To be included here, one must be of the utmost talent, personality, and success within the league. And also dead or retired (otherwise, we'd be cursing thier families rather than paying homage).
(dark elf blitzer/Chaos All-Stars and National Disaster)
122 touchdowns. No one in the history of the league has dominated the sport like Daht L Ooeul. His records are almost too numerous to list, including most TD's in a single game (6!). Daht helped lead the Chaos All-Stars to the inagural Chaos Cup title, and then formed his own team which over 5 seasons lost a total of 2 games ever, and took back to back Blood Bowl titles. When the Chaos All-Stars reformed with him as team captain, he became the de facto quarterback, and racked up over 70 completions before his untimely and ignominious demise at the feet of a hobgoblin. Daht had set precedents regularly in the game of Blood Bowl before his death, and looks to set a few more after, as the undead team It Came From the Cursed Pit II has re-animated him as a Vampire. Unfortunately, Daht refused to play on such a ragtag team and is working on getting back on the All-Stars in time for the Chaos Cup III tournament. Unfortunately for Daht, the league officially capped his former statistics, and in addition to having to adjust to his new abilities (and limitations) as a Vampire, he must 'start over' as a recognized player. Which, knowing Daht, means he'll likely be the first and perhaps only player to make it to the Hall of Fame twice.
(skaven lineman/NASDAQ Ratz)
EisenFaust was the first serial killer-type player of our league, averaging just over one kill per game before his untimely demise shortly after Chaos Cup I.
(das Ubervermin/Los Froggies)
Dieter was the team captain for das Ubervermin during it's most sucessful seasons, and surpassed Spider as the all time leading scorer for the team. It was Dieter's blazing speed and agility that won the DungeonBowl II title, and was responsible for many a win by das Ubervermin. Dieter was even looking to be a threat to Daht L Ooeul's all time TD record (Dieter racked up over 90) before falling to Arkham in the Dungeonbowl III quarterfinals.
(human catcher/Mighty ThUnderGround Alliance and Thunder Mountain Lightning)
Martyn, in addition to being a standout scorer, was one of the best brawlers on the human/dwarf Alliance team, regularly knocking around guys over twice his size. When the Alliance disbanded, and many of the human players reformed as the Lightning, he signed on as team captain, but met his death shortly afterward. Teammate and fellow HOF'er Billy Thompson dedicated his team's Blood Bowl II championsip game to Martyn's memory (and even tho they lost, it was a nice gesture, don't you think?)
(minotaur blocker/Kings of Chaos and Arkham Assasins)
Payne was, bar none, the hardest hitter in league history. Nobody, no matter how strong, fast, agile, or tough, could stand up well to a shoulder tackle by 'the great one'. After 2 straight tournament championships, however, Payne and teammate Howling Long got into some sort of argument with the management of the Kings and ate them, along with most of the team. Afterward, the pair of Minotaurs were commited to Arkham Asylum, where before long Payne became captain of their intramural Blood Bowl team, which coincidentally moved up to the major leagues upon their arrival. Getski finally got what he was so apt to give however, at the hands of the Tunnel Pirates. Since then, two new "Payne Getskis" have emerged, one on the Assasins (said to actually be someone who THINKS he's Getski, and therefore crazy, and therefore committed to Arkham), and a rather robust mummy on the udead team 'It Came From the Cursed Pit II', which claims to be the original re-animated.
(skaven gutter runner/Chaos All-Stars, NASDAQ Rats)
Spider was one of the most prolific scorers in the early days of the league, first on the original Chaos All-Star squad, then after a dispute with team co-captain Daht L Ooeul, was traded to the rival Rats. Spider almost had his revenge, leading his new team to the Chaos Cup I finals against the All-Stars, and scoring all 3 of his team's TD's (he would have gotten the MVP if Daht L Ooeul hadn't scored 4!). Spider led his team again to the brink of the Blood Bowl I championship, but was killed just prior to the tournament, and again his team fell just short of the title.
