George Weah, Liberia's most famous footballer and former president, scored 24 goals in 23 games during a spell at I.E. in the 1986–87 season.

Though it is true that most of the original members of the team were Americo-Liberians or Congos by virtue of their easy access to formal education at that time, there were also students who were from the Kru, Bassa and Grebo ethnic backgrounds.

Frank George, Aaron Grimes, and Argwu, the goalie, were Bassas, while Hugh Collins was Grebo, thus giving the team an academic and broad ethnic base support from the onset.

The following month, June 1943, IE made its debut in football competitions after some weeks of hard practice.

Between 1946 and 1949 IE sustained a severe blow when seven or eight of its members left about the same time for further studies in the United States and other foreign parts.

However, they were replaced subsequently by some promising young players from the junior team, West End Eleven.

In April 2019 they were relegated to the Liberian Third Division after failing to pay a fine for not honoring a league match.
