury completing an impressive 68% of his passes. In his 3rd year he was even better, over 3,800 yards and 16 td's, both career highs but the next year he was benched after a slow start and didnt play for the Admirals again. Instead he was traded to London where he had a great first year but was even better the next year in London with 22 touchdown passes. However since arriving in London his habit of fumbling got to a ridiculous level. He fumbled only 6 times in each of 2006 and 2007 but in 2008 the fumbling got silly. He fumbled 15 times and then after more fumbles (6) the next year he was benched after just a handful of games. He rebounded in 2010 to start for London and led them to the playoffs but this time it was insane. Lytle fumbled a league record 26 times, thankfully his RB Rashon Spikes recovered 15 of them. How could anyone fumble so much ? His C Mike Newell was regarded as one of the best, how could Lytle drop the ball constantly ? His crazy play gave GM Jason Compton grey hair and it drove Compton to quit after that season despite the playoffs. Lytle was soon traded the following year to rivals Paris where ironically Lytle played superbly in relief and threw 9 td's and 0 ints and this time fumbled just once ! Perhaps the Newell-Lytle connection just wasnt working or perhaps Rashon Spikes was one of the reasons ? Lytle didnt throw a pass the following year despite his impressive showing the year before and in his final season as a backup threw just 8 passes (no fumbles). Lytle will be known for his crazy fumbling where he easily holds the all time record with 69 (14 ahead of his nearest rival) but for many years he was a great passer.

It was an even bigger shock when no one signed him until later in the year when London picked him up. He was only a backup and after an 88 tackle season he made just 3 tackles the following year. He surprisingly came back and again as a backup didnt do much and was eventually cut in the offseason. With London at 7-0 the Monarchs decided to bring him back for his great veteran leadership and even though he didnt play in his final season he helped teach the younger players. In his prime Malbrough was the best DB in the game and for 8 years he was so consistent, a great CB.

TOTAL Budd Martin was a 3rd round pick for Montreal in the EOS2 draft and despite a playoff season in 1999 under QB Todd Hammel, Martin looked to be the future of the franchise. However in 2000 the entire team fell apart, the offense fell to the leagues worst and the defense ranked 3rd the year before dropped to 12th. The main reason for the poor offense was the surprise retirement of Machine legend HB Elroy Harris. With no rushing attack Montreal nosedived to a league worst 2-12 record. Martin saw limited action and played well on such a weak side. The following year the job was given to Martin in training camp but Martin struggled as he was sacked an incredible 65 times, he had no rushing attack and worst of all the Machine became the FIRST team ever to go 0-14. In one 5 week span the Machine scored 24 points ! Their highest points total all year was 17 ! A new GM took over in 2002 and Martin didnt see any action all year, worst was to come as Martin was cut and for the whole of 2003 Martin was a FA with no team offering him a trial. Finally a year later the Raleigh-Durham Skyhawks gave Martin a tryout and he impressed enough to be signed to a backup role. Martin only saw limited action but did well as the long term backup to Skyhawks starter QB Jake Delhomme. Finally in 2007 he had his chance, Delhomme was gone for the year with an injury and in came Martin. Martin was brilliant throwing 14 td's and just 4 ints and winning many last second games. The tag of 'worst QB in the FWL' had gone. The following year Martin went back to being a backup but still played well in spot appearances.

TOTAL McCullough isnt known as Mr Bling Bling for nothing ! McCullough is one of only a very few select players who have FOUR FWL Bowl rings ! McCullough earned one with Austria during his second season despite being a backup all season and then when he was traded to Montreal he was part of their domination of the FWL for many seasons. McCullough spent two seasons in Montreal as a backup WR but blossomed in 2005 catching 87 passes as Montreal won their first ever FWL Bowl. The next year he had another 1000 yard season and returned to the playoffs but the Machine lost in the Wildcard round. The next season McCullough returned again as an FWL Bowl winner and caught an impressive 8 td's. An offseason training camp dispute with the Montreal GM however put McCullough on the bench for the whole of Season 12 and despite winning another FWL Bowl ring as a backup McCullough promptly retired unhappy with his backup status. Possibly the only person to have 4 FWL Bowl rings and also to go to the playoffs every season of his career it was a shame when McCullough retired so early. Return to top

Miller-Lopez was one of the best trades ever in the FWL. Lopez was hardly used during his first 4 seasons in the league, the two seaons previous to arriving in Birmingham he had rushed for -1 yards ! But somehow Fire GM Michel Kremer saw something in Lopez and traded for him and instantly started Lopez as his main HB. The results were incredible, Lopez rushed for over 900 yards and the Fire went to the AFC Game. Lopez continued to start and had two 1000 yard seasons in a row, he had a bad year in 2008 as Birmingham struggled all round but bounced back in 2009 with over 800 yards. However in 2010 he was benched and eventually cut where he was picked up by Montreal as RB cover for their injured starters. Miller-Lopez for 3 years was one of the top RB's in the game with nearly 3000 yards in 3 seasons and was one of the best trades ever. He came from nowhere and surprised us all with his years with Birmingham.

TOTAL 1817 1065 58.6 12,973 7.1 83 49 26 83.7 246-1783 In the early years of the FWL it appeared that Shawn Moore would turn out to be one of the top QB's in the league. His great matchups with Stan White of the Monarchs were legendary. In actual fact Moore was an average QB who never threw for more than 3000 yards in a single season. He threw a career high 13 td's but did not throw many interceptions in his career, only more than 6 once in his 7 year career. Moore led the Claymores to FWL Bowl I in 1997 but never went back to the playoffs. He lost the starting role after 4 seasons to 1st round pick Dameyune Craig and never got the job back. After two seasons as a backup he promptly retired and left the FWL.

