Cheerleaders
The self-appointed cheerleaders of the Gouged Eye are stronger and larger than most of their male counter parts. They appeared one day, disappointed with a poor season from the team to properly ‘motivate’ them. Now they regularly take to the side-lines, hurling insults and bottles at the players, starting crude Orcish chants and egging the Orc players on to give the opposing team more of a kicking. [3]
History
Soon after the first rumours of the game called Blood Bowl reach the Orcs in 2403 IC the Gouged Eye are formed when spies kidnap and bring back a coach to train them. As a specalist rushing trainer, his skills are limited and the team loose all but one of their first seventy-two games. [1a]
In 2429 IC, the kidnapping of passing expert Vimmy Gloam allows the orc team to devlop the new skills its needs to build them into a formidable force in the game. They enter the Central Division in 2431 IC under Captain Eruk Ogrehack and manage to achieve third place and many flock to join the team when the Emperor Skullcrush XI allows Orcs to choose between the army and Blood Bowl. [1a]
The Gouged Eye achieve their first Blood Bowl trophy in 2464 IC defeating the Dwarf Giants at the Middenheim stadium led by captain Hurk Verminsmasher. [1a] Although defeated at home in 2470 IC in Blood Bowl X by the Galadrieth Gladiators [4b] They would win again in 2473 IC. [4a]
