        It
        all began innocently enough back in the fall of 1997. Ed Kirwan was 
       browsing on the VfL web site and signed the Guest Book. A couple 
       weeks later Ed received an email from Bodo Nies looking for a Claudia 
       Reyna T-shirt exclusive in the US. Ed found the shirt and exchanged 
       it with Bodo for a VfL Wolfsburg T-shirt. Contact continued and the 
       friendship grew over the next couple of years. Branching off of the 
       North Jersey Brigade of Sam's Army, the US Nation Team supporters 
       group in which Ed belonged, Bodo and Ed had an idea. In April of 
       1999, Ed visited Germany and traveled to Wolfsburg. The North Jersey 
       Brigade - VfL Supporters USA was born. Co-founded by Ed Kirwan (USA) 
       and Bodo Nies (Germany), it made its debut on April 10, 1999 as VfL 
       Wolfsburg defeated Kaiserlautern 2-1 at VfL Stadion in Wolfsburg.
