QB Dave Arizu, 1994



RB Vito Villiu, 1991

Team Notes: Formed from the Bedford Stags team that played in the 1989 season. Highly successful side from Bedford who competed for five years and never had a losing record. Made playoffs in 4 out of those 5 years. Their playoff record was disappointing compared to their regular season record. They lost two Bowl games in 1993 (to Bournemouth) and 1994 to their local rivals the Milton Keynes Bucks. Previous player Bob Flickinger ended up playing for Scotland Claymores and then to the Kansas City Chiefs. WR John Mensah went to Rutgers in 1993 to try to make the team as a walk-on. Mensah began with the Newmarket Hornets joining Bedford in 1993. Previously known as the Bedford Stags. Merged with the Northants Storm in 1995 to become the Storm Bombardiers
