Fips attempts to go 'Back To The Future'

The legendary Fips Hanus, former Nuclear Cup superstar, who retired at the end of last season has had to adapt to civilian life over the past year. Sources close to Fips however claim that the legend has so far struggled to adapt, especially since the passing of his great rival and now Units Hall Of Fame forward, Charles "Bud" Tingwell. On top if this, the opening of his own restaurant has also only had limited success, and being knocked out of 'So You Think You Can Dance' in the third round have begun to take their toll on the legend.

Over the last two months Fips has hatched a plan to relive the glory days of the Nuclear Cup, and has created a time machine, based on documentary he watched (featuring Michael J. Fox). It requires the car to reach 88 miles/hour in order to 'jump', however for some reason or another, he has struggled to get the car to this pace.

Units honour Bud

The worlds of film, television and Hattrick are in mourning following the death of Charlie "Bud" Tingwell. Bud will remembered by all for his stellar acting career and as his role as The Units favourite forward.

Born in Sydney, Bud's prodigious talent was obvious from a young age when he became Australia's youngest radio announcer at station 2CH. When WWII broke out, Bud joined the Royal Australian Air Force, flying many dangerous missions over Nazi territory in Europe and the Middle East.
After the war, Bud worked as an actor in film and television constantly for almost his entire life, in Australia, the UK and hollywood. His most famous roles were in the TV series homicide, as well as legendary Aussie movies "Breaker Morant" and "The Castle".
On the Hattrick field, Bud was an original member of The Units. He played 83 games for the club, including many in the Nuclear Cup, where he scored more than 20 goals, believed to be a record. Perhaps his greatest day was the final of the inaugural Nuclear Cup, where he scored the final goal, ensuring victory for his beloved Units.

Bud died just 2 days after retirement from Hattrick, his last match was a testimonial to him against the Green Loraxes. Fittingly, his last ever action was to score a goal, from the penalty spot in an exciting shoot-out.

Charlie "Bud" Tingwell was today inducted into The Units Hall Of Fame, where he joins fellow founding members of The Units, Frankie Motlop and Randall Sadler.

After Bud's departure, The Units have only one original player left in the squad - midfielder and probable future coach Rocky Naiqama. Rocky stated:
I will dedicate all of my future efforts with The Units to the memory of Charlie "Bud" Tingwell.

Randall Sadler inducted into Units Hall of Fame

The Units now have two players in the Hall of Fame. Original Units midfielder/defender Randall Sadler joins Frankie Motlop as an immortal Unit. Randall, a largely unobtrusive figure, was much loved by the club for his steadfast loyalty- even though he was hardly ever picked for the senior lineup. In fact, Randall still had only poor experience, despite playing 83 matches over seven seasons for the club, and retiring at 31 years of age.
He will be best remembered for scoring a hattrick in The Units first ever cup win, here are the highlights:
The counterattack by Units resulted in a free kick that Randall Sadler bent under the crossbar - 0 - 1!
A penalty was called after 11 minutes, and Units's Randall Sadler made the most of his chance to put his team up by another goal. 0 - 2 for the visitors.
The home keeper was stunned 37 minutes into the match when he misjudged the free kick by Randall Sadler and dived in the wrong direction. The visitors increased the lead to 0 - 3. This third goal made a hat trick for Randall Sadler.

The Units Hall of Fame is expected to be further expanded when club legend Charlie "Bud" Tingwell retires after his last ever match this week, a testimonial to the great man against his greatest rivals the Green Loraxes.

Fips celebrates Loraxes' victory

Green Loraxes most famous fan, the legendary Fips Hanus, paid tribute to his beloved Green Loraxes after the club won an historic 3rd consecutive Nuclear Cup. Fips was seen entertaining Lorax fans with his patented motorbike tricks.

GREEN LORAXES 3 IN A ROW!!!!!

The mighty Green Loraxes have won the Nuclear Cup for the 3rd consecutive season, proving beyond doubt they are the best team of the current era. The final was one of the greatest Nuclear Cup matches ever, as the Loraxes defeated an extremely strong Bluthenthal lineup 4-3 in a thriller.

The Loraxes found themselves behind after just 4 minutes, but equalised a minute later. A sensational period later on in the first half saw the Loraxes score 2 goals, including a second by Fredrik Bredbatt, and by the 37 minute mark looked like winners, leading 3-1. Bluthenthal made a tremendous comeback to level the scores 3-3 early in the second half.
However, the turning point of the match came at the 62 minute mark, when a controversial penalty was awarded to the Loraxes, which Solomon converted. Bluthenthal fans were rightly furious, and the referee in question is now deceased.
Bluthenthal were unable to score again, and the Loraxes hung on for a wonderful victory.
The unlucky Bluthenthal side will have to wait until Nuclear Cup VI for another chance at glory, and most pundits predict another strong showing from the Italian club.
