Said Rugby Player Ian Blakey, of Billingham: "I'm sitting behind some Cowboy fans, and they're conducting classes. You need help with...
...would the bride react when she reached the altar and saw the real thing, in the form of the Chicago Bears and the Dallas Cowboys, waiting for her in Wembley Stadium? Well, the honeymoon may not be over, but when the much ballyhooed American Bowl came to an end last week in London, it was clear that American football has yet to find domestic bliss in Britain.
