<p>I was at Ramstein from 81-84 and we had full contact, American-style football teams. We had teams in Zaragosa, Torrejon, Bitburg, Hahn, Spanghalem, Zweibrucken, Wiesbaden, Upper Heyford, Mildenhall, and I believe Lakenheath, oh and Sembach. </p><p><br></p><p>I remember us beating Sembach one season 74-7 and 50-6.</p><p><br></p><p>There was also fast pitch softball, basketball and a few other sports. The talent level was very high and it was kind of like in the movie M.A.S.H. Players were recruiting as they came into the theatre. </p>

I'm pretty sure RAF Lakenheath had a team. There were one or two guys that were recruited but it could have been for Mildenhall. As I recall that was a pretty big deal, 79-82

And yeah Mildenhall was very good and we played against them near London. I loved London and am grateful for the chance to live in Germany, although I was disallowed from giving blood after being stationed there because of Mad Cow.

I played wide receiver on the USAFE (1979) Championship Lakenheath team. The two years that I was there (1979-80), Lakenheath was UK champs both years and USAFE champs. I don’t have any knowledge of recruitment. I was not. The best player in the league those days was Chops Chambers. He played for many years at Lakenheath and later Chicksands. Chops was, and still is a good friend. He never mentioned being recruited. Billy Allen, another star running back was recruited……..to Florida State. He was later drafted by the New Orlean Saints.
I am also unable to give blood.

i was a member of those great football teams in that time frame. Some of the best times. We worked very hard and were very successful. Attendance at those games was awesome.

Your post reminded me of Ft Ord in California after it closed. It was my first active duty assignment and when I see the videos of the place now it just bothers me. I also think about all the grass cutting and rock painting we did to keep the CSM's area squared away and what he would say now.
Glad I'm not on that detail.
