Fandom facts

First Superbowl watched on TV: Super Bowl XX Bears 46 New England 10
First Superbowl memory: William 'Refrigerator' Perry
NFL team: Eagles fan since 1985 at the dawn of Buddy Ball.
Reason for picking Eagles: I nearly picked the Vikings because their kit was cool but plumped for the Eagles as parity should bring them back to the Superbowl soon. Little did I know I would have to wait for 20 years before they returned.
UK team(s):
1 London Ravens 1985 till they folded in 1992. Again the kit was cool and whilst I was studying in London (1987-1991) they were my local team.
2 Birmingham Bulls 1992 till 1997 game in UK died for me. Job took me all over the place and disarray in UK put me off a lot. World league not enough.
3 Shropshire Revolution 2007 to date. A new dawn, a local team with cool kit - notice a theme ;-) Having dabbled with Redditch and Chester the previous year up pops a new team less than 15 miles away. No brainer.
Favourite player UK: Victor Ebubedike RB, London Ravens
Favourite NFL player: Walter Payton. A god, who even appeared as a panelist on the BBC's Question of sport
First football game attended: European Championships - 1st Qualifier 1st leg, 2nd November 1986, Great Britain 9-6 Netherlands
Memories of my first game: GB win. Discovering my namesake, also living in Bridgnorth, winning a competition in Gridiron UK. Getting food poisoning at half time and being very ill on the way home.
Most memorable Superbowl: XXII San Francisco 20, Cincinnati 16 1989. I had a bet on at Ladbrokes for a tie at half-time and the Bengals to win at full-time. (A big gamble considering there had never been a tie at half-time, so the odds were long.) Jim Breeches field goal with 3:20 left on the clock lined me up for over £100 profit from the bookie. A paper profit wiped out by Joe Montana with 34 seconds left. Bummer. Since then I have always placed a bet on a tie at half-time with the underdog winning at full-time.
Fantasy Football team: Tootin Trashcans played in leagues since 1999 won six titles runner up once. Mostly NFL FF but also Yahoo Sports.
Other games: Madden, Gameplan play-by-mail, Goalline Blitz mmorpg
Sound of the game: Frankie goes to Hollywood - Two Tribes. Used by Channel 4 to round up the weeks action from the NFL
Other Heroes of the game: John Madden - top coach, announcer and the name of the best football sim. Merrill Reese simply the best radio play-by-play announcer of Eagles Radio.
Radio saviour: AFN radio. Listening to scratchy radio coverage of NFL games on Long Wave whilst travelling down to London on a Sunday was all I had to keep me going for years.
