Touchdown UK: American Football: Before, During and After Britain's Golden Decade

Think of the 1980s and one sport springs to mind - American football! When Channel Four first screened the sport in November 1982, they kick-started a decade-long boom in the sport in the UK. Touchdown UK looks at the history of the sport before that historic first screening, what happened to make the sport so popular between 1983-1993 and what happened when the excitement died down. Author Nick Richards has spoken to players, coaches and Air Force men who have played the game in the UK and focuses mainly on that ten year period when no sport in the country could touch gridiron for its sheer glamour.
