There are many players who leave their mark on CIBBL. Whether through brute force, athleticism or the incredible ability to survive injuries that most would be forced into early retirement or an early grave. This time we're looking at someone who has done all of the above for one of the long term mainstays of the league. Even if the commentators curse has struck and I'm stuck here, teary eyed rewriting this article.

The Norscan Curse made their debut back in the first year of CIBBL, and their first game was against the now defunct Tor Anroc Anglers, it was an unflattering performance for the team losing 1-0 but one player left his mark. Team captain and number one the vampire lord S. Sang who managed to hit the elven lineman Linfarnir and take him out of the game. Not a sensational debut but it began his rise in the game.





This was the pattern for the next couple of games as the vampire added some casualties to his list over the next two games. Three games, three casualties. Carrying the team during its earliest struggles. A couple more casualties and some working on his footwork, Sang managed to add a new string to his bow, dodging free to score his first CIBBL touchdown against another defunct team Forsaken of the Pantheon




Sang progressed nicely, racking up casualties and touchdowns before a renewal of the rivalry with the Black Flags, the flags may have won the game 1-0 but the vampire officially named as a star now, shocked everyone by completing his first pass, a lateral to long time partner in crime, the dearly departed (again) L.A. Blond. It wasn't big, or clever but it was one of only two completions, both to the same receiver. We can only assume after her death he didn't feel comfortable passing to any other player.




Sangs best performance came alongside the final curtain of the Granite division in Autumn of Year 6. Their opponents that day, the Karak Azog Outlaws would win the title that day by winning 3-2 but all of the talk following the game was about Sang who managed to take down the big troll Ripper and chainsaw Gosh Onehanded before scoring two touchdowns in what was almost a miraculous fightback.





Of course, you wouldn't be a top CIBBL player without an injury, two, or six and Sang is no exception. Despite the struggling team he's been fortunate to avoid them for the most part. The most notable of which is a broken neck caused during the first meeting between the Curse and regional rivals the Oceanborn Sea Eagles. A panicked reaction from the elven thrower that saw Sang unable to shrug off the blow. His other notable injury coming in a game against the now defunt Bloodforce, a smashed knee he hasn't let hold him back.





Sang finally reached the apex of the game, officially being declared a legend this past spring, where he took on the Dreki and killing one of the many journeymen to pass through their doors. It may not have done much about the scoreline, but it ensured his place in blood bowl history.
