The team bounced around between various stadia in Bergen and Essex counties between 1977 and 1984, always under the direction of Ed O’Reilly. The Rams rarely lost during the 1980’s and spent much of their final campaign in 1984 atop the Minor Professional Football Association’s national rankings of semi-pro clubs.
