Leicester Panthers

The Leicester Panthers were a British American Football team, formed in 1984 and disbanded in 1996. In the time they played, they recorded only one losing season, and won the league final in 1996, the year they dissolved the team.

A number of original players from the Leicester Panthers, including rugby star Martin Johnson, who had played for the team in the early 1990s, reformed to play a charity match against the Loughborough Aces for the Matt Hampson Trust; the Panthers won 20-3.
