I can recommend Centry Singhtoth from my first norse team the Crystal Palace. His 10 year contract has recently ended and we won't be planning to renew.

Thanks, pubstar. You picked the one I hoped you would: Ragnar the Dour IV.

...stuff...

I'm sure you can find many retired norsemen in the Charioteers' obituary, that is probably longer than LOTR tho...

Neat concept! Feel free to use any of Monk's Mead Makers. Players of potential interest:

Surly was one of the starting 11, and one of the meanest bastards on the team. He played in 12 of the team's 22 games before a -AV forced him into retirement, but he still holds the team record for most fouls thrown with 10 (more than every other player to throw a foul in the team's (admittedly brief) history combined.)

Genessee Brewing was another lineman on the original roster who was ultimately forced into retirement after taking both -ST and -AG injuries. He was the team kicker in his day, and a cautious player who always seemed to be in the right place doing just enough to save the day, even if other players got the glory of TDs and CAS.

Blue Moon Ale is the poster child for a Norse lineman forced from the roster with his best games ahead of him. He joined the team as a journeyman after scoring a critical TD without the benefit of a reroll, then went on to post the only INT in team history. He rolled +MA on his first level and seemed destined for great things, but an -AV concussion cut him down in his prime.

You can also see 2 zerkers and an Ulfwerner in there, all of whom failed to do much more than collect a paycheck before getting injured. If I ever get the cash, though, Captain Morgan's -AV will probably force me to replace him. He leads the team in CAS, SPP, and Blocks by a fair margin; hopefully he lives long enough to join your team!

Thanks so much for your submissions, everybody! I honestly wasn't sure if people would think this was cool or not, so I'm glad to get some positive notes.


The idea's pretty cool and it's always nice to find an old player kept alive by another coach. I'll try to follow the team, thanks for picking Colocadito for the starting rooster!

Awesome!

He is severely out of practice and in need of intense rehabilitation, but Harald Son of Harald formerly of the Wonga Wonga Whalekillers would be happy to try out for your team.

Ivar the Boneless and Cunning Linusson of the Sven Frenzyssco 69ers have also been showing interest.

Brilliant idea for a team!

I've got 3 linemen, a runner, and an ulf you can have Smile

Thanks again for the great response. I'll be sure to make as many hires as possible, but remember that after I hit 16 players, I can only get more if somebody dies. I'll use everybody's players when I'm able, so stay tuned!

First match, 'friendly' warm-up before the league starts: https://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=match&id=3634238

Colocadito and Egil Egilharson have both died, their second chance at Blood Bowl glory squashed into the pitch during a game that didn't even count.

I should point out that Egil Egilharson's 'career' was extra sad - zero blocks, fouls, spp's, or distinguishing acts of any kind. A true failure!

Well, at least you crippled the other team - making it easier when you face them in the season! Very Happy
