{{Infobox NFL Europe/WLAF team \| team_name = Hamburg Sea Devils \| wb1 = [[World Bowl XV]] (2007) }} The '''Hamburg Sea Devils''' were an [[American football]] team that played in [[NFL Europe\|NFL Europa]] from 2005 to 2007. They played their home games at [[Hamburg]]'s [[Volksparkstadion]] (also home to the German football team [[Hamburger SV]]). They played their first game on 2 April 2005 losing 24–23 to the [[Cologne Centurions]] (who were the newest NFL Europe franchise before the Sea Devils). The Sea Devils' first win came in Week 3 of the 2005 season, with a 31–24 home victory over the then-struggling [[Rhein Fire]].▼ ▲The '''Hamburg Sea Devils''' were an [[American football]] team that played in [[NFL Europe\|NFL Europa]] from 2005 to 2007. They played their home games at [[Hamburg]]'s [[Volksparkstadion]] (also home to the German football team [[Hamburger SV]]). They played their first game on 2 April 2005 losing 24–23 to the [[Cologne Centurions]] (who were the newest NFL Europe franchise before the Sea Devils). The Sea Devils' first win came in Week 3 of the 2005 season, with a 31–24 home victory over the then-struggling [[Rhein Fire]]. Their first head coach was [[Jack Bicknell]], previously head coach of the defunct [[Barcelona Dragons]] and [[Scottish Claymores]]. The Sea Devils had directly replaced the Claymores after the 2004 season. On 1 April 2006, the Sea Devils recorded their first tie in franchise history. At home, they scored 17 points in the second quarter, against the [[Berlin Thunder]]. They had blown their 17-point lead before regulation ended. When no one scored in overtime, the game ended in a draw. This was only the second tie in the NFL Europa history. The previous tie came in the 1992 season between the [[Rhein Fire]] and the [[London Monarchs]]. The final score for that game was also 17–17. On 29 March 2007, Bicknell resigned, citing health issues as the reason. He was replaced by [[offensive coordinator]] [[Vince Martino]]. On 23 June 2007, the Sea Devils won their first [[World Bowl]] championship with a 37–28 victory over the defending champion [[Frankfurt Galaxy]]. It was also their last, as [[NFL Europe\|NFL Europa]] disbanded almost immediately following the game. As a result, the Sea Devils are the last team to win a WLAF/NFL Europe/NFL Europa game ever. The Sea Devils were brought to American media attention again on 14 July 2007, when 2006 team member [[Mike Jemison]] was arrested in Pennsylvania for robbery. Previously, [[Thomas Herrion]], an offensive tackle allocated to the team by the [[San Francisco 49ers]], died after a preseason game against the Denver Broncos in August 2005. Current [[Tampa Bay Buccaneers]] cornerback [[Brent Grimes]] also played for the Sea Devils. Coach and former cornerback [[Nate Jacks]] from Atlanta, Georgia also played for the Sea Devils. ==Season-by-season== ! 1 ! .517 ! ! 1 ! 0 ! 1.000 ! \|} {{Commons cat\|Hamburg Sea Devils}} {{Hamburg Sea Devils}} {{NFLE}} [[Category:NFL Europe (WLAF) teams]] [[Category:Defunct American football teams in Germany]]
