No.	Pos.	Nat.	Player	Age End of Season Player Awards Each season the club hosts a low-key and somewhat obscure awards ceremony. First held at the end of season 39 several awards have been given out for various disciplines and under various names. Most annoying Injury Over the course of the club's history there has always been at least one major injury blow which has in effect hampered the club's fortunes. The player whose injury has most contributed to this is awarded this prize. Season Dedicatee Winner 39 Michael Owen Andy Laing 40 No Award N/A 41 Michael Owen Nick Hall 42 Michael Owen Sead Tipura 43 Wayne Rooney Vedran Santo 44 Andy Laing Tommy Truman 45 Andy Laing Andy Durrant 46 Andy Laing Ken McCartney Worst Form Given to the player who has consistently cause the manager selection problems due to dreadful form over the course of a season. Season Dedicatee Winner 39 Didier Drogba Anker Christensen 40 Didier Drogba Ken McCartney 41 Didier Drogba Stan Esteban 42 Didier Drogba Ken McCartney 43 Wayne Rooney Si Dhawan 44 Anker Christensen Phil Bannatyen 45 Anker Christensen David Clancy 46 Anker Christensen The whole squad Most likely to be a letdown Generally a display of typical Ratpigs' show of sarcasm in identifying the most promising young player in the squad, but also identifies the one most likely to be a letdown. A special award was given to the Ratpiglets' scouting team for their failure to scout a suitable goalkeeper prospect over the course of season 43. Season Dedicatee Winner 39 Freddy Adu Ken McCartney 40 Freddy Adu Rod Aveyard 41 Freddy Adu Shamim Yaqub 42 Freddy Adu Christopher Young 43 Wayne Rooney The Scouts 44 Shamim Yaqub Warren Martin 45 Shamim Yaqub Warren Martin 46 Shamim Yaqub Herman Leeman Lifetime Achievement The most prestigious and serious award of the season, given to a player who has demonstrated his importance to the club over the course of the season and his whole career. Season Dedicatee Winner 39 Sir Bobby Robson Andy Mullen 40 Sir Bobby Robson Horace Waite 41 Sir Bobby Robson Anker Christensen 42 Sir Bobby Robson Nick Hall 43 Wilf Mannion Phil Bannatyen 44 Wilf Mannion Ken McCartney 45 Wilf Mannion Steven Clarke 46 Wilf Mannion Tommy Trainer The Terry Butcher Award Discontinued after keeping track of injuries became too difficult, notably with all 1st team squad members receiving an award during the last two seasons of its' existence. The award is given to any player who played a match that season while bruised. Season Winners 39 Tommy Trainer, Richard Faulkes, Phil Bannatyen, Andrew Mullen and Anker Christensen 40 Andy Laing, Ken McCartney, Koen Van Tongeren 41 All first team squad members 42 All first team squad members The Newcastle Brown Ale drinking competition Held at the end of the night, this is exactly what it sounds like, with the event being dominated by Horace Harrington who won every competition held by the club until it was discontinued in protest at the closure of the Federation Brewery in Gateshead, and also due to an ultimatum by King's Arms (the venue for the ceremony) landlord George Hutchison, about the vomit the competition caused. The 100 Club The 100 Club is a select group of special Ratpigs who have played over 100 league and cup games for the club over their careers. The first player to reach this much celebrated milestone was Andy Mullen. When a player reaches this milestone a special Press Announcement is released, paying tribute to the player and his contribution to the club over the 100 games he has played for them. Here are the 100 club members and their tributes: Andrew Mullen (19th July 2009) THE INAUGURAL 100 CLUB MEMBER Andrew Mullen has become the first player in the club's history to reach the landmark of 100 appearances for the club in league and cup competitions, after his contribution to the Ratpigs 5-1 defeat of The Ultimate Arsenal. A special trophy to commemorate the occasion was all ready to be presented to Mullen by bobby before the kick off until bobby refused to do it because he "detests" it when clubs celebrate "meaningless accolades" before league games. Instead, hall of fame member Adam Florence, the coach who brought Mullen to the club for the measly sum of £100,000 