Units hero, Hattrick champion, Nuclear Cup leviathan and general worldwide megalegend Charlie "Bud" Tingwell has announced his retirement from Hattrick; this season will be his last.
Hattrick fans everywhere are torn between despairing at the thought of Bud's playing days being over, and rejoicing at the memory of the all-time Grand Master.
Bud has given everything to his beloved Units ever since he was part of the clubs original lineup many seasons ago. Bud said "sadly, my aging body is causing me to lose skills, and I will never again reach the spectacular high's [passable] of my younger days".
Up to one trillion fans are expected to converge on Nuclear Cup venues for the rest of the season to see Bud grace the field for the final few times; as Nuclear Cup V finishes, so will Bud's career.
One final send-off is planned, at the end of the season: the Charlie "Bud" Tingwell testimonial match, when the Units will take on Bud's favourite rivals the Green Loraxes in a friendly at the Royal Puros Arena. The occasion, when Bud will set foot on the Hattrick pitch for the very last time is expected to be histories largest party.
Obviously, Bud will then be inducted into the Units' hall of fame.
