In 1991, their first year of existence, the London Monarchs won the
first World Bowl title at Wembley. Just seven years later the team had
folded and swiftly disappeared from the public consciousness. This book
recounts the true story of the only professional American football team
to ever exist in England. It details each of the Monarchs' seasons, both
statistically regarding on-field performance and culturally with the
American players' stories of their experience in London. It also delves
into the history of the NFL's European experiments, the World League of
American Football, and NFL Europe. Chronicling the Monarchs' surprising
rise and shocking decline, Alex Cassidy has interviewed players,
coaches, and fans to pinpoint the successes and failures of the flagship
European franchise.
