The league's inaugural season consisted of just four teams, but it has since grown to become one of the largest Australian rules football leagues in Europe.
The Manchester AFL Football League has produced a number of talented players who have gone on to play at the highest level in Australia. One of the most notable players to come out of the league is Nathan Vardy, who played for the Collingwood Magpies in the Australian Football League (AFL).