Morris exploded in 1997 with nearly 1000 yards receiving and a record 6 punt returns for touchdowns. The explosive receiver was traded to Scotland where he had another great year with nearly 1000 yards, a 15.7 average and another touchdown on a punt return. Morris then went to his 3rd team in 3 years to Austria and was part of Mario Kreiners amazing team. He was used as a backup in 1999 however as the DarkKnights had the best ever trio of receivers in Morris, Dedric Smith and Mike Cadore. He won an FWL Bowl ring that year but longed to start at WR, the following year he made just 19 catches but had his best ever season as a PR with an amazing 855 yards, 23.1 average and 5 td's ! Morris continued as his role as a backup and PR and in 2001 made just over 500 yards receiving but made another 2 td's on punt returns and over 650 yards returning punts. He was finally traded back to Scotland where GM Ronnie Munro had longed to get back the deep threat. His first season back in Scotland was amazing as he made over 90 catches, nearly 1,400 yards at an impressive average of 15.0 yards and 5 td's. His numbers declined the following year and down again in his final season in the FWL in 2004. Morris however is remembered as the fastest most electric WR/PR ever in the FWL.

TOTAL Movassaghi who as well as having a very difficult name to type out all the time was during his long Paris career one of their best receivers and retired 2nd all time for the franchise. Movassaghi never had 1000+ yards but came close several times specially in 2003 and 2007. He caught a touchdown pass in 9 straight years and was a highly productive possesion receiver for the club and an ideal WR2. Despite his long career he only tasted the playoffs once in his rookie year then spent 8 seasons losing and never had a winning season the rest of his career. He linked up well with famous Paris QB Corey Sauter and finally retired this season after catching a low 27 passes.

TOTAL During his earlier years in his career Jim Murphy unofficially had some of the best comebacks ever ! He often saved his best play till late in the 4Q throwing late td passes to win games or just missing out in overtime in some classic ball games. Murphy was amazingly an EIGHTH round draft pick and actually started a few games for San Antonio during his rookie year. Mexico GM Joe Jackson saw something special in Murphy and traded for him where he started for the next 5 seasons. During those 5 seasons Murphy racked up more yards passing than any other QB in the league. He set an FWL record for passing yards in 2003 with 4,193 (since broken) and was the first QB in the league to break 4000 yards passing in a season. Murphy threw plenty of interceptions during his first 3 seasons starting in the league but he also made a ton of great plays. Murphy played behind a terrible offensive line for most of his career and was sacked an incredible FWL record 90 times during 2003 ! Murphy developed into a fine QB and cut down on the interceptions but without much of a rushing attack to help him through his career Murphy lost many games during his time with Mexico. He only took Mexico to the playoffs twice during his career and the last two seasons with Mexico he shared time with a young QB prospect. A fine QB though and he truely played some brilliant games early in his career.

Who was the #1 rated QB in the FWL's first ever season ? Believe it or not it was Pat O'Hara who took over from an injured Babe Laufenberg and who threw 14 td's with just 4 ints during his only extensive action in the FWL. The following season O'Hara started again for Ohio but lost his job after the first 4 weeks as he threw just 2 td's and struggled despite looking so great the season before. O'Hara went through his career being known as a QB who was great coming off the bench but not one who could start a game. After just two seasons with Ohio he moved to New York where again in a backup role O'Hara played very well and threw 5 td's and just 2 ints in relief of starting NY QB Tom Beck. He nearly caused a QB controversy with his play but the following season his play dipped again with just 1 td and 2 ints in spot appearances. The next 3 seasons O'Hara didnt throw a pass but was content as being a backup. He finally saw action in one game in 2004 where he completed 81% of his passes and threw a td. Because of his age he was let go by New York after 6 seasons but quickly signed with Paris and yet again O'Hara played well coming off the bench due to injuries and threw 2 td's for the Musketeers. He went to the playoffs 3 times during his career all with NY and was the backup for 3 AFC Championship games and also suited up for FWL Bowl III. A very good backup but O'Hara wasnt quite a starting QB. Return to top WR Jeff Ogden (Rhein Fire 2002-2010) Rec Yds Avg Lg TD 2002 RHE 61 733 12.0 33 2 WC

During his 10 year FWL career Pearson played for 5 different teams including two stints at Austria and Amsterdam ! He never played for more than two years with any one team ! Pearson came to Amsterdam in 1998 and finally saw action in the final week and impressed with over 150 yards rushing and receiving. He was promptly given the starting role the following year but struggled behind a poor line and ran for just over 400 yards at a poor 2.0 average. He did however catch 74 passes and his caught the Riders eye who traded for Pearson prior to the 2000 season. He helped lead the Riders to the playoffs but again had a poor year rushing despite a good year receiving. He then moved onto the DarkKnights after just one season and was a backup during the 2001 season. In 2002 he started all year and ran for over 1,000 yards including an amazing 17 td's on the ground ! Austria won FWL Bowl VI and Pearson assumed he would have a long career in Austria but shockingly Pearson was traded again this time to Orlando. Pearson must have had a lucky wand though as he ran for over 400 yards with Orlando splitting time at HB but helped the team to FWL Bowl VII where they won giving Pearson yet another FWL Bowl ring ! But despite the great season by Orlando Pearson was let go again and this time he went to Sacramento. He started for two seasons gaining over 1,500 yards rushing and scored over 20 td's on the ground and yet again there was success. He played in the AFC Championship game in 2004 but lost to his old team Orlando. Despite two straight years of starting Pearson was traded back to Amsterdam where he began his career and as a reserve RB he had limited success with over 200 yards. As always Pearson didnt last long and finally went back to Austria where he enjoyed success earlier in his career. Pearson actually played well in his final year in the FWL with Austria rushing for over 250 yards at over 4 yards a carry. He decided to retire after an FWL career of 10 years, 2 AFC Championship games, 1 EFC Championship and two FWL Bowl rings.

Pease was one of the superstars in 1997 and it seemed like a great career would follow for the veteran. The following year despite an injury Pease threw 15 td's and only 2 ints and led Birmingham back to the playoffs and to yet another AFC Championship game but the reigning FWL champions were upset by the lowly Mexico Aztecs 13-7 in an upset. A new GM came in 1999 and the 13 year veteran was shockingly cut as a youth movement started with the Fire. He latched on as a FA with Sacramento and played in a handful of games due to an injuries but he looked rusty all season and promptly retired after the season. Pease led Birmingham to a 22-6 regular season record and was also 4-1 in the playoffs and still is regarded as one of the best Fire QB's of all time despite just two seasons with the team.

