Im Shani (S7ani)
I'm older then Ken!
I live and work as an analyst in London
49ers are my team - also into College football (Vols)
I got into the sport in the mid 80s
As I used to live in Wembley I've pretty much seen it all re NFL
and the London Monarchs! except for the Miami Game a few years
back!
i guess we al love the game here but in terms of specific
strengths from outside football which may help the committee -
''I am good with writing reports and preparing presentations -
im also an early riser (which may not sound like something worth
saying butive been told its good to have someone to pass the
ball to overnight!) and as I'm based in London I'm happy to help
with any organising of the grou[ that may be beneficial to me
being here
i think the committee is a terrific thing - lets find a way we
can all contribute!

Kevin Paterson
Aged: 30something.....
Live in Birmingham although born in Hull and brought up in Tyne
and Wear
Support the 49ers, they've been my team since 1987 and I can
probably tell you the result of almost any game they've played
in the last 25 years (if not the score....well not always;-)
Also support Sunderland AFC, England, Durham and Yorkshire
cricket, SF Giants baseball, England rugby, St Kilda Aussie
Rules.
Like I've said before, I think I bring a few things to the
committee along with my NFL passion: I'm well travelled and I
know plenty about many worldwide sports and how they market
themselves; I'm very good with numbers and have a degree in
Economics; I essentially run a business within my accountancy
firm so I can write a good proposal/business plan; I'm pretty
well connected to lots of different social groups so I think I'm
well tuned into how the NFL is perceived across a broad spectrum
of society.

Ok here goes.
Mark Campbell
Glasgow
46 ish
Proffesional Photographer.
A Raiders fan since 1982 when I first seen the NFL on World of
Sport for a 15min segment, and thought thats for me. I have
followed it ever since. Got invoved with The Scottish Claymores
helping out at the offices and travelled over Europe supporting
them. My daughter also became one of their Cheerleaders.
The fan Committee is a great idea for both the NFL and fans,
bit of a chance that AK and the office is taking but as I said
they really are looking at it from the UK fan side. It means the
fans have a voice to be in the mix for this sports growth in the
UK.

I'm Chris Wells.
Im 39(40 next month, 4th Aug)
I live in Hemel Hempstead, Herts, though born and raised in
Halifax, NS, Canada. Am a dual-citizen.
I am a secondary school teacher, and have been for the last 17
years.
I am well travelled and have lived in Japan and New Zealand
before moving to the UK.
I support the San Francisco 49ers. While I love the current
Niners, I have yet to have a favourite player from this team,
and it is hard to choose when your favourite player was Montana.
Glad they went back to the 80's style/colours.
Also a fan of Watford FC, Barcelona FC,and the Montreal
Canadiens, Halifax Mooseheads and my uni team for Canadian
football, the Saint Mary's Huskies.
Got in to NFL in 1990. Lost touch with the sport for 7 years
(while living in Japan), and got back into it slowly when I
moved to the UK.
This year will be my third IS game.
I am equally passionate about getting a better experience for
the fans at the IS, as well as boosting the game's profile in
the UK.
I think we all have a great opportunity here not just as a
committee, but as ambassadors (including non-committee members
who are fans) to promote the game in our own regions. We are all
NFLUK members, so why not NFL Booster Clubs around the country
for all fans, irregardless of team affiliation, getting
together.
Looking forward to working with you all.

I'm Dan Jarvis.
I'm 21 years old.
Live in Salisbury, working as an administrator for a Pensions
company.
Fan of the NFL for seven years now, the interest has never
wavered. My current affiliation in terms of supporting a team is
with the Eagles, though in all honesty I'm more a fan of the
game in general. I've never properly settled with one specific
team, liking numerous ones. Having no strong connection with an
area in the States, I've always liked the idea of following a
team from each respective conference, ensuring I follow each
equally extensively. At this rate, I may have to resort to
drawing out of a hat, watch this space, haha.
Also a lifelong Southampton FC fan, an obsession passed down
from my father. Season ticket holder, follow the team here,
there and everywhere.. Though NFL instantly became my favourite
sport upon discovery. What with an even playing field, rare
instances of cheating and a lack of foregone conclusions, what's
not to like!?
The passion began simply by randomly picking up a copy of the
Madden video game back in 2005. After playing, I decided to
research the sport, learning the game properly and as soon as
everything became clear, there was no going back! My passion had
begun.
As well as attending International Series games, this year I am
planning my first trip to the States to attend games in a pure
American atmosphere, as well as getting involved with my local
team based in Hampshire. Hopefully these experiences will
further enhance my knowledge of the game.
It is a true honour to represent such a well informed,
passionate collection of fans that exist in this country, I
couldn't imagine collaborating with a more well suited group of
committee members either.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to have our say, for
the game that we adore so much and hopefully make a difference,
in terms of it's growth, for years to come.
Here's to future progression.
Dan (Jarvatron)

I'm Roy Forsdick,
35 years old, been into the game since the mid-eighties and I'm
a big Bears fan and also used to go to many of the UKgames as a
kid following the recently reformed Bournemouth Bobcats.
I've been to three of the IS games and also been lucky enough to
visit Miami when the BEars were playing the Dolphins and also to
Tampa for the Steelers / Cardinals Superbowl (although we didn't
get tickets)!
I've also been on the Waddle and Silvy radio show a couple of
times which is ESPN Chicago's dedicated Bears show.
Cheers

Graham Roberts (ham89)
23 and 12 days.
Massive Pats fan (sorry) and have been for a while! First
exposed to the NFL on a family trip to Florida in October (many
moons ago). Managed to watch a few games on TV while I was there
and instantly loved it. Didnt have a team until I became close
friends with a few people from Norton, MA (which is literally a
few miles from the Gillette Stadium). They got me hooked on the
Pats and the rest is histor.
Was at the Pats @ Bucs game, was the best weekend of my life.
Going back this year and I usually follow the NFL on sky/4/the
interwebs. Always host an annual suberbowl party, think Im up to
5 or 6 now, had many a laugh with them.
Massive fan of the sport however I would not support a UK
franchise should one be created.
Thats all folks.
