Hall of Fame
- Mark Cohen
Year of induction: 2005
The leading WR
in Britball history in terms of yardage (and probably any other
category). Mark started his career at Sutton Coldfield Royals in 1988
as an 18 year old, before moving onto play for the Redditch Arrows in
1990. After a decent season with the Arrows, he joined the Birmingham
Bulls in 1991. After a lack of gametime, he moved to Coventry in 1992
but after a great season returned to the Bulls where he made the WR
slot his own. After a stellar 1994 season (74 catches and over 1,000
yards) he was selected to play for the London Monarchs in the 1995
season, and also took the Bulls to the 1995 national title.
He has the GB
record for most GB caps (12) in a national career spanning since 1995,
and also scored the winning TD in the 1997 qualifier in Madrid against
Spain.

In 2005, he
joined the Coventry Jets and caught 1246 yards placing him 8th
on the alltime list for receiving yards in 1 season, and also broke the
record for most receiving TD’s in one season with 33 on the
way to clinching the Division Two title. In 2006 caught 11 for 228
yards (6th on the alltime list for yards in 1
game) against the Birmingham Bulls, and caught 11 for 154 yards and a
TD in the Jets Division 1A Bowl game win over the Bristol Aztecs.
In 2007, he led the Jets to the national final
against the London Blitz
and despite retirement rumours returned in 2008 to post 33 catches for
805 yards and 13 TDs as well as the national title for the Jets.