TOTAL Petrus Penkki enjoyed an up and down FWL career. Originally drafted in the fourth round by Sacramento he was cut and then picked up by Austria. That year he started one game and gained an FWL Bowl ring with Austria. Over the next few seasons he played very well as a backup and during his first 4 years in the league he threw 16 td's and just 3 ints. He won another FWL Bowl ring with Austria but then a new GM arrived and chaos ensued. He traded for practically nothing many of the Austria stars and Penkki was one of the few players kept, he started during those two bad years under the worst GM in the world and on a very very weak team he played every game but his stats were not impressive. 26 td's and 19 ints and was sacked an average of 64 times each of those seasons. Penkki eventually moved to Paris as a backup and yet again did a great job with 3 td's and 0 ints. The next year due to injury he started for most of the season and threw 9 td's and over 1500 yards. He was back to a backup in 2008 but in 2009 in his only start Penkki was magnificent with 5 td's (Tying an FWL record !!) and 300 yards ! The next season Penkki took over from starter Corey Sauter who has every Paris passing record there is, but after a bad start to the season Penkki took over. His passing wasnt pretty and Paris had one of the lowest ranked offenses that year but all Penkki did was win ! Before Penkki started Paris were 0-3, then Penkki came in and went 7-2 in his next 9 starts. Penkki engineered one of the greatest wins ever in defeating 8-0 Austria. It seemed Austria may go undefeated but Penkki led Paris to a 20-17 overtime win. Entering Week 13 Paris were 7-5 and needed just one more win to make the playoffs for only the second time in club history, however they lose two close games away and Paris finished 7-7. Penkki enjoyed an amazing year with 14 td's and 3 ints and a 7-4 record. His play and leadership surprised everyone but during his career Penkki was an excellent QB, he never had the proper chance to show what he could do with Austria and only started the two seasons where the team were dismantled. Penkki however ended his career on a high with a brilliant final season.

TOTAL Perez enjoyed a great 5 year streak with Mexico where he led the team in receiving four straight years and who went to the playoffs 4 times during his 9 year Aztec career but each time tasted defeat. During his prime Perez was QB Jim Murphys favourite target in Mexico and he had 4 straight 80+ catch seasons including an impressive 95 catch season in 2003. However Perez eventually lost his starting role in 2006 and slid to the WR2 position. With young WR's coming through in 2007 he was surprisingly benched and finished the year with just 3 catches and decided to leave the FWL and try his luck elsewhere. A great WR during his prime Perez had 4 straight 1000 yard seasons and had 4 seasons with 87 catches and over. He still holds several Aztec receiving records.

TOTAL Probably the most famous FWL player of all time. During his FWL career HB Bobby Phillips and QB Stoney Case were the best partnership in the business. Phillips and Case led Frankfurt to the playoffs an amazing TEN straight seasons and Phillips was the main workhorse behind it all. Phillips was the leagues MVP in 1998 and 2002 (The only non-QB to win the award) and was also the EFC Offensive Player of the Year in 1998 and 2002. He also led the league in rushing 4 times including 3 times in a row from 2001-2003. He also was the leader in rushing touchdowns 3 times and led the league in touchdowns twice in 2001 and 2002 where he scored 32 td's in just two seasons ! Phillips also led the league in total yardage an amazing 6 seasons during his career including 4 straight from 2000-2003 ! He played in 6 EFC Championships, 3 FWL Bowl's and picked up two FWL Bowl winning rings during his career for FWL Bowl II and FWL Bowl V. Even during his final starting season in 2006 he managed over 1000 yards rushing and shocked the Sacramento Surge during FWL Bowl X where he ran for a 74 yard touchdown early in the game to give the Galaxy an early lead. He came back for one final season in 2007 at the age of 35 and helped mentor the RB's. He rushed for only 189 yards but that yardage gave him over 10,000 yards rushing in his career and when he retired he was the ONLY person with over 10,000 yards rushing (Over 3,500 yards ahead of his nearest rival), 110 td's rushing (40 ahead of his nearest rival) and also when he retired was the 3rd leading receiver of all time with 687 catches and another 38 td's. Phillips enjoyed an amazing successful career in the FWL and set a host of records including most points in a game (5 td's vs Montreal in 2003), most yards rushing in a season (1,494 in 1998), most yards gained in a season (2,116 in 1998 , only player ever to have 2000+ combined rushing/receiving yards in a season), the 2nd most rushing/receiving yards in a season (1,980 in 2003) and who retired as the leading scorer in league history topping any kicker or player with 892 points which were 148 td's and 2 2 xp's ! Phillips also ran for 4 200+ yard games and simply was the best ever player of all time edging QB Stoney Case. His team averaged 10 wins a season during his career and he played in an incredible 18 playoff games. A legend.

During the FWL's first ever season Phillips was just outstanding. He registered an incredible 25 sacks in 1997 (2nd all time in a season) and helped lead Birmingham to FWL Bowl glory against Scotland. The following year despite being double-teamed Phillips had another great year with 13 sacks as Birmingham went back to the playoffs but narrowly lost in the AFC Championship game. Surprisingly after the season Phillips was traded and he moved to San Antonio in an exchange of star DE's as the Riders David Bailey moved to Birmingham. Phillips didnt really pan out in his only year with the Riders and the high priced veteran was traded again after just one season in San Antonio. Sacramento who loved picking up veterans gladly traded for Phillips and he started just one season with the Surge and registered 7 sacks. At age 35 he decided to retire and despite just 4 seasons in the FWL Phillips left the league. Phillips was the leagues first great sackmaster and he was the leading sacker in the league for the first 6 seasons. He had an incredible 51 sacks in just 4 seasons in the league and won an FWL Bowl ring. His play never matched his amazing first season in the FWL but his 25 sacks that season will last a long time.

TOTAL Lawrence Phillips had an excellent career in the FWL for 11 seasons and went to the playoffs every year apart from one. He was a starting FB/HB in his rookie year with Austria and joined an already strong DarkKnights side. His play at FB earned him an All-FWL slot and he was named All-FWL again the next year after rushing for 750 yards in his first season at HB and catching 59 passes. One of the best trades Montreal GM David Harwood made was for Phillips and he was the main workhorse in Montreal starting for 6 consecutive seasons. During that time Phillips was one of the main reasons why the Machine turned into a powerhouse, Phillips played in 4 FWL Bowls, winning 3 FWL Bowl rings and also scored two touchdowns, one in FWL Bowl IX and one in FWL Bowl XIII. Eventually Phillips was a backup for his final 3 seasons in Montreal but whenever he was needed because of injury Phillips came in and did a great job. He started in FWL Bowl XII due to injury and with the score 20-17 to Montreal late in the 4Q Phillips converted a huge 3rd down and then a play later sprinted 60 yards to set up the final touchdown which gave Montreal another FWL Bowl win. He also started a year later in FWL Bowl XIII due to injury and scored a touchdown but Montreal narrowly missed out becoming the first ever 3 time champions due to a close overtime loss to Frankfurt. An excellent player in the FWL.

