ODDS AND ENDS ABOUT HATTRICK

The Legendary Bob Sunesson

In the Clubhouse of Tjecko-85 (1713), you can find the followoing description: "HT:s biggest star. A lof of lemonade and jam products is named after him (which is what he does with his opponents). Women's wet dream, everybody's idol. Noone can resist Bob!" This is a proud description for a player who never received more than 1 star in a match.  But the man with the official number 773204, born on 23th January 2001, was the only "beloved member of the team" in the HT world for many years. On 1st April 2006, his owner announced the sudden end of Bob's career, followed by an endless wave of mourning conference members.
Today, in the bot team of Baghdad Babylonians (1602380), there is a Bob (109567443) to be found. This player, also known as "Baghdad Bob" , seems to be Bob Sunesson's  reincarnation, as he is the second player ever with the attribute "beloved member of the team".

Some other Legends

- It is said that the Dutch Sije Silvis (128275087) is the best youth pull ever. When he first appeared on the Hattrick stage on 17th July at the age of 17, he had a TSI of 6820, and three days later, he was sold for 9,180,000 €. 

- Another Dutch, Herman Vooijs (14720983), broke the 2,500,000 TSI mark as the first player ever, and promptly went down to 0. They say that the Hattrick servers could not count over this mark, but have now been adjusted.

- The oldest player in HT is probably the Swede Sven Åkerblad (102511). He is currently an 83-year-old healthy trainer (solid, defenceminded), training the Swedish bot-team Men on a Mission. A popular guy, he is balanced and upright  wretched leadership abilities and - small wonder - divine experience. (Information thanks to jsuau, manager of Cirujano's F.C. (121533) .

A Test Team

The Swedish team IFK Buggtest  (99700) is used by Swedish GMs to test reported bugs. It was born on 09th July 2005 and has since then promoted twice from 9th into 7th league. However, it has never had any transfers, only a handful of youth pulls, so today only 4 out of 21 players are younger than 27 years.

Who comes in as a substitute?

- If you have an injured defender and no defender as sub, your sub IM will come in.
- If you have an injured IM and no IM as sub, your sub defender will come in.
- If you have an injured winger and no winger as sub, your sub forward will come in.
- If you have an injured forward and no forward as sub, your sub wing will come in.
