About

Major League Football was a Publicly-Traded American Football League that intended to begin play in Spring 2020 with six unannounced teams. It announced the completion of purchase of former Alliance of American Football (AAF) equipment – a AAA (2nd Level) American Football League that played one season in 2019. It also trademarked 10 team names, which presumably would have been arranged in two Conferences – East and West – as seen above. [Ref: 1-3]

Adrian Young Irish-Born NFL, Pro and College American Football Player 1964-1975

Adrian Young

Height: 6-1 Weight: 230

Born: 03 January 1946, Dublin (Ireland)

CollegeL: Southern California Trojans (1964-1967)

Draft: 3rd Round (68th Overall), PhiladelphiaEagles (1968)

Pro: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL 1968-1972), Detroit Lions (NFL 1972), Chicago Bears (NFL 1973), The Hawaiians (WFL 1974-1975)

Adrian Young Philadelphia Eagles 1972 [Ref: 6]

Adrian Young, born in Dublin, Ireland, played for the Hawaiians in the World Football League from 1974-1975, as well as Philadelphia Eagles (1968-1972), Detroit Lions (1972) & Chicago Bears (1973) in the National Football League beforehand. [2]

He was born in Dublin, and grew up in Albert Court, across from Boland Mills, the famous bread company. His grandfather had delivered bread for the company on a horse-drawn cart. His mpther was a baker and he went to school in St. Canice’s CBS on North Circular Road, ‘a tough place’ and also Westland Row and Haddington Place.

He would go to hurling and football matches at Croke Park, and got to participate in a track meet there, an experience which meant a lot to him. He got involved through his father in Football in the Phoenix Park. They were a typical Dublin family – his mother came from a big family and they grew up opposite them. They took one bath a week, and his mother heated the water on the stove.

It was the middle of the 1950s, however, and with a large amount of emigration, and his father decided to follow in the footsteps of some of his siblings and move to Baltimore in Maryland, USA. They went to Cobh, in Cork, and took a big boat – the SS United States – on a six or seven day trip across the Atlantic – a journey which remains a vivid memory for Adrian. They landed in New York, and they didn’t have much money. Their father was supposed to pick them up. The car broke down enroute to Baltimore, and they waited six or seven hours in New York for him. He managed to get there eventually, and got to Baltimore, where they were “two strange kids walking around Baltimore” (Adrian and his brother). Their parents got them long pants for the first time.

His fther got a meat-packing job in Baltimore but it wasn’t long before California beckoned, and they drove all the way along the Appalachian Trail, all along Route 66, in a 1953 Ford, before they arrived in Southern California. They settled in La Puente, about half an hour outside downtown Los Angeles. Young attended Bishop Amat High School, and with no soccer on the activities list, joined the Football team, American Football, that is. Their coach was ex-Notre Dame, who wad played under the legendar y Frank Leahy. They won an Inter-State Championship and Young was selected as one of the best players around.

Being Irish, and from a small island, and then being in a big place like the United States of America and Los Angeles, it made him feel more comfortable in it, being good at something over there, like Football. They never had much money, but they were told life was opportunity, and to go after it, so even though Football was alien to his parents, they saved up to buy football cleats.

He was slight though, only 165 lbs, and decided to dedicate himself to training. He won a scholarship to USC (the University of Southern California), he would otherwise have never have afforded to go to University. They had won National Championships a few years previously. Young is part of the USC legend, which is something considering the athletes there over the years. He was co-captain of a side containg OJ Simpson, Tim Rossovich and Ron Yary – all legendary American Footballers. It was during one game against longtime rivals Notre Dame , that Young made NFL teams sit up and notice. . He made four interceptions in the game, which tied a conference record. The LA Times referred to it as “Young’s greatest day” .

With OJ Simpson, one of the greatest Pro and College players ever, on the team, the went all the way to the Rose Bowl, one of the top College Bowls, and Young was selected as an All-Conference and All-American player, significant awards. Simpson carved out a stellar career with the Buffalo Bills in the NFL, Yary was the first draft pick 12 months later for the ad became a star with the Minnesota Vikings. Rossovich was, like Young, drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles, and went on to become a Hollywood stuntman after the NFL – he had roomed with Tom Selleck, while at USC. Young and Rossovich roomed together while at the Eagles. Young rembers his time at USC, rubbing shoulders with billionaires, and going to parties and going into the den and seeing Oscars there. Some of the college students came from the Hollywood Elite.

He recalled that he had been fortunate enough to stay injury free while at college, but in the tougher world of the NFL he was getting beat up more. He had been quick on his feet, but tore his ligament off his right knee. He was able to play again, and was starting linebacker for the Philadelphia Eagles for five and a half years, and then played half a year for the Detroit Lions, and then one for the Chicago Bears, and two for the Hawaiians in the World Football League, a Major League rival to the NFL. He felt his time at Philadelphia wasn’t as successful as his time inn College, the Eagles were going through a transition phase, and had numerous coach changes, but he said he got to play 6 years in the National Football League and nothing could take away from that.