Philyaw had a brilliant rookie season with over 1000 yards to win Rookie of the Year but the next two seasons saw his numbers decline. He had 12 touchdowns in 2000 but struggled for just 487 yards rushing. The following season was better with over 800 yards but again his numbers went down the following season then yep you guessed it went backup for the next year ! During that 2003 season he rushed for a career best 1,092 yards and scored 14 td's including 12 on the ground. Eventually after winning back his starting job in 2006 Philyaw remained a backup in 2007 and in his final season with London in 2008 hardly got onto the pitch and saw action only on special teams. Retired as the 6th leading rusher of all time with over 6,000 yards rushing and also caught over 500 passes to finish ranked 7th all time with 11,510 total yards in the FWL. Went to the playoffs 6 out of his 11 years with London but didnt see much success with a 1-6 record in the 7 games he played in. Was a true workhorse in 2003 as he has the 2nd most and 3rd most rushing attempts in a game during that season (35 carries against Barcelona and 34 against Austria). Still holds rookie records for rushing attempts and rushing yards.

However he never averaged more than 3.5 yards a carry and for 4 of those seasons averaged less than 3 yards a run. His longest run in his career was just 51 yards (his only run for over 50 yards) yet Rasul had his bright points. He scored 24 td's on the ground between 1998-1999 and also caught over 60 passes 4 times. He finally lost his starting job in 2003 and was a backup for two seasons seeing limited action gaining only 10 yards in 2 years. Despite his low rushing average Rasul is still the Glory all-time rushing leader. Return to top

The Surge were shocked and sad when S Earl Riley announced his retirement after a brilliant 9 year career with Sacramento and later London. Riley was a 2nd round pick by Sacramento and immediately started as a rookie. He had a fine year to help the Surge reach the playoffs for the first time in many years and the defense improved from 13th to 3rd overall. The following season Riley had just 54 tackles but also had an interception which would be the start of an incredible 7 year streak of at least one interception. The streak was eventually broken in 2011 which proved to be his final year, Riley could have played many more years but wanted to retire at a high level and that he did. Riley was named All-FWL 4 straight years and when he retired he was the 15th leading tackler all time with 704 tackles. He never did get the interception record which he so badly wanted and finished tied 3rd all time with 14 interceptions just 2 away from the all time record. A great tackler also Riley had 5 straight 80+ tackle seasons to finish his career and averaged 78 tackles throughout his career. One of the worst retirements for the Surge said their GM at the time. A brilliant consistent safety.

Birmingham lost the final but it gave the young CB a taste of success which he wanted for the whole of his career. Ritzheim went back to the AFC Championship a year later but after his 3rd year and with no playoffs Ritzheim demanded a trade and was traded to the powerhouse Austria DarkKnights. Again his first season was successful in Austria as he went straight to FWL Bowl VI where he won his first FWL Bowl ring. Like many other great veterans Ritzheim was let go by the brainless GM at the time and he moved to Montreal which themselves were building a powerhouse. He started and helped take the team to the playoffs and then the next year won yet another FWL Bowl in FWL Bowl IX. He carried on starting the next few seasons and was excellent each year and won two further FWL Bowls ! He is one of a very few players to have four FWL Bowl rings and also played in a 5th. Finally as a backup in 2009 he was traded to arch rivals Sacramento and eventually won a starting spot. Even then he was productive with 2 ints despite being a backup for most of the year. He decided to surprisingly retire the following offseason and retired after a very successful career in the FWL.

Robinson however was just a backup the following two seasons and eventually was traded to Berlin where he started for two years. He won an FWL Bowl ring in his rookie year with Frankfurt and another as the starting WR in 2001 during FWL Bowl V. When he moved to Berlin he won a third FWL Bowl ring in 2004 when he started in FWL Bowl VIII. He returned to the EFC Championship game with Berlin the following year but the Thunder lost to Barcelona. He surprisingly retired after 8 seasons but tasted success with 3 FWL Bowl rings and also every season he played he went to the playoffs.

Ruffin intercepted 12 passes during his FWL career including a league best 6 in 1998. He played in FWL Bowl V in a loss to Frankfurt but went to the playoffs 4 times during his 6 year Glory career. Ruffin was then traded to Sacramento where he enjoyed success going to the playoffs twice in his 2 years with the Surge. An exceptional CB and was part of the best secondary of all time in the FWL.

When Sauter finally retired he had thrown for the 5th most yards ever in the FWL and more remarkably he did it all with one team. Sauter was the 4th overall pick at the end of the 1998 season and started on/off the next two years. Finally in 2001 he was given the starting role, he was sacked a huge 63 times and threw 10 interceptions to just 13 td's but surprisingly took Paris to the playoffs. This season in the end was the only season in which he took Paris to the playoffs ever in their history. The following year Sauter had a great year with 20 td's and 6 ints. He started for the next 4 seasons but in 2007 lost his job but reclaimed it later that year. In 2008 Sauter had his best season yet, 71% of his passes complete, 17 td's and just 4 ints for over 3,200 yards. Sauter started the next year but in 2010 he was finally surprisingly benched and Sauter threw only 22 passes all year. In his only start Sauter looked rusty and had a very poor game. Paris had a new GM in 2011 and the tough decision was to part with former fan favourite Corey Sauter. Sauter was cut and sat on the FA scrapheap all year but wasnt given a chance by any other team. He decided to retire after that season and after 12 seasons with Paris he bid farewell. Sauter obviously owns every Paris record there is (The franchise did move to Cologne for 2 seasons) and probably will hold them for a very very long time. After his first full season he turned into a very precise thrower and threw a season high 6 ints for the next 8 full seasons.

