Shepard of the year 5 years in a row, Sa'd (or "happy" to his friends) believes that football is a lot like sheep farming.. only with less wool and more half time oranges.

Talents: Sheep wrestling, makes Sa'd the ideal blitzer material.

Isma'il is the halfwitted iligitimate son of an Algiers Gigolo. Spurned at birth, and rasied by wild goats, Isma'il has trouble mixing with his fellow team mates, often prefering the company of the teams mascot (Randy the Ram)

Talents: Able to enter a frenzied uncontrollable rage. Often accompanied by manic bleating.

Randy Camel has been known this way as long as anyone can remember. It is doubtful as to whether he himself can even recall his own name. Some believe he earned the name due to his striking resemblance to a male camel in the throws of carnal passion.. however, others have a very different take on the name...

Talents: Randy, as a professional gurner, has mastered the technique of the truly hideous appearance. It is his hope that this will give him the edge in any block by literally "freaking them out" and into submission.

Mad as a bag of rabid dingoes, Ali is often found talking to his toes. Talking with Ali often leaves people disoriented and feeling rather queesy. This is likely due to his constantly gyrating eyes and jarring voice which alternates in volume without warning.
Often likened to a cat trapped in a room on a floor of defibrilators, Ali has true blitzer potential.

Talents: Unpredictability makes Ali one to watch out for on the pitch. Likely to attempt plays that others would balk at.

Dusty Britches Aziz has spent a lifetimein the shadier parts of Algiers peddling and fencing stolen goods. He earnt his nickname due to the speed of his escapes from local law enforcement, literally leaving a cloud of dust in his wake whilst fleeing and "dusting the britches" of those around him.

Talents: Although in appearance, docile and rather sleepy, Aziz is able to put out an almost superhuman spurt of speed, allowing him to "go for it" with alarming success.

Wahid's moustache is known and famed across the width and breadth of North Africa, earning him a minor celebrity status. Often seen hosting television chat shows, Karaeoke contests and the annual "Happy Camel" county fairs, Wahid has become fabulously wealthy. Driving his Robin Reliant with state of the art casette radio and his regular beetamax parties, Wahid has become the inspiration and idol to many.

Talents: A beautifully manicured moustache. Doubtful as to whether it will affect plays on the pitch, but is expected to drive the Algerian crowd to fever pitch support, assisting any crowd surfs, pitch invasions, get the ref and thrown rocks.

Ata Boi was a tailor of mens fine undergarments from El Golea and dreamt of a life outside of the dusty, camel scented sub saharan town of his birth. With tremendous fanfare Ata Boi upped sticks and set out for a new life. He now resides in Benni Abbas, a dusty sub saharan town, making ladies underwear. Which in Algeria is made from purest lace and raw camals hide.
Ata Boi feels like he missed the point somewhat.

Talents: Positive outlook and never giving up even in the face of absolute, unswerving failure will hopefully allow Ata to pull games seemingly out of his ***.

Huong has never worked a day in his life. And who needs to?! When your "largest" talent is supported by extra strong goat sinew britches, and causes even the most proper of ladies to swoon and behave in the manner of the most depraved Soddom harlots, Huong has led a life of unbridled bliss.
No wonder he looks so happy!

Talents: "PHWOOOAR!"

"A man without his Fez is like unto a woman without her moustache" Is the moniker Firuz sets his life by.

A Morroccan born Fez fitter, Firuz the Fez became an Algerian national in the dread winter of '87 when a 6 month ban on the wearing of Fez's by the Morroccan government drove Firuz underground and eventually over the Atlas mountains seeking assylum in Algeria.

Firuz has since found a niche market in the Algiers Bazaars and with the goal of bringing the mighty Fez to a more global appreciation, sporting his trademark headgear, Firuz will be taking to the bloodbowl pitch.

Talents: Firuz has trained in the Tommy Cooper art of magic, and will be using his slight of hand and dodgy magic tricks to blind,stun and generally confuse the opposition.

Sharif was Randy Camels chief opposition in the gurning world cup playoffs. The long time rivalry between the two has led to Sharif joining the Desert Nomads alongside Randy in an attempt to finally outshine the superior gurner. Often thought of as Algeria's second best gurner, Sharif has a lot to prove during the F.I.F.A cup, and only time will tell if he'll cut the mustard.

Talents: A competetive drive that could easily see him do great things. Alternatively, he'll cock everything up.

Despite the name `old Ali`, Ali is in fact only 25 years old. Many years of hard toil in the desert have reduced his once youthful and handsome face to something that resembles old beef jerky or 2 week old kebab meat. The only way to vent his frustration at being uglier than a camels hind quarters is by being the most viscious thug to ever touch a ball.

Talents: Natural aggression and petty minded vindictiveness rarely seen outside of a retirement home bingo night will perhaps gain Ali the edge in the ground blitz game.

An example of what steroid overuse will do. Mustafa's physique has grown in direct proportion to his shrinking mental capabilities.

Mustafa, or "The Spevna" (a vicious desert rodent) was recruited into the Nomads in a desperate attempt to salvage Algerian pride against the upcoming Yanks, after a loss and a scoreless draw in the preceding games.

As an active member of underground organisations such as A.R.S.E ( Algerian Resistance for Social Equality) and T.I.T.S (Total Independence from Tyranny Society) Mustafa is hoping to draw the worlds eyes to Algerias T.I.T.S and A.R.S.E
It is hoped that his daunting presence on the line of scrimmage will release a few dwarvish bowels, and perhaps if lucky, a few bloodied dwarf brains along with them.
