Does anyone know of a good source for World League of American Football All-World teams and yearly award winners (MVP, Coach of the Year, etc.)? I'm incorporating the honors into the yearly league pages on StatsCrew.com. You can see an example from the USFL at https://www.statscrew.com/football/l-USFL/y-1984 (under the team logos).

Hopefully that link will show you a trading card with some of the info you are requesting.

I love alternate league card sets. The day my 1984 USFL set showed up by UPS is one I literally still remember - unfortunately I loved them so much that "Mint" can no longer describe them.

Loved the league, have all the cards, all the games from 1996 to the end of the league and a majority of games from 91-92, '95, know most of the awards (if not all) off the top of my head, plus have media guides and programs, etc.

But if you just want to look it up you can go year by year on this guys' website: http://www.worldleagueofamericanfootball.com/id23.html for some of them. Sure you can e-mail him for the rest or use the wayback machine to look at the old nfleurope website which had the awards listed. The Orlando newspaper was best for coverage in 1991-1992.

I was a fan of the league when all their teams were based in Europe, and I rooted for the nationals everytime to succeed (The Rhein Fire, for example, had 52-year old kicker Manfred Burgsmuller, wgho was a star player for many years in the Bundesliga, the German Soccer League. Other players I liked were Mexican WR Marco Martos, who played for Barcelona and Cologne, and French cornerback Samyr Hamoudi of Barcelona, who was far more better thatn the practice sqaud-type players the NFl sent to Europe every year).