Phil Savoy was an excellent punt returner early in his career and also blossomed into a great WR and when he retired was ranked 17th overall in the league with 521 receptions. He also retired ranked 17th all time in punt return average with 11.0 and had nearly 1700 yards returning. Savoy returned 3 punts for touchdowns including a career long of 86 yards. As a WR Savoy had 3 1000 yard seasons with Mexico, he did spend two years as a backup WR in 2004-2005 but Savoy returned to the starting job for 2006-2007 until going back to more of a reserve role the following season. Finally Savoy started in his final season and taught the young Aztec WR's throughout the season. Savoy was a great deep threat in his final season averaging an impressive 18.0 yards a catch. In his last 4 seasons in the league Savoy had a touchdown catch of 79 yards or more in every one of those 4 seasons!

As a rookie he started after just 4 games with Ohio and started for the next 7 years with Ohio hardly missing a game and then started another 3 seasons with Sacramento and Barcelona. An exceptional middle LB Scharf just made plays all the time recovering 9 fumbles (6 during his first two seasons !) and intercepting a LB record 10 passes ! Scharf 46 sacks during his career, an amazing number for a LB and averaged nearly 4 sacks a season ! After his best ever season in 2005 with 91 tackles Scharf was surprisingly traded to Sacramento and during his first season he won an FWL Bowl ring with Sacramento. He played another season there going to the AFC Championship until the next season where he was traded in the season to Barcelona where he carried on starting. One of the top LB's of all time, Scharf made many plays in his career and intercepted a pass 8 out of his 11 seasons in the league ! A great LB.

TOTAL Scroggins was a very underrated LB throughout his whole career despite having some brilliant years. Scroggins started instantly with Sacramento and was one of the reasons why the Surge became a playoff team as he was one of the many young defensive players who started for the Surge and upgraded the whole team. Scroggins was a great pass rusher and had 37 sacks in his first 7 years in the league. He also recovered 6 fumbles and made 4 interceptions and went to the playoffs 6 times and played in 2 FWL Bowls winning a ring in FWL Bowl X. He was named All-FWL twice and helped Scotland reach FWL Bowl XI after moving there a season after winning the FWL Bowl with Sacramento. For 10 straight seasons Scroggins had over 50 tackles a season and at least 1 sack but finally in 2011 he was sent to the bench and never made it on the field. He decided to retire after that sad final season but for the vast majority of his career Scroggins was an excellent LB for Sacramento and Scotland.

Early in his Scotland career he linked up well with Dameyune Craig and the two enjoyed success statistically but not winning games. From 2000-2003 the Claymores failed to reach the playoffs but then in 2004 the hardwork paid off in a return to postseason action. The Claymores were a rushing team first but even though they didnt pass as much as other teams and often swapped their receivers around Sellers enjoyed 5 seasons with over 800 yards and had two 1000 yard seasons. He helped take his team to FWL Bowl XI where they narrowly lost to Montreal but finally after the Claymores slipped to a 4-10 record in 2009 Sellers decided enough was enough and retired. The real Donald Sellers won a World Bowl ring with the Claymores and scored some amazing touchdowns and just like the FWL's Claymores he linked up with Dameyune Craig on a record setting performance as Craig had over 600 yards passing.

TOTAL Larry Shannon burst into the league with two great seasons to begin his career, perhaps the best first two seasons for any rookie WR ever. Shannon totalled 156 catches in those two years and it appeared great things could happen for him. However Shannon was relegated to WR3 in 2003 as other WR's emerged for Montreal and he finished with only 23 catches. He bounced back in 2004 to post 76 catches as a possession WR but then faded back to the bench the next two seasons. Shannon won an FWL Bowl ring with Montreal in 2005 then was traded two seasons later two Scotland. He played as a backup in FWL Bowl XI ironically against Montreal but his final season in Scotland he was used again as a backup and caught just 14 passes. He retired soon after and sadly the great potential he showed earlier in his career never saw the light of day.

TOTAL The Surge badly needed a rushing attack and they decided to draft electric RB Brian Shay in the first round but Shay had a disasterous rookie season but finally started in his second year. Shay had a terrible average but it was in the years when defenses ruled supreme in the FWL, Shay had over 700 yards rushing and nearly 700 yars receiving, scoring 14 touchdowns as he was named All-FWL suprisingly. Despite the promising season he was relegated the bench the following year and over the next two seasons had just 99 yards rushing as Sacramento brought in different RB's for the main starting role. Eventually Shay was traded to Ohio where he actually started in 2006 and yet again had a decent season with over 700 yards rushing and over 600 yards receiving. After a poor start to the 2007 season he returned to the backup role with Ohio but played well for the team on special teams the next few years and was a valuable backup. In 2011 he started a few games due to injury and played very well but he decided to retire after the 2011 season. He did play in FWL Bowl XIV with Ohio but only on special teams.

Curtis Shearer was one of the top WR's during the 8 seasons he started in the FWL and at one stage it seemed that he would challenge possibly Toderick Malones all time records. Shearer burst into the scene in 1999 with Amsterdam and continued to start for 8 years. He was joint top WR in 2002 with 95 catches and had another 95 catch season in 2000. He registered 5 1000 yard seasons and topped 70 catches 5 times. During his career he never sadly went to the playoffs and played on a team which had just one winning season during his career. Despite being on one of the weaker teams in the league Shearer always gave it his best and had an excellent career. In 2007 he sadly lost his starting WR role and only caught 9 passes the whole year. However despite being 34 Shearer led the league in kick return average during his final year. Return to top HB Ken Shelby (Scottish Claymores 2001-2012) Att Yds Avg Lg TD Rec Yds Avg Lg TD

He started his career as a lowly rookie with the expansion DarkKnights in 1997 and had a brilliant year with 100 tackles and 5 interceptions. The following season he was injured and missed most of the year but still had 15 sacks and surprisingly 2 sacks as a blitzing CB. Finally healthy in 1999 he started all year and had an excellent year and won FWL Bowl III with Austria. Short continued to start for the next 3 years in Austria and also won FWL Bowl VI which proved to be his final game with the DarkKnights. A new GM laughingly got rid of all the veteran talent and Sacramento pounced on the great CB. He started instantly for Sacramento and was one of the main reasons why the Surge turned into a dominant powerhouse. Twice in his Surge career they ranked 1st in the league on defense. In 2005 he again was injured and saw limited action but as always he bounced back to have a fine year in 2005 and helped Sacramento win FWL Bowl X. He carried on starting the next few seasons, near the end of his career Sacramento tried to replace him with a younger CB but each time he came back to win the job back and at age 37 started his final season in 2009 and still was excellent with 2 interceptions and 61 tackles. He retired as the leading tackler of all time and 2nd in interceptions, just one away from the career leader. He won 3 FWL Bowl rings and went to the playoffs for 11 straight years and was highly respected by teammates. Ernie Short had a long productive career in the FWL and possibly retired as one of the top defensive players of all time.

