George Perrozzi

AKA: Hench Messi, Furious George, Badger, Badgotelli

George Perrozzi has been a mainstay of the Charlie's Warlocks attack since the team's second ever game after a glowing recommendation from head scout, Simon Millson: "Got your man and he's quality, he's basically a hench Messi". During his illustrious career, George has netted countless goals and is widely believed to be the club's all-time leading goalscorer. George is lauded for his outstanding technical ability and unparralelled dribbling skills, leading many Warlocks to have dubbed him the most naturally gifted player in the squad. His reputable talent coupled with a fiery passion for the game make Perrozzi one of the most feared players in the Barnet Powerleague.

George is often criticised for a reluctance to give up the ball, choosing instead to attempt to take on the entire opposing team by himself, often succeeding. It is even rumoured that Perrozzi insisted upon a term being written into his Warlocks contract alleviating him of the obligation to pass the ball until he has beaten at least six players or scored a hattrick. Indeed it is the regularity of success of George's long winding runs, often culminating in spectacular individual goals, that lead his fellow Warlocks to forgive his over-indulgence in the ball. In fact, George's endless dribbles have proved valuable to fellow team members, allowing them vital time to rest, take a lie down and chat among themselves to catch up on the week's events. In Season 4 an official Powerleague inquest was launched to determine whether Perrozzi was actually gluing the ball to his boot.

George has never strayed too far from controversy and has been the subject of a multitude of brushes with Powerleague authority. On one occasion George is recalled to have dropkicked the referee in the head for having the audacity not to award him a freekick; on another, George demonstrated his discontent at having had a goal disallowed by punching a kitten in the face. Opponents are regularly seen sporting mouthguards and protective headgear upon seeing Perrozzi's name on the Warlocks teamsheet and riot police are always close at hand for important matches. Ashkan Rahmat is known to occasionally hire Perrozzi as 'muscle' to ensure the smooth delivery of his 'shipments'.

George has suffered from a recurring shoulder dislocation which has plagued his Warlocks career throughout. Legend has it that whenever the injury occurs, George simply stares down at his shoulder and intimidates it back into place. To alleviate the pain, George has experiemented with a variety of 'medicinal' remedies and is often seen polishing off an entire packet of cigarettes after a match, sometimes 3 or 4 at a time. Due to his remarkable dribbling talent, his affinity with Manchester United and his love affair with vast quantities of cigarettes and alcohol, many have alluded to the theory that George is in fact a distant relative of United legend, George Best.