(orc thrower/National Disaster, Garthog's Gitstabbas)
Chuk always knew he had team-captain potential, but stuck as the 16th man on a major team like National Disaster, with I.F. Hurricaine taking all the glory, he was virtually an unkown, even after becoming one of the inaugural Blood Bowl champions. He soon got his chance to prove himself, however, when his home tribe decided to form up their own team and buy out his contract. And prove himself he did, being both the team's top scorer and an unnervingly accurate passer on the rare occasion that the Gitstabbas' box-offence needed it. His victory in DungeonBowl I, while controversial, established him as a bona-fide superstar. Chuk never got the opportunity for back to back titles, however, as he met his demise at the feet of Arkham Assasin's deadly Two-Face, near the end of the DugeonBowl II season.
(witch elf/National Disaster)
Neela Aslon was the mainstay of National Disaster's defense. She is the leagues all-time interception leader with 12 career picks, and was one of the hardest hitting linebackers ever to take the pitch. Her near guarantee of eliminating one potential scorer at the start of every drive and uncanny feel for second-guessing opposing QB's gave fits to even the most prolific of scoring teams. After National Disaster's break up, Neela petitioned herself to join the Chaos All-Stars along with her teammate Daht L Ooeul, but the league had bent the rules enough allowing Daht back, and wouldn't allow (despite the All-Star's protests) her entry as a player. Not interested in playing on a 'second-rate' team, she accepted cheerleader status on the newly revamped Chaos All-Stars, ending her illustrious playing career.
(human catcher/Mighty ThUnderGround Alliance and Thunder Mountain Lightning)
Billy "hands" Thompson was the #2 catcher on MTUGA and eventually became team captain of the Lightning after the death of Martyn Xeron. While Billy was not as flashy as his predecessor, he was the best utility man in the league, being able to do any job adequately, and being a top reciever, and led his team to the finals of Blood Bowl II, as well as scoring the winning TD to give the Kings of Chaos the only defeat in thier history. With Thompson at the helm, the Lightning were the favorites going in to the Spike! II tournament, but Thompson was killed by the notorious Two-Face in a match preceding the tourney, and without their captain, the Lighting were still able to make the finals, but not take the title.
(dark elf lineman/ Naggaroth Marauders)
Johnny Hottub was never the fastest player on the Marauders. Nor the strongest. Or best passer, or catcher. But nonetheless he was the most feared player to ever take the pitch for the team. When a downed player saw those bermudas approaching, he knew the end was nigh. Almost single-handedly responsible for taking out Los Froggies as a contender from the DungeonBowl II season, even without championship experience Johnny made an impact in numerous title tournaments. Finally, he met his doom against das Ubervermin. More surprising than his death was his longevity, as he refused to ever enter the field with more than his shorts and shades on!
(gutter runner/ das Ubervermin)
DungeonBowl II champion
Verfer was a mainstay on das Ubervermin's defense, as he was the first player to ever play with poison wind globes. While technically illegal, they allowed his team to strike enemies beyond even the range of a skaven blitz. Verfer helped hold the dU endzone during the DungeonBowl II finals, and was having a stellar Chaos Cup III season when he met his demise at the hands of Garthog's Gitstabbas. (he was also Aaron's coolest-painted mini)
Jirkil
(dark elf thrower/ Naggaroth Marauders)
Without a doubt the most accurate, skilled passer in the history of the league. Seemingly destined for championship glory, his career was marred by his unfortunate case of butterfingers. While Jirkil, before his demise at the hands of Arkham Assasins, regularly swapped all-time passing records with Ernst Mach, one statistic Jirkil is undisputedly the all time leader in is fumbles. Despite this setback, Jirkil was able to take his often injury-beleagered Marauders to numerous tournament upsets, tho he never quite made it to a finals game.
Hairfoot Toejam
(halfling/ Storm Blade)
Spike! II champion
The greatest halfling to ever play the game, Hairfoot was responsible for many a one-turn TD and gamebreaking play. Often overlooked by opponents, Hairfoot more than pulled his weight during Storm Blade's title season.