Dedric Smith was the leagues first great WR who led the league in catches and yards in 1997. His 109 catches and 1,630 yards receiving were records for nearly 10 seasons especially his yardage that season. He was sensationally traded to the Austria DarkKnights in 1998 where he sadly suffered an injury during his first year there. He returned to the starting lineup after his injury in 1999 and won an FWL Bowl ring with Austria. However the DarkKnights had a great quartet of WR's and Smith was surplus to requirements. He moved to Sacramento where he didnt disappoint and had 3 great 1000 yard seasons with Sacramento, two of which he had over 90 catches. Smith shockingly retired after 20002 and left the FWL at age 28. During his 6 seasons Smith was among the best in the league and was a deep threat who retired with a 14.1 average and who made 480 catches in just 6 seasons. He topped 1000 yards 5 out of his 6 years, had over 90 catches 3 times and led the league in receiving twice. A great WR who sadly left the game too early.

He went back to the FWL Bowl in 2003 but his team was narrowly defeated by Orlando in FWL Bowl VII. Smith played two years as a backup and finally retired after the 2006 season.

When he did start Smith played well, in his first two seasons he had over 100 tackles and notched up 8 sacks in 1998. Smith also intercepted 5 passes and recovered 2 fumbles but for the last 6 years of his career had just 25 tackles ! He had 4 tackles the last 3 seasons and was used mostly as a coach to the younger players. He did win however an FWL Bowl ring in 2006 and played in several AFC Championship games but Smith was probably the longest ever backup on any team in the league.

Soloman was a great middle LB who only made one interception but recovered 4 fumbles and was also a great blitzer in the style of Lawrence Taylor. Soloman recorded 47 sacks in his career which is a great number for a lB and had an incredible year in 2001 with 104 tackles and 11 sacks. Under his leadership the Monarchs never finished worse than 9th defensively and his final two years starting in 2003 and 2004 the Monarchs defense was ranked the best in the league both seasons ! He went to the playoffs 6 times but the Monarchs record during that period was just 1-6. He eventually retired after being used as a backup in 2005 but during his time with the Monarchs he is regarded as perhaps the teams best ever defensive player.

Stacy burst onto the scene during the FWL's rookie year and was one of the top rushers that year finishing 2nd in the league with nearly 1,200 yards rushing. He helped the Claymores reach FWL Bowl I where they lost to Birmingham however the following year he had another great year with over 900 yards and 68 catches but the Claymores failed to make the playoffs. During 2000 Stacy suffered a huge injury and had to miss the rest of the season. He finished with just under 600 yards and nearly 50 catches but despite next season saying he was injury free Stacy sadly did not have the power or the speed anymore and he ran for only 233 yards at a terrible 1.7 average. He was still great in the air and caught 56 passes but his speed seemed to have disappeared and the following year he had only 58 yards rushing. Sadly after just 5 seasons Siran Stacy retired after failing to shake off the injury he had from 2000.

TOTAL Steele finished his career as the 5th leading rusher of all time with 6,584 yards and also scored 57 td's on the ground and caught 496 passes for 5,098 yards and another 23 td's ! Steele retired as the Skyhawks leading rusher by far and led the Skyhawks in rushing practically every season of his career. Despite not being on one of the top teams in the league and only making the playoffs twice Steele was a tough RB behind a very poor offensive line. He did have great speed and ran for 3 80+ yard td's and amazingly holds the FWL record for longest run ever which will never be broken ! Many think a 99 yard td would be the longest but the referee back in 2005 against Ohio measured his run as a 100 yard td sprint and the record will stand forever. Never broke 1000 yards in a season in his career or made the All-FWL team ever but a very good dependable back for his whole career.

For 8 seasons Mike Sutton was a member of one of the best d-lines ever and was very consistent as he averaged 11 sacks a year over 8 seasons. Sutton came into the FWL as a 2nd round pick and instantly started and had an incredible 17 sacks as a rookie. The following year he was double teamed more but still had 8 sacks. Then with the Surge making the playoffs for 6 straight years Sutton averaged 11 sacks during that time. Finally he started to decline in 2009 and had just 4 sacks as the Surge failed to make the playoffs, the next year he again declined and hardly played and made just 2 sacks as a reserve. Sutton decided to retire after 10 years with the Surge and finished 8th all time with 97 career sacks. An excellent pass rusher and a loyal player to his only team.

Tatum was an amazing athlete who started for 13 straight seasons and even last year started a handful of games. He registered at least one sack for 14 straight years which is an FWL record. He was originally picked in the first round by Austria back in 2001 and started as a rookie immediately. In his second year he had a great season with 85 tackles and won an FWL Bowl ring. He was then suprisingly traded to Frankfurt where he went to the playoffs 4 straight years and was named All-FWL 3 times. He played in FWL Bowl X with Frankfurt but the Galaxy lost to the Surge, ironically a team he would later join a year later. With Sacramento he had a fine year with 8 sacks and made the AFC Game with the Surge. With the Surge GM moving to London Tatum also joined him and carried on starting for the Monarchs. When he retired he had finished his career with an amazing 1042 tackles, made 63 sacks (just outside of the top 50 at the time), 11 fumble recoveries, 5 interceptions and was named All-FWL 5 times and went to the playoffs 10 times. Despite playing as a backup in his final game (A wildcard loss to eventual FWL Bowl winners Amsterdam), Tatum made just one tackle but did recover a fumble despite not playing much. Tatums records may never be broken, indeed his streak of 14 straight years with at least one sack might last forever. A great LB and probably the best all time.

