Well folks, for anyone with eyes that see and ears that hear, and even for those less fortunate, we are about to present the least surprising award in Red Rose Gaming Bloodbowl history. That is the trophy for the Most Touchdowns scored by an individual player. And with in a break with the usual drawn out, tedious preamble we offer you a 'This is your Life' style montage of this season's winner - George of Rolands Runners...
...der...der...der...derrrrrrrr...George, the thirteen hundred and thirteenth child of Rod and Jayne Rat, was not born into greatness...as a lesser child of a lesser clan in The Hell Pit he was destined for the experiments of Clan Moulder. It was Throt himself who was to perform the surgery when, in a bizarre twist of fate, he spotted George easily outrunning he fellow rats when the breakfast slop was delivered that morning. Not one to waste talent, Throt sent George to the Bloodbowl packmaster and he took his first scurrying steps on the path to stardom.
His progress through the under leagues of Hell Pit was meteoric and he soon achieved his dream status - 'Gutter Runner'. It was then that he came to the attention of coach Andy, the newly appointed coach of Rolands Runners. His first season was good if not great - he honed his speed but still found himself second fiddle to blabber mouth rat princling Zippy...if only there was a way to shut him up for good!
Clearly not content, this ambitious young rat spent his last warpstone chunks engaging the services of legendary Bloodbowl coach and 'specialist' doctor Herr Vontrickpony of the Border Princes. Throughout the next season the good doctor force fed George on a diet of Strength Pudding and Agility Pie whilst making him run sprint drill after sprint drill. The results were out of this world...not only did he outstrip his team rival, he outstripped everyone in the league, sometimes scoring before the echoes of the whistle for kick off had died away. Even notoriously sniffy Bretonnian sports paper 'Le Clip' declared his talents to be 'On The Moon'.
This of course has led to rival teams targeting him and even his own team mates grumbling about him grabbing all the limelight. The tarnish of his relationship with Herr Vontrickpony also started to take it's toll as rumours of his training methods started to circulate. How long until his star burns out nobody knows and the fans certainly don't care. Whatever happens next he'll always have his place in the Bloodbowl pantheon.
So raise your tentacles and tip you helmets as we ask George, the fastest rat on the Astrogranite, to take an auspicious thirteen steps forward to come and collect the newly renamed 'Greedy George Award' for Most Touchdowns!
'What do we want? Touchdowns! When do we want them? Now! How do we want them? In one turn!'
