The finding of this particular Mummy was a curious one for coach Clownfoot. Searching the desert plains for long past, half buried kingdoms of once powerful elder kings, he located a singular tomb devoid of all the normal luxuries one would find in such a location. The room was quite bare, apart from a couple of still unknown and curious artifacts - something that can only be described as a boom stick and a mechanical, revolving sword. Luckily, the corpse of this aged warrior was still intact and a quick summoning spell later he was back on his feet in the land of the living. Known as Sir Bruce of Campbell, for that was written on his tomb, he may not be the smartest of Blood Bowl players (he once read the words of the Necronomican wrong and turned himself into a newt) but he has a stubborn toughness that sees him just keep on getting back up from whatever the opposition throw at him. A lumbering hulk, he is likely to be around on the Deadites line of scrummage for some time yet...

14 games in and Bruce finally has a kill to his name. The unfortunate victim that lost his head? A Dwarf named <b>Mönchengladbach</b>, the first death within the ranks of <b>Bundesliga 08</b>.

Bubba Ho-Tep didn't have a great life. Sure he may have been King of an old desert kingdom that is no more, surrounded by beautiful women everyday and blessed with, uhm, "girth", but he was also constantly undermined by those minions who should have made sure that his crown was successfully safeguarded. Unfortunately, he was stabbed in the back at a council meeting by greedy traitorous fiends that called themselves friends. He may have survived the first 50 or so knife wounds, showing his immense toughness, but he was undone by the 51st and passed over to the netherworld, a state of limbo as his restless soul waited, dormant to live again. Luckily the body was interned in a rock cavern tomb that coach Clownfoot stumbled across whilst journeying through the old desert kingdom's, now merely ruins, and immediately recognised the value that a Mummy with a chip on its shoulder could do on the Blood Bowl pitch. Bubba was added to the starting roster of the Deadites and has since begun tearing some new ones to make up for his otherwise shortened life-span. Be warned when coming face to face with this fearsome brute...

Bubba's first kill came against a Khemri team monikered <b>Revenge of the Mummies</b>. The victim was a poor Skeleton by the name of <b>Ribs</b> who sadly lost his from the thunderous blow delivered to the sternum by a ferocious Bubba.

This was followed, rather impressively, by Bubba ripping out the jaw of <b>Subatai</b>, an Ogre who was plying his trade for the <b>Burumbaters</b> at the time, killing him outright. Even Big Guys should worry when Bubba stalks the pitch!

Another mighty Blow and another Skeleten fails to regenerate after being obliterated into dust. This time the unfortunate bag of bones was
<b>Gretl Eater of Groins</b> playing for the Khemri side <b>Terrortubies</b>...

Bubba is currently the Deadites leading killer!

Kiliarien was previously a brave, yet foolhardy ranger who finally met his end on a Dark Elf death mat after singing a little too loudly that Lothi should put the kettle on... right in front of a Matron Mother! The woodland's loss was eventually the Undead's gain as the fortitude Kili showed in life sprung eternal in undeath. His speed of thought and strength of mind already has him ear-marked as a potential candidate for the Deadites star player, but only if he can resist going up to a Treeman and asking if he's bark is worse than his bite...

After 10 games and only one paltry touchdown to his name, the fans were wondering when Kili was going to start playing to his supposed potential. Game 11 delivered though, as he near enough snapped the head off <b>Whispering Pine's (Ski Sundae's)</b> shoulders, killing the player outright and allowing his coach to raise the player into the zombie ranks of the Deadites. Here's hoping he'll be feeding more corpses to the roster in forthcoming matches!

An able Ghoul, despite suffering from the likes of VD, gangarine, syphilis and a variety of other inflictions you don't really want to hear about! Mostly fills the role of substitute to Carmanethon and Rats Stinky, and hasn't really been given the opportunity to perform by the coach as yet. Maybe if he has a wash to cleanse himself of such vile rot, then he'll one day get the opportunity. Until that day, just don't stand downwind of the mighty G!

Carmanethon was picked up by coach Clownfoot after observing his fleet of foot in the swamps surrounding his lands of undeath. Prying on the sheep of farm hands on the border of the land of the living, he would grab his quarry and sprint through the deep murky swamp as if running on water. Impressed, he was immediately signed and has had a decent impact in the early days of the Deadites, proving to be a match winner on more than one occasion. Coach Clownfoot hopes he can keep up this early success...

