What They Say

Paul Tagliabue
Commissioner
National Football League

“It was good to meet you during my recent visit to London. Together we face many challenges in the World League but we also have an opportunity in this 1997 season to make real progress on many fronts. It will, however, take a lot of sustained and focused effort.

I thought the atmosphere at Chelsea for the Monarchs season opener against the Galaxy was terrific and a vast improvement over the past two years. There were many options for the sports fans on Sunday, so the 10,000 plus in attendance represented a real core audience. Now if Lionel and the team can continue their winning ways…

Keep up the good work. Best wishes.”

“Alton Byrd has worked with NFL International in both a full-time position as General Manager of the London/England Monarchs and as a Commercial Director for NFL UK since January 1997. Alton has exhibited a high level of skills at a senior managerial level as well as a successful aptitude for both marketing and relationship management at the highest corporate levels.

Due to the market forces in the UK, we were forced to relocate the London franchise to Berlin. This was not however due to Alton’s mismanagement or to his lack of effort. During his time with NFL International, Alton has proved to be extremely organized, result focused and comfortable in all aspects of both team management and in marketing partnership negotiation. He has managed project activation with enthusiasm and commitment and I have always found him to have the highest integrity.

I have no hesitation in recommending Alton to any company and should you wish further information then do not hesitate to contact me in writing.”
