REMEMBERING…

LICKFESTER Midden broke into the Underworld Creepers during


the 2484 season, and when we say ‘broke in’ we
MIDDEN mean it, because he first entered the team HQ as a
burglar, intent on helping himself to the team’s
UNDERWORLD CREEPERS treasury. However, his clumsy attempts at safe
cracking caught the attention of the Creepers’ Rat
Ogre security guard, whereby, fearing for his life, he
leapt out of the nearest window and found himself
slap bang in the middle of a team training session.
He was quickly discovered, but Head Coach Lance
Fleshbarb surprisingly picked him to play in their
next game; it should be noted that this was actually
a punishment, due to the painfully short life
expectancy of the Creepers’ Goblin players!

S adly, Midden’s Luck ran out this season, against


the Naggaroth Nightwings. In retrospect, it probably
wasn’t the wisest of idea to stamp on the foot of a
player called Exon ‘The Executioner’ Gallowspite,
but then, Goblins aren’t renowned for their wisdom.
L ickfester Midden, you weren’t a star, you never
broke any records (in fact you managed to kill more
teammates than opponents), you didn’t even get in
the starting XI much, but you were, without a doubt,
truly mediocre, and for a Goblin that’s high praise
indeed.
