Although he claims to be 10 years old today, as his official biographer I know this to not be the whole truth. The truth is much more obscure.
While researching for the upcoming book 'Cyrus-Havoc: Blood Bowl is my Life' (available direct from the author price 10 gold crowns) I discovered as a player, he was it the squad for the first Albion v Bretonnia international match played by an All Albion select v the Norman Knights. Now the astute amongst you will realise that means he must be over 1000 years old!
Cyrus admits to being one of the oldest living Blood Bowl coaches but he strenuously denies being Undead. He claims his coaching career started as a junior assistant to Alf Ramsey & claims some of the credit for Albion’s 4-2 Victory over the Empire in the final of the 66 World Cup. (He was the chap seen whispering in the ear of the Kislev linesman at the time of the disputed touchdown)
It is known that Cyrus was born in Essetesford in the County of Kent which is on the eastern edge of the Andredswald Forest and is part of the Kingdom of Wessex the premier Kingdom of Albion.
When asked he says he was born in 55, so we just have to discover in which century.
Cyrus has been known by many names, indeed you may say they are legion, here are just a few: Cyrus the Great, Cyrus the Younger, Cyrus Godwinson, Filthy Lucker, Oi-You, & Nuffle's Favourite.
He would like to mention some of his back-room staff without whom he would find himself playing 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Firstly Penny Spendalot half-time tea maker, kit cleaner oh & wife.
Secondly Dice Crusher Smith his Luck Coach, and finally a shadowy character known only as the 'Doctor' who is not a medical man & turns up at irregular intervals to whisk Cyrus off on what he calls 'Holidays'.
Finally I would just like to remind you to buy the book & as an extra bonus I will include a copy of 'Luck Rules' a pamphlet by Cyrus-Havoc first published in 2012.
Thanks for reading! Here's to the next 10 years.
