RARE 1994 American FOOTBALL LEAGUE OF EUROPE (FLE) Great Britain Spartans Jersey. #24 (I have not found a roster listing for the team--I do not know the player's name).

Made in the UK by TOPSPEED. Net style with breathable fabric. The Football League of Europe (FLE) was a European American football league.

It was founded in 1994, renamed 1995 in American Football League of Europe (AFLE) and dissolved after the 1995 season because of the ongoing financial problems. The league was founded in 1994 under the leadership of the German team Hamburg Blue Devils. The Blue Devils left the league after the 1994 FLE season going back to the well established German Football League for the 1995 season. After the 1994 season, three other teams also left the league.

The league folded following the 1995 season. Eight teams from five countries competed during the first season in 1994. Teams were allowed to have up to 10 American players per roster, activating eight for each game. Notable players include Great Britain Spartans running back Victor Ebubedike and Munich Thunder quarterback Tony Rice.

Nordic Vikings quarterback Tim Petersen led the league in passing with 3,027 yards and 37 touchdowns. In 1995 the name was changed to the American Football League of Europe. After that season the league was disbanded.