As well as trading for several offensive and defensive stars Kreiner also found a gem in K Kendall Trainor who he traded for from Sacramento. His first year in Austria wasnt successful as he hit just 50% of his FG's but Trainor was impressive in his other 8 seasons in Austria during which he won two FWL Bowl rings with Austria for FWL Bowl III and FWL Bowl VI and then stayed with the team during their losing seasons. Even at age 34 during the 2006 season he still played very well but was cut the following offseason. Finally at the end of the season he was picked up by Montreal and had a chance to get back to the playoffs with them but he made only 2 of 5 FG's and was eventually cut just before FWL Bowl XI. Trainor eventually retired after his final unsuccessful comeback with Austria but retired as the leading kicker of all time with 869 points , only second in all time scoring to Bobby Phillips. Trainor led the league in scoring in 1999 and 2000 and continued to rack up the points after. One of the greatest kickers ever in the FWL.

Tucker was a 'sleeper' draft pick who was selected in the 8th round of the 2001 draft. He was picked 15th in the final round and saw limited action in his first three seasons. After 3 losing seasons in a row Tucker finally had the chance to start in 2005 and thanks to veteran QB Dave Barr, Tucker blossomed and had a breakout year with over 80 catches and nearly 1,200 yards receiving. The tandem of Barr-Tucker was a great one and the Fire went all the way to the AFC Championship game only to lose out to Montreal. Tucker was named All-FWL and carried on starting the next 3 seasons making over 1000 yards each year and he had two seasons of 90+ catches. Tucker was surprisingly only named All-FWL once and finally in his final season 2009 he was only WR3 but helped the Fire create a great trio of WR's and Tucker played very well as a deep threat averaging a career best 14.7 yards a catch. However Tucker decided to retire after the season and had an excellent 8 year Fire career and retired 33rd all time with over 400 catches.

As a rookie he put up impressive figures of over 60 catchs and over 800 yards but the following year he started a streak of 7 consecutive 1000 yard seasons. QB Phil Stambaugh to WR Jim Turner was a fixture for many years and Turner made a lot of huge plays. In his 8th year he set a career high of 93 catches and nearly 1,300 yards and then was devastated when the next year he was moved to WR2 and his figures were much lower and he missed 1000 yards for the first time since his rookie year. He bounced back the following year with 1000 yards exactly but the writing was on the wall in 2014 as his veteran QB Phil Stambaugh and Turner were benched. In came London who have a penchant for veteran players and they traded two draft picks for Turner. Turner instantly started and in his second game for London had 11 catches. He was moved to a WR2 / WR3 role but still performed well. He had one of his greatest ever games in his final season against Paris as he went 5 for 165 yards and 2 td's including a career high 86 yard bomb for a touchdown and in his final regular season start he snared in 7 receptions. He was shut out however in his final game, the wildcard game against Amsterdam and despite being wanted back the next year Turner surprisingly retired. Turner left the game ranked 3rd all time in receptions (808), 3rd in yards (11,239) and had 40 receiving touchdowns.

His name caused many FWL journalists nightmares as they constantly had to look up how to spell it but Iheanyi Uwaezuoke was one of the best WR's ever in the FWL and it was a surprise when he decided to retire after a string of 6 straight 1000 yard seasons. Uwaezuoke could have played many more seasons but decided to retire at the top, he finished his career ranked 3rd all time with 683 catches, 3rd in yards with over 9,500 and 4th all time in receiving touchdowns with 43. He was named All-FWL 4 times in his career and was one of the best and most feared WR's in the league. Uwaezuoke averaged an impressive 14.2 yards during his career and was Orlando Thunder QB Jon Dentons favourite target for a big play. In the AFC Championship in 2004 he had a huge game with 170 yards receiving and was also a great punt returner during his younger years. He scored a 31 yard touchdown reception in FWL Bowl VII which he said was his greatest moment as a player. A great WR who decided to retire at the peak of his career.

TOTAL Dutch HB/FB vanTeefelen was a 6th round pick by the Sacramento Surge and instantly started as a rookie. vanTeefelen carried on as the Surge FB for 5 straight seasons but Sacramento could never seem to get to the FWL Bowl despite some great seasons. After 2 AFC Championship losses and yet another loss in the playoffs GM Johns decided to try moving vanTeefelen at HB. The move worked wonders as vanTeefelen rushed for over 800 yards and scored 11 touchdowns. He was the difference to the team from previous years and Sacramento won their first ever FWL Bowl. It then came as a shock when he was traded to Scotland, Johns had brought in a new big name HB and as vanTeefelen wanted to start he gave him his wish and traded him. vanTeefelen was traded to Scotland where he played as a backup, he did actually go back to the FWL Bowl but lost to Montreal but then the next year he hardly saw playing time and had just 79 yards. Wracked with guilt about trading a fan favourite the Surge traded back for vanTeefelen in 2009 and he spent the majority of his last two seasons back with the Surge and retired as a member of the Surge in 2010 after having just one carry for the whole year.

Vlasic was a 6th round rookie who became one of the best FB's of all time.
He started as a rookie and had a great year but then was back to being a backup the following season. Vlasic took back the FB spot and became an excellent blocker and rusher. In 2003 Vlasic rushed for nearly 700 yards and was one of 3 Thunder RB's to gain over 400 yards that year. Orlando rushed to a FWL Bowl win and Vlasic won an FWL Bowl ring. Orlando returned to the final the following year, Vlasic had another great year and also scored the first touchdown in FWL Bowl IX but Orlando narrowly lost. He carried on starting and during his years with Orlando starting at FB Orlando was in the top 10 rushing teams of the FWL. Twice Orlando had the best rushing offense and Vlasic was a major reason why. One of the best FB's of all time.

