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.
