Nash, Colin – Year of induction: 2005

An exceptional fullback from the earliest days of Britball with the Birmingham Bulls, he was team captain of the Bulls that won Summerbowl II against Glasgow in 1986, and also competed in Eurobowl I that same season with the Bulls. Started for GB in their first ever international against France in 1985. Moved to linebacker in 1987, and turned into one of the hardest hitters in the game.


Led the NDMA league in tackles in 1991 with 80 solos, and was ranked second in 1993 with 57 solos. Also featured in the top 10 tackler list in 1994.


Played in all four national titles that the Bulls won from 1986 to 1995, and also for the GB Lions in both the 1989 and 1991 European Championship wins. Retired at the end of the 1995 season the Bulls won their fourth national title.


In an era when British sides were paying large sums of money to import players, Nash showed that he could compete with the very best of them.
