RE: AMERICAN FOOTBALL -- In The UK…
In the 1980s, American Football was huge over here in the UK. That's when I use to watch it. Pretty much everyone did. The Chicago Bears were massive. William 'The Fridge' Perry, was a household name. 'Walter Payton'... I still remember them now.
Obviously NFL was not as big as football then. But if they had an NFL team in the UK back in the 80s it would have been massive. Not sure how big it is now (I no longer watch NLF), but I'm sure there are a fair few hardcore NFL fans in the UK. You can still watch plenty of NFL matches live on cable TV. The world is smaller than you think!
WOW! I had no idea -- the 1980's!!! That was some team "The Bears" in the 80's. It just freaked me out, a bit, because I know how serious they are about European Football over there, in the UK... Thanks fro filling me in @nanzo-scoop, I must have been living in a cave, or something :))
