William Perry was one of several high-profile players to feature with his adventure in NFL Europe

As part of the build-up to the new NFL season, Sky Sports have zigzagged across the US to put together a host of new and exclusive programming - including the story of NFL Europe and Jay Ajayi's Super Bowl Season.

While the action on the field is always high profile, the NFL has a habit of throwing up a host of storylines over a season, career and more and in 2018/19, Sky Sports will take you behind the scenes like never before.

Neil Reynolds and the Sky Sports team have crossed the pond to bring to life a couple of stories that will hit home to a UK audience.

Both shows will be screened in the build-up to our Week One coverage and will also be available On Demand - alongside the whole catalogue of America's Game and A Football Life.

Rather than the Raiders, Seahawks and Jaguars it was London Monarchs, Rhein Fire, Amsterdam Admirals and Scottish Claymores that fans had to watch.

As it turned out, NFL Europe was home to some future Hall of Famers and huge names in every sense of the word, including the legendary William Perry aka 'The Fridge.'

Tom Coughlin, Kurt Warner, Brian Baldinger, Doug Marrone and Andrew Luck are among the names you can hear from. We sat down with those involved to get the full story on how things got off the ground, what match days were like and the impact it had on the game.