TOTAL Charlie Ward was unlike any other QB in the rookie FWL league in 1997, he had
great scrambling abilities but for a QB he didnt seem too intelligent. Surely
intelligence is one of the most important things for a QB ? Ward proved them
all wrong, despite being knocked by doubters throughout his career Ward had a
fine long FWL career and had many high points. Young rookie Ward was named the
starter of the expansion Mexico Aztecs in 1997 and had a fine year being named
Rookie of the Year as he threw for over 3000 yards and 17 td's with just 5
ints. Ward was injured the following season and missed the Aztecs great
playoff run which ended up with them in FWL Bowl III with their 3rd string QB
as the starter due to injuries ! Ward came back from injury the following year
but didnt seem to be back to full strength as he threw just 9 td's and 10
ints. Ward was surprisingly traded to Sacramento despite leading the Aztecs to
the playoffs once again that season. In his first season Ward was knocked out
with another injury but still threw 8 td's and 6 ints, the following year was a
bad year for Ward in Sacramento and there was talk of him losing the job.
However the Surge traded for their former great Derek Holloway to rejoin the
team at WR and with Holloway and All-FWL WR Dedric Smith, Ward enjoyed his best
ever season the following year with nearly 4,000 yards (a record at the time)

out in the playoffs as he had to watch from the sideline, despite helping lead
the Surge to the playoffs young backup QB Todd Bouman had played so well in the
final week of the season he was named as the surprise starter the following
year. Ward had to be a backup the following 6 seasons but did pick up a FWL
Bowl winners ring in 2006. Ward played well coming off the bench late in his
career and helped turn Bouman into a quality FWL QB. After two straight
seasons without even throwing a pass Ward decided to retire aged 38 in 2009.
He enjoyed a successful long career and he had a joint record 13 seasons as an

TOTAL Christian Ward was an excellent pass rusher for the San Antonio Riders for many years and thanks to a loyal GM he started for a long time and despite being a backup in his final season he was chosen to start FWL Bowl XV which in the end was his final game but he went out with a bang with 6 tackles and a sack. A former 4th round pick Ward impressed the Riders GM so much in his rookie year he saw action on and off the next few seasons and finally blossomed into a full time starter in 2004 and started for the next 7 seasons. During those 7 years he averaged 10 sacks a year and when he retired he was the 14th leading sacker of all time. Ward was a very very consistent player but was surprisingly named All-FWL just once. However during the 2008 seasons Ward set a record by becoming one of the 4 Riders selected for the All-FWL game ! All 4 defensive line players for the Riders were named All-FWL ! Ward was eventually a backup in 2011 but saw his team make the FWL Bowl and due to impressing in his spot appearances he started the final and played very well before announcing his retirement. An excellent consistent pass rushing defensive end.

He rushed just 9 times but for an incredible -21 yards !! During those years the FWL was full of defensive powerhouses and the following year Welch still stumbled as he had just 6 yards on 7 carries. Over two years he had -15 yards on 16 carries, probably the worst two year span of any rookie in league history. Finally he got some starting action in 2002 under new Montreal GM David Harwood and was respectable with just over 350 yards but at a poor average. The next few seasons Welch was moved to FB where in tandem with HB Lawrence Phillips, Welch played very well and the duo started winning a lot of games and got back to the playoffs. After a terrible start to his career Welch won an FWL Bowl ring in 2005 and another one in 2007. With a whole host of injuries to the RB's in Montreal that year specially in the playoffs it was a major surprise when Welch had to start FWL Bowl XI against Scotland. Trailing 14-7 at halftime, Welch scored two second half touchdowns after 166 total yards (80 rushing, 86 receiving) and was named FWL Bowl MVP ! The following year he didnt see any action surprisingly and the fan favourite stayed on the bench all year. Then according to GM David Harwood one of the toughest moves he made was to trade Welch to Scotland where he hoped he would see some playing time. Welch only had one carry for a 14 yard gain and again sat on the bench for most of the season. He finally retired but after a nightmare start to his career in Montreal , Welch really developed into a fine FB and when called upon an excellent HB. Probably the least known FWL Bowl MVP ever, Welch walked away from the game with 3 FWL Bowl rings.

He took over the starting role later in the 1997 season and beat out Billy Joe Tolliver for the job. He led London to the playoffs for 5 successive years and for his first 4 years he had a QB rating of over 90. He threw for 3,000 yards four successive years until losing the starting role in 2002. However his playoff record was a poor 0-5 and that was one reason why he was replaced. An accurate QB White never threw for more than 8 interceptions in any one season but his total td's went in decline from 1998-2001 in which he threw a career low 12. As a backup in 2002 he was excellent and threw 4 td's in spot appearances, after 5 seasons of playoffs the first year he was not starter the Monarchs missed the playoffs for the first time ever. After a great showing as a reserve in 2002 he was surprisingly traded to his arch rivals the Austria DarkKnights. For years these two teams had battled each other and it was a surprise that White went to Austria. Indeed years later London GM Jason Compton said he had regretted White being traded to Austria. He only played one game for Austria in 2003 and that was in Week 13 against his former team London. 13 proved to be unlucky for White as he suffered a nightmare game completing just 14 passes for 172 yards and an interception before being injured and knocked from the game in a 27-0 pasting.

He hardly saw action as a rookie in 1998 and had just a sack but then over the next 4 seasons Zadel was one of the top DE's in the league and was excellent at sacking the QB and also making tackles. Zadel registered 59 sacks in just those 4 seasons alone and his 19 sacks in 2001 are the 4th most highest total in league history. Despite those great seasons registering 50+ tackles and double digit sacks Zadel was a one man sacking crew and had hardly any help from his defense. However the team grew stronger and despite lesser numbers the next three years (Mainly due to double-teaming) Zadel still had great seasons and helped Orlando to the playoffs. In his final 3 seasons the Thunder went to two consecutive FWL Bowl's (Winning FWL Bowl VII) and finally after a non playoff year in 2005 Zadel retired. He retired ranked as the best Thunder d-lineman of all time and when he retired his 80 sacks ranked in the top 5 of all time. His 58 tackles in 2000 is still a d-linemans all-time record in a season. A great pass rusher who had a great short 8 year FWL career. Return to top WR Adam Ziesel (Ohio Glory 2007-) Rec Yds Avg Lg TD

Zimmerman was one of the lynchpins on defense which helped Montreal become such a dominant force. He had at least one sack for 8 consecutive seasons and also recovered 2 fumbles and made 5 interceptions. He also went to the playoffs for 7 straight years and played in an amazing 4 FWL Bowls and won 3 of them. He only started 4 seasons for Montreal but during that time they went to 3 finals and won 2 of them. He was eventually sent to the bench in 2011 and made just 7 tackles but did a great job mentoring the Machines younger LB's.
