Team Notes: Started as a breakaway team from the crosstown Spartans in 1984 and had heavy rivalry with them. Following the sacking of Harry Lyons quit as Head Coach in early 1987, but they emerged as a major force, when they challenged the London Ravens for the Budweiser Bowl and looked to have the nucleus of a good team.

1987 pre-season article

Coached by NCAA Div II coach Bobby Williams in 1988. Lost ground in 1988 due to a mid-season loss of US players and coaches. 1989 brought genuine expectation of success inside the club and growing fear of it's sizable and skilled roster by rival teams. The team gained an exciting rushing prospect in Merseyside Centurions Andy Iwedeibo.

After another season of internal wranglings followed. Chairman Dave Leach said, "Bad? It was not the results we were confidently expecting (following a 2-8 season) with this squad. We thought we could go all the way. It's partly due to key injuries (QB Danny Ford in particular) and partly due to a clash of ego's greater than playing abilities and too much partying." Tried to re-establish themselves with new American personnel in 1989, but only managed two wins. Folded during the 1990 season.
