In 2005 the Amsterdam Admirals had won their first and only World Bowl but in 2006 they lost the final against the Frankfurt Galaxy after a very fine season with many great players on the team, such as Atari Bigby, Skyler Fulton and Gibran Hamden, who all had liked to work with head coach Bart Andrus.
Here's a look back at World Bowl 2006 with many photos and the story.