He returned to Dublin recently, and said that it had changed a lot – his old neighbourhood was now an upscale development – but said that his Irish background remained something deeply respected, despite all the fame and glamour he was exposed to in the NFL and USC.

About the National Gridiron League

The National Gridiron League is an American Arena Football League scheduled to begin play in May 2020. It has 12 teams situated in the South and Midwest.

About Arena / Indoor Football

Indoor Football, also known as Arena Football was developed in 1986 as an 8v8 form of Indoor American Football. After an initial few seasons where the game was developed with a 4 team league, a full seasons League with eventually over a dozen teams was developed in the 1990 which was considered by the Wall Street Journal to be a fifth major.

The Arena Football League over-expanded in the 2000s with a Minor League, and its importance (and number of teams) waned since it first experienced financial diffulties  in 2009, and it ceased operations after the 2019 season due to the legacy debt incurred.

There is now, however, Indoor Football Leagues all over America, all of which would now be considered Minor League or Semi-Pro (AAA, AA, or even A)

Indoor Football is played on a 50-yard field with two 8-yard endzones, and teams have 5 downs (attempts) to reach the endzone or the ball is turned over. 3 of those downs must be passing plays, making Indoor Football highly explosive and high scoring.

The main difference between Arena Football & Indoor Football is the rebound nets either side of the goalposts in Arena Football, which is the only part of the original patent given to the Arena Football League in 1989, that a subsequent ruling in 1998 ruled was copyright, the rest being Football already in other leagues.

Shamrock Bowl All-Star Game

Saturday, December 17, 1949, Rice Stadium, Houston, Texas, Att: 12,000

AAFC All-Stars 12 Cleveland Browns 7 – The Shamrock Bowl All-Star Game was the last ever game played by the All-America Football Conference, as the league merged with the National Football League after the season. It was organised as a Charity Event by Glenn McCarthy, who had tried to purchase a franchise in the league after the season, and before it merged with the NFL. It was the only All-Star Game played by the AAFC, and was a Charity Event in aid of the Hally Hall Home for the Aged, the Damon Runyon Cancer Fund, and the National Kids Day Foundation, and is also notable for being one of the first racially-integrated sports events in Houston. The AAFC All-Stars won the game 12-7 with two touchdowns either side of a Cleveland Browns one. Mutryn ran in the first, and Dub Jones replied for Cleveland with a pass from Graham. Baldwin won the game for the All-Stars with a 23 yard reception from Albert.

Shamrock-Bowl-AAFC-1949-poster

The All-American football Conference of 1946-1949 was a successful rival to the NFL, so much so, that the two leagues agreed to merge in 1950, although in essence it was a takeover of the three most successful AAFC clubs by the NFL – San Francisco 49ers, Cleveland Browns & Baltimore Colts.

The League was won by the Cleveland Browns all four seasons – in 1946 they defeated New York Yankees 14-9, and in 1948 defeated the Buffalo Bills in the Championship game 49-7 before beating the San Francisco 49ers in the 1949 Championship Game 21-7

Of particular note for Irish American Football fans, is the last ever game, the Shamrock Bowl Charity All-Star Game, the only one played by the AAFC. It was organised by Glenn McCarthy, who had tried to purchase the Cleveland Browns and move them to Houston after the 1949 season, and before it merger with the NFL in 1950. It was played in aid of three charities, and was also notable for the fact it was one of the first ever racially integrated sports events ever played in Houston.

Glenn McCarthy was a Houston Oil millionaire who opened the Shamrock Hotel in Houston on St. Patrick’s Day 1949. He was several generations removed from his Irish ancestors from Co. Cork, and was one of the richest men in America, and probably the richest in Texas. He was known as  “King of the wildcatters”, a term applied to the early Irish in the oil fields of Pennsylvania, in reference to people who find oil in places not proven to have oil [Ref: 2]

About the CIF

The Champions Indoor Football is a AA (Third Level) American Football League based primarily in the Texas and Prairie States of the Mid-West. It is one of 4 AA Indoor Football Leagues in the USA, the others in the Eastern Seaboard( American Arena League), West (American West Football Conference) and Southwest & Mexico (Super 8 Football League)

About Arena / Indoor Football

Indoor (also known as Arena) Football plays an 8 v 8 version of American Football on a converted Ice Hockey Rink 50-yards long with 2 10 -yard endzones. Teams have 5 downs (attempts) to score or the ball is turned over – 3 of which must be passing plays. It is therefore a higher scoring game than standard 11 v 11 American Football. The main difference between Arena Football and Indoor Football is that there is no rebound net either side of the goalposts in Indoor Football. Arena Football rules allow the ball stay in play when it comas back off the rebound nets.
