Wembley in talks with NFL

Wembley Stadium executives are in advanced talks to bring top-class American Football back to London when the ground reopens in 2006,

Paul Tagliabue, commissioner of the National Football League, recently met Wembley Stadium chief executive Michael Cunnah and Football Association chief executive Mark Palios to discuss the possibility of Wembley hosting NFL games.

Eight NFL games were held at the old stadium between 1986 and 1993.

Alistair Kirkwood, of NFL Europe, said: "We believe the time is right to bring NFL football back to Britain."
