Allstar QB's
Jason Elliot
Started at the
Hackney Barbarians in 1987, and moved onto the London Olympians in 1988 where he
was largely the backup to import QB's. His talent showed through though, and he
was selected as the starting QB for Great Britain in their successful 1989
European Championship. Moved to the London Capitals in 1990 winning two titles,
and in 1991 started in the GB Lions European Championship win. Moved onto the
Kent Mustangs in 1992, taking them to the Division Two Bowl game. Moved to the
Northants Storm in 1993, and then onto the London Rockets in 1994. He left the
sport in the 1995.
Stuart
Franklin
Franklin started for the London O's from the 1996
season, where he led them to the Division Two title. In 1997, he led the GB
Lions to a thrilling European Championship qualifying win in Madrid with a late
bomb to Mark Cohen that secured a 17-14 win (his only GB cap). In 1999 he moved
to the Sussex Thunder where they made the playoffs in two successive seasons,
and following the demise of the Thunder he returned to the Olympians in 2001
where he has been ever since.
Tom
Britton
Britton started at the Brighton B52s Juniors and
Youth Flag team, before joining the London Capitals. He
was a three-year starter for the team, playing at both the quarterback and free
safety positions. He led the team to the national championship in 1999 and was
named the championship MVP. Britton also played four years for the All-Great
Britain national team. Serving as the team’s captain, the squad won two silver
medals at the European championships. Attended
SUNY-Morrisville for two years. While at Morrisville, he was the starting
quarterback and was a second-team all-conference selection in
2001.
Moved to Cornell University for his senior year in
2003, and in 2006 moved back to the UK and had a stellar year with the London
Blitz as he led them to their first win against the London Olympians, and onto
their first national final appearance.
