History
The Liberators were founded in 1945, 6 years after the initial creation of the league. In their first few years, they built up a reputation as a pretty good team, and in the early '60s, they got a few solid draft picks, including Penetraman Billy Jekzxson and Wide Out Kate Stevenson, and free agent pickups, and during the '60s, they were one of the best teams in the league. They managed to win the EFC Title 4 times in a row, from 1960-1963, but in those years were beaten by The Liberation City Cyclones and The Rodriguezville Ravagers. Finally, in 1967 they managed to win the Champions Cup for the first time, and again 2 years later, in 1969.
In the '70s, the Liberators were still a good team. However, weakened by the loss of their star players from the previous decade, they were not as good as the previous decade. In the 1980's, however, the team was back to their '60s level, with a new cast of star players and head coach Davie Murphy. In 1988, they won the EFC Title, however lost to The Port Landavisislanders Preachers in the Champions Cup. In 1989, though they were not to be denied, and took home their 3rd Champions Cup.
The 1990's were by far the worst decade for the Liberators. They did not win a single Title in the 10 years, due to a lack of superstars, and the loss of their best head coach ever, Murphy, in 1996 led them to 2 losing seasons, and only 1 Tournament appearance in those years. However, at the turn of the century in 2003, they got in The Tournament again. In 2006, they even got to the EFC Title game, though they did not win it. In 2013, the Liberators made a huge pickup of free agent Wide Out Logan Streddis, and today they are still one of the best teams in the EFC, a contender every year.
