Welcome to the Britball Film Archive

With British American Football (affectionatly known as Britball) heading towards its 30th Birthday we noticed more and more sites springing up remembering old teams and the early days of football in the UK.

There are a few resources to capture the history of the sport and these hold newspaper clippings, reports and interviews with the pioneers of our sport.

One thing that we do not seem to have a central store of is video from the early days. Most of this was captured on VHS tapes and with the advance of technology many people no longer have the means to watch old films. This leads to people throwing away the now useless tapes and a part of our football heritage being forever lost.

The purpose of the website and blog is to recover as many of the early game films as possible and make them available to both those who remember the early days and those who come after.

This is as much a mission of love as anything else but hopefully it will provide a welcome addition to the Britball scene.

If you have any film on video cassette going back to the first ten years of British American football please let us know as we may be able to convert it and make it available on-line.

Lastly if you come across a film to which you claim copyright contact us and we will give you credit or remove it at once depending on your wishes. This site is not about stealing other peoples work but sharing our history.
