The most important thing is the spirit of the Galaxy.
Played for the Galaxy in 2007
What do you think about your time in Frankfurt?
My time in Frankfurt was one of the best times of my life. The competition on the field along with the amazing fans and their passion for the Galaxy was unlike anything I had experienced elsewhere. Even compared with college or the NFL, the feeling of family and community surrounding the Galaxy between players, coaches, staff and fans was something very special! Beyond that, Frankfurt was a wonderful city to experience – great landmarks, food, and people…The 1884 Ruder Club’s “Schnitzel Special” will never be forgotten!
How do you rate the strength of the former NFLE?
NFLE had very talented players – both those from the US and those from the EU. I enjoyed competing against my fellow NFLE athletes and stay in touch with many of them to this day.
What do you think of the Fanbase of the Galaxy?
As mentioned previously, the Frankfurt fans are on a totally different level – their passion and dedication is unparalleled. They possess a wonderful family/community dynamic which goes a long way towards the support of a sports team. Contrast with the fans of the other teams I’ve played for, only the Galaxy fans are those I stay in touch with and consider my friends!
Will you attending a NFL Game 2017 in Frankfurt?
I would love to attend a game in Frankfurt! While the spirit of NFLE isn’t quite the same in the NFL, the opportunity to experience football and time with the Galaxy fans would be awesome.

What do you think about your time in Frankfurt?
It was one of the best times in my life. I had a awesome time playing in NFLE. The city and the country welcomed us in with open arms and made us feel like family. If I had a chance to go back over there and play, I would jump on it in a heartbeat.
How do you rate the strength of the former NFLE?
The talent level in NFLE was really good the season i was over there. Over half of our team got contracts into training camps back in the NFL and most of them made rosters and practice squads continuing there football dreams.
What do you think of the Fanbase of the Galaxy?
The fan base over there was the best. Frankfurt had some of the best fans in NFLE. They never treated us wrong and supported us through good and bad all the way to the world bowl.
Will you attending a NFL Game 2017 in Frankfurt?
I’m not really sure. I don’t know my schedule during that time. But if I’m available I definitely try and attend.

IHR SEID EINFACH NUR DER HAMMER
Bei der Galaxy getanzt von 1999 bis 2005
Wie hast du deine Zeit in Frankfurt empfunden?
Die Zeit bei der Galaxy bleibt mir als unbeschreibliche Zeit in Erinnerung, mit den verschiedensten Erlebnissen und Eindrücken die mein späteres Leben geprägt haben. Ich durfte Länder wie den Kosovo bereisen, wo sonst Niemand hinkam, habe beeindruckende Berühmtheiten und Personen der Öffentlichkeit kennen gelernt. Ich bin damals als unerfahrenes kleines Gör bei der Galaxy eingestiegen, die nach einem Hobby gesucht hat... und habe den Verein als glücklich verheiratete Mutter mit einer glanzvollen Tanzkarriere in der Tasche wieder verlassen. Mit der Galaxy habe ich das Tanzen lieben gelernt, so sehr, dass ich sogar meine eigene Cheer / Hiphop Gruppe gegründet habe. Die Zeit mit diesem Verein bleibt für immer in meinem Herzen.
Wie schätzt du die Stärke der damaligen NFLE ein?
Na super, sonst hätte ich sie ja nicht angefeuert... Spaß bei Seite, ich sah unsere Mannschaft als sehr starkes und organisiertes Team an.
Was hältst du von der Fanbase der Galaxy?
Wir hatten eine tolle Fanbase, ohne diese wäre Galaxy erst gar nicht so bekannt geworden.
Bist du für ein NFL Spiel 2017 in Frankfurt?
Unbedingt!
