Mike bought tudor when they thought efl was dead he then found guys who were the players commucated with them then begin to organize conventions that has lasted over 15 years!! Many of the guys who are friends are friends from Mikes conventions.Though many my not like him or agree with him he truly is an EFL legend.He has tried to improve the bases and paint jobs and add many new products to this hobby again He should get an award from us!! Next is Dirk Thomas Dirk was the first nationally know painter who set the bar for paint jobs his work was like decals before we were even using them.He went to every EFl event their was!! He loved the hobby and the guys who played.Mark and Bill klingbiel these guys were the first to introduce to Read Zone a newsletter about EFL coaches and technics.Mark and Bill were the first superbowl winners and ran the table for a few years.They brought new numbers, figures and bases to the hobby!!Innovators!!!The next award goes to no other than the genuis Reg Rutledge known for his truely wonderful stadiums!!!Reg has been an true ambasador for this hobby always the hype man his figures, games style love of the game is second to none!!One of the first known tournaments the first coaches training camp 1996 three time Dallas Forth worth miniature football league champion has played in eight different tournaments nationally truely a legend.Roddy Garcia one of the first known huge efl collectors Roddy has one of the biggest EFL tudor old school collections known had one of the newsletters that were out at the time, was writing the first book on EFL.

Default No Genius or Legend Here!

James,

I appreciate the sentiments and I am humbled by your thoughts but I am definitely no legend nor genius. I am just a guy that enjoys the game and like to share that passion with others.

Terms like that can be flattering but embarrassing too because you're just doing what you do to have a good time. So thanks but I would definitely not want to be put on such a high plain.

Reg

4. Smitty
5. Sean Carter
6. Keith Chalmers
7. Norbert Revels

Default Great list don't forget....

Everyone has their favorites and coaches who have contributed to this hobby. I agree with everyone's post, however one of the coaches at the top of my list was not mentioned...George Diamond.

George has been one of the greatest innovators in this hobby. From his speed diamonds (which have won every MFCA fastest man competitions to date-I believe) to his Mag 7 figures and awesome accesories...he should be mentioned among the greatest contributors to this hobby...

Just my two cents
