(Germany) 1999-2001 Bristol Aztecs. 2001-2004 Ramstein Rogues. (Germany) 2004-now Little Rock Rhinos, Arkansas. My 1st "real" nickname, given to me by Jake Hilder III, (the then Head Coach of the Glasgow Lions) was "Dougie" (after Doug Flutie) as i'm not the tallest guy to play QB. Played with some of the best athletes and greatest guys ever to play football in the UK :-) Introduced "Scott Couper" to football back in the days of the Lions youth team...used to bust his fingers on a regular basis lol. Had my most fun ever, playing with the guys on the Clydesdale Colts back in the 80's. What a great bunch of lads they were. Watching Davie Orr run the football was something special...never could understand how someone who was so upright in his running style and such a target week in and week out, still produced the goods as well as he did...a truly awesome player. Being able to throw the football to my brother (Iain) was also a very special experience...he was a very gifted receiver, great speed and hands...very under-rated! Best moment in UK football? Too many to mention...but throwing 5 TD's against the East Kilbride Pirates back in 1988 does spring to mind! :-) Now living in the USA, married to an American woman I met while stationed in Germany with the RAF. Still playing football at 35 and loving it as much as I always have. And yes, still "short" for a QB! Posted 10th July 2005

Dean, Robert "Bob" - “Following an amazing football career spanning some 25 yrs, representing teams such as London Olympians, Bob is now married and living in Croydon with his wife and children. Bob no longer plays football after hanging up his shoulder pads several years ago, but his amazing running and trade mark tackle can still be seen at Frant Park, home of Streatham-Croydon RUFC – the 5^th oldest rugby union club in the world. He has been an inspirational member of the rugby club since he joined in the early 80’s, and captained the club and first XV for many seasons. Playing prop forward or number 8, Bob has been the scourge of Surrey for almost 2 decades, and teams who play against him are well aware of his highly revered reputation before he steps onto the pitch. It is not just on the sporting arena where Bob makes a difference; he also supports many charities, and gives up much of his free time helping under privileged children. Bob ‘Dean Machine’ Dean (below) – a true legend.” Posted 30th November 2005

Dickinson, Mike - Manchester Allstars centre #53 - I am now happily enjoying early retirement from work due to illness.  Still living in Salford and have fond memories of 1987 season and all the fun and some tough games we played, especially the play-off game against the Olympians 25-24 and how we didn't beat the Ravens in the final as I believe with more effort and commitment from everyone we could have beat them that day. Anyway, I feel privileged to have played with some excellent athletes from both U.S.A and home, regards to the likes of Trojans such as P.Boomer, D. Riley, D. Waterson, and a special Hello to Paul Ashton and Joe Mahmood.

Dommett, Andy - Ex East Kent Cougars "He was a great player.  He is about 5ft 7” tall which gave him a low centre of gravity and he could make amazing cuts whenever needed.  As well as being powerful up the middle one of our key plays was the sweep right or left.  Andy would take almost a 90-degree angle from the snap and I would pass him the ball to him like a scrum half.  This would often leave him one on one with the OLB (if he hadn’t blitzed) as well as CB/SS/FS.  Always made yards.  A tough guy who was an exceptional player for us.  I think he still lives in Folkestone and teaches PE."

Jenkins, Ian - Ex-East Kent Cougars. "In our 10-0 winning season Ian Jenkins was MLB in the best defense in the league.  We had a potent offence but the foundation of our success that season was a mad bunch on defense with three great Linebackers.  We used to say on offense that the hardest games we ever played were against our own defense.  Game time was never as intense.  Ian was the best of the bunch that included Graham Blundell and Peter Broome.  He is 6ft 3” and 17 stone.  He is quick, has great hands and best of all a great reader of the game.  He would hover next to the center at the snap and would often sack the QB almost as soon as he had the ball.  I should know – he still says I was easy to read!  If we wasn’t successful this would open the way for the other guys to make plays.  Finally he also played running back when Andy was tired!  Ian actually scored over 50 of the points in the 148-6 beating of the Maidstone M20’s – a mixture of TD and interceptions.  I played for 4 years with the Cougars and in all our games I never saw a better linebacker Americans included.  I might be biased but I am sure if you asked a few players from that era they would remember him.