Carmanethon stole the show against <b>Toxic Protrusions II</b>, not only by scoring two touchdowns but also surprising himself by impaling his fist through the head of the young Beastman <b>Pestigore</b>. A classy game, from a potentially classy player!

<u>Legendary Plays</u>

Carmanethon's sixth touchdown was one to savour. A unique one turn touchdown thanks to the assist of a very handy blitz!

BoneMarrow is your typical brainless zombie, but one with a unique obsessive compulsive disorder. He likes to stamp on things! Be it an ant crawling on the floor, to a human players skull lying prone on the Blood Bowl pitch, if its on the ground BoneMarrow is liable to squish it to a pulp. Perhaps it's because of this disorder that the refs feel sorry for the maligned rotting corpse - he hasn't actually been sent off in any Deadite match thus far! However, this has led to other teams taking matters into their own hands. Annoyed at BoneMarrow's persistence in stamping on teammates, the Orcs of the <b>Sono Orcazzi Vostri</b> ruffed him up so much that he has been blighted with injury ever since!

Stay Put was risen from an unmarked grave to serve as a simple lineman in the Deadite squad. Any information about his history in the land of the living is unknown as, like any zombie, his power of recall is marred by his slurring of the word "bra-hns" as he wonders off for a quick snack. Still, he was given his name for the constant hilarity he provides his Deadite team mates where one or more of his apendages tends to fall off in training. Luckily his name has, uhm, remained intact!

Of late, though, Stay Put seems to be doing just that! Ten games gone, and with his lower left leg held to his knee with only some sticky tape and a large plaster following a bruising collision with a human lineman in the <b>World Eaters From Space</b> squad, he's doing his best to simply hold it all together. The affect this injury has on his agility is plainly obvious, but coach clownfoot refuses to give the unkown corpses spirit the freedom it propably deserves. For now, he remains line fodder - the place where any adled zombie is most effective on the field!

This skeleton's name is Kevin. Simple really! Little is known about Kevin - alas this boney being's gravestone had aged somewhat and only his first name was available to retrieve. Yet his corpse was recovered from a decent town graveyard which suggests he was formerly of good breeding. For a skeleton, he is fairly agile. Perhaps in his former life he was a human Blood Bowl player? Who knows. What we do know is that the experiened body of bones may, as unlikely as it seems, have what it takes to become a legendary skeleton...

The acquirement of Gretl is a strange one. Brutalised by <b>Bubba Ho-Tep</b> in the Deadites match against the <b>Terrortubbies</b>, the raged Skeletal corpse failed to regenerate but was immediately risen by coach Clownfoot to serve him as a mindless zombie. Perhaps one of the first cases of a skeleton managing to grow his skin back... its a bizarre Old World we live in!

Scurvy Knave has popped a few knee caps in his time, unfortunately usually his own, due to his brittle boned form not eating enough lemons in his living days. The after effects in his undeath have led the coach to locate new limbs for this effective skeleton, and he is currently a hodge podge of alternative medicine. SK is one of the reasons that make Undead teams, and the Deadites in particular, the definition of the word "cool"!

Rats Stinky previously lived in the sewers of a rather large city where he used to feed on many a rat. Of course, dwelling amongst the filth and excrement of the local population also made him quite stinky. These are habits that he has since maintained in the Deadites locker room - the occasional live rat steak and the ability to go days without showering not seeming to bother his Undead brethren due to their lack of smell. However, it has been noted that once he's on the pitch, many a mortal has simply keeled over from the pungent odour Rats Stinky emanates, which has come in handy in helping him to an impressive Touchdown record that currently rivals his fellow Ghoul Carmanethon.

When Roger was first risen from the dead he kept complaining about a pain in the back of his calfs. The rest of his teammates jokingly stated this was due to the mortis of his rotting, decaying body escaping into the ether. The nickname seems to have stuck - it's one of the few thinks still attached to his otherwise teflon bones! The ball has similar problems as it bounces around his boney clasp.

Whispering Pines is the corpse of a salvaged <b>Norseman</b> who previously played for <b>Ski Sundae</b>. He met his maker, however, following a brutish clothesline by the Deadites wight <b>Kiliarien</b> which near enough severed his head from his shoulders. Sadly for WP, his maker just happened to be coach Clownfoot who reanimated the freshly limp body to continue his Blood Bowl career in virtual undeath. After taunting his former teammates as he shuffled onto the pitch to recommence after a touchdown, he has become as much a trophy to the Deadites head coach as he is certain line fodder to all that attempt to break him again in the future!
