Allstar Wide Receivers
Allan
Brown
A
fantastic athlete who would possibly have played NFL if he had been born in the
USA.
Mark Cohen
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.
Scott
Couper
Set numerous records in eight seasons with the Glasgow Lions starting off as
a 16 year old at the Lions Youth team. At the Lions notched up 410 career points
(67 touchdowns, four two-point conversions), 295 career first downs, 5,428
career receiving yards averaging 16.3 yards per catch ... Career receiving yards
and touchdown records place him second on all-time British amateur charts
(British American Football Association) for receiving, behind fellow Hall of
Famer, Mark Cohen. In 1991 played one season with Strathclyde University Hawks
in the British Collegiate American Football League where he later returned to
coach receivers.
Selected for the Scottish Claymores in 1995, and played through to the
conclusion of the 2004 season (when the Claymores organization was shut down by
the NFL) he had played in a league record 87 games and caught a national player
record 107 passes for 1,157 yards and a Claymores-record 12 touchdowns.
Also selected to play for Chicago Bears against Pittsburgh Steelers in
American Bowl in Dublin on July 31 1997, thus becoming the first Scotsman to
play in the NFL.
Jon
Williams
Jon Williams started his career with the Farnham
Knights Youth team, and went to the States to play for Bethany College, Kansas
and St.Josephs, Wisconsin. He was a key part of their 2000 Division Two winning
side, and in that year caught 556 yards and 8 TDs, as well as scoring 3 TDs in
the final. He retired after 2000, but returned in 2002 and retired after that
campaign.
Leroy
