par Erik Kantona
Erik is undoubtedly one otf the most brilliant Blood Bowl players ever. Originating from Bretonnia, Erik has led a long if infamous career. As a rookie, Erik was spotted by the coach of the Bright Crusaders. During the ‘Crush’, Erik barged past Pgres, Minotaurs and untold other monsters to get through the door first and into the arms of a Bright Crusaders contract.
Erik soon started to prove himself as a gifted player, however his personality suffered from one flaw. An extremely short fuse even for a Blood Bowl player. Erik’s career with the Bright Crusaders came to an end two seasons after joining the team when his arguments with the board of directors over player sellections for the Cup Finals became physical. Several directors lost teeth and suffered broken noses as Erik practiced his famous ‘drop kick’ seen so many times on the Blood Bowl field. Unfortunately the blood Bowl field is where it should have stayed. In the aftermath Erik was sacked from the Bright Crusaders and the directors used their positions of power to ensure that Erik never worked for a Bretonnian team again.
Erik packed his bags and caught the next stage to the Empire where many teams were offering lucrative deals and sponsorship, willing to risk the Bretonnian’s quick temper in order to have his superlative skills on their blood Bowl team.
Erik spent a season with Leitdorf United, but the team were unwilling to change their tactics to allow Erik to work his magic in the field. Since then Erikk has taken a transfer to superteam Middenham United where he is due to start playing in the next tournament. Officials say that secret deals mean we could see the Drop Kick on our fields during the next few tournaments and we can’t wait to see that action!
Special rules: Kantona Kick (Penalty Roll +9)
Instead of making a block Erik may drop kick against an adjacent opponent. Erik makes a spectacular drop kick striking the player as hard and as high as he can. When Erik does this he counts as having the same ST as the opponent, so make a one dice block. On a pushed back result the player just steps back away from the wild attack and Erik falls to the floor and must make an armour roll. On a knocked down result the opponent is knocked down and adds 3 to the armour roll for the kick in the face. On an attacker down result Erik has missed completely and done himself an injury. Make an injury roll for Erikas he clutches himself on the floor.
If Erik is standing adjacent to the edge of the pitch then he may make a Kantona Kick against the crowd. The crowd count as having the same strength as Erik so it is a one dice block. If the result is a Push back then Erik has a quick tussle with some fans before returning to the game. If the result is Defender goes down, then Erik has landed one of his famous drop-kicks on a fan, your opponents fan-factor is reduced by one permanently. If the result is attacker goes down, the Erik is mobbed by angry fans and is pulled off the field as normal, however, the crowd is so enraged at Erik attacking them that they count as having the Mighty Blow skill.
Every time Erik makes a Kantona Kick he must make a penalty roll to avoid being sent off. Erik does not make a penalty roll after eack touchdown. In this way a Kantona Kick works much more like a foul than a secret weapon. Erik currently holds the record for the most sent off player, at 34 last year it is not likely to be beaten. He just does not know when to quit!
