Dear friends and devoted fans of the indomitable CTGFM,

this month marks a poignant moment in our hearts and the annals of Blood Bowl history. Eight years have swiftly passed since the gridiron lost one of its most dazzling stars. On this day, we gather not just to remember, but to celebrate the life and legacy of the legendary Stick Steve, whose exploits on the field have become the stuff of legend.

As the dawn breaks on this solemn anniversary, we invite you to join us in a tribute to the memory of a player whose tenacity and spirit transcended the brutal confines of the pitch. Stick Steve was not merely a player; he was an inspiration, a beacon of hope for the underdog, and a living testament to the creed that even the smallest among us can achieve greatness.

The echoes of his exploits still resonate through the stadium of CTGFM, a hallowed ground where Stick Steve turned dreams into reality. His unparalleled agility, his unyielding courage, and his infamous broomstick left both fans and foes in awe. From his humble beginnings as the overlooked seventh child of a low-level accountant and a stay-at-home dad, Stick Steve rose through the ranks, not just in stature but in the hearts of all who witnessed his sheer determination and grit.

Who can forget the legendary matches that cemented his status as an icon of the Blood Bowl? The Gobbocanazo, where he single-handedly shattered records and the spirits of a helpless Orc team. The heart-wrenching loss of his comrade and protector, Groucho, a moment that tested his resolve yet showcased the depth of his character. And, of course, the fateful match that saw him ascend to the pantheon of Blood Bowl legends, proving that with luck, a trustworthy broomstick, and an indomitable spirit, even the impossible becomes possible.

As we commemorate Stick Steve, let us also shine a light on the legacy he left behind—a legacy that continues to inspire and shape the future of Blood Bowl. The establishment of the Pan-Amorican Goblin Pension Fund, a cause close to Steve's heart, stands as a testament to his enduring impact. It's a beacon of hope for every aspiring goblin player, ensuring that the path Steve paved with his resilience and passion continues to guide and support the future stars of this beloved game.

In honor of Stick Steve's memory, we invite you to revisit the legendary tales of his career, to share your own stories and tributes, and to keep the spirit of this unparalleled goblin alive in our hearts. As we reflect on his journey, let us also look forward with the same unwavering hope and determination that Stick Steve embodied on and off the field.

Today, the #4 jersey remains untouched, a solemn tribute to a player whose legacy is etched not just in the records of CTGFM, but in the very soul of Blood Bowl. Stick Steve, your memory continues to inspire, your legend never fades, and your spirit forever soars high above the pitch, guiding us all.

In memory of the greatest Goblin team player of all times.
