Hall of Fame - Mark Cohen
Year
of induction: 2005
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.
