View from the sideline
By Lou I’m Lou, originally from Essex, and I grew up on a diet of Manchester United and Sunday local football with absolutely no access to American football. So when I told someone I was a New York Jets fan, they immediately asked, ‘What could you possibly know about the NFL? Well, let me take…

Back to Back
By Nic Ealing Fields… Say that name with reverence, for they are back-to-back flag football champions. You may recall an article that I wrote back in May 2023 about the inaugural London NFL Flag Football Championship that took place on a beautifully sunny afternoon in Ealing itself, where the Ealing Fields’ girls took the trophy…

Painting London Green 2024
By Alasdair Mackay I have been to Tottenham Hotspur’s Stadium a few times to watch Premier League matches.

What’s the game plan?
By Nic We were all there in the Barrow Boy & Banker, the Jets chants rang loud, the beers flowed and Cockney John Crow photobombed Christopher Johnson whilst poking his tongue out. The Jets had just launched a Twitter feed specifically for the UK and, not long after this, were awarded the international marketing rights…

American Football in London – more than just the Jets and NFL…!
By Seb If you’re reading this article, you’re probably like me – you’ve watched countless NFL games, obsess over all things New York Jets and can never get enough of NFL media. But, I pose a question to you… have you ever played the beautiful game? Have you ever coached American Football? Have you ever…

London is not Canton
By Gus I approach what appears to be quite a boring looking concrete building. I push the double doors open and immediately walk into a room that is reminiscent of a library from the 70s, except this room does not have any bookcases in it nor any books, it has a mismatch of carpet on…