from the red devels back in bobby's first season will present Mullen with his trophy on Tuesday night at the Stade Hass where a testimonial match will be played against one of the Cleveland region's finest teams, Dead From the Waist down. Anker Christensen (15th February 2010) ANKER REACHES 100 WITH CLEAN SHEET Legendary goalkeeper Anker Christensen celebrated his 100th match for the Ratpigs with a clean sheet in a fairly unconvincing 4-0 win away to strugglers Staveley FC. The great Dane spent much of the match counting blades of grass and chatting up female fans behind his goal which remained untroubled all afternoon. It wasn't always plain sailing for the goalkeeper who joined the club back in December 2007 and really struggled to find form early on prompting some fans to add a certain extra consonant towards the end of the alphabet in front of his first name. His form has been irrational over the years, meaning now he is usually the reserve to new boy Diogo Tilico for the big matches, Anker takes more of a backseat role in preparation for one day becoming a coach. He becomes the second Ratpig to reach 100, and will be presented with a special crate of Carlsberg Export by the first 100 club member, Andrew Mullen, to mark the occasion at the next Ratpigs home match. Nick Hall (28th May 2010) BOBBY FORGETS BIG NICK'S BIG DAY Like a husband who has forgotten his wife's birthday bobbymkii had to issue a grovelling apology to his star defender, Nick Hall for failing to notice he had reached a landmark which is usually recognised in a very ceremonious fashion, a player's 100th match for Ratpigs! It's a particularly important one for Nick as he was the club's first former youth player to break into the senior squad and is now the first of this crop to reach the much maligned landmark. "well done Nick" said a red faced Bobby "and may there be many more who follow in your footsteps!" Phil Bannatyen (6th September 2010) from SUPERSUB TRUMAN SAVES THE DAY Elsewhere at the club, there were two important appearance landmarks celebrated. Phil Bannatyen made his 100th appearance for the club and the first player to reach said feat, Andy Mullen now has over 150 appearances under his belt. Long may these versatile stalwarts of the Ratpigs setup continue to grace the team! Tommy Trainer (26th December 2010) TOMMY TAKES THE HONOURS Defender Tommy Trainer joined a list of Ratpigs legends as he made appearance number 100 for the club this afternoon, helping the team to a hard fought 3-1 victory against struggling 90 minute full speed. Tommy has often been the bridesmaid to the more decorated and revered Ratpigs youth products such as Hall, McCartney and Clarke and has also found limited opportunities to get into bobby's increasingly offensive formations. But with Hall having to watch from the sidelines today Tommy played out of his skin, practically as a lone defender. Elsewhere, a rare start produced a late goal for Rudi Hopper to seal the victory late on. Ken McCartney (15th May 2011) OOPS! SORRY KENNETH... after a noticeably smaller amount of dedication to Hattrick attributed to the two season ruining defeats to Boltz bobby, once again, forgot to note that one of his key players reached the 100 game milestone. Despite still only being 24 years old, Ken McCartney has reached this milestone, becoming the youngest ever to do so. The class of '09 winger was said to not mind this as he has his sights firmly set on becoming the first player to reach 200. Only 98 to go Kenny! Homegrown Policy While not a fully homegrown club (yet), as shown in the playing staff roster the club is heavily based around academy trained players and the average competitive starting 11 usually contains 7 or 8 players who kicked their first ball in the hattrick system in the Ratpiglets youth academy. The club usually trains players in each position for one calendar year each, leading to the "Class of..." categories for each group of trainees.

Despite managing to notch up two wins Ratpigs were relegated on the last day after a defeat to JMB's Army, with soon-to-be-botified TheLiverpool sneaking into sixth with a 2-2 draw against bot team Hyuga Neji. The most memorable moment of the season came after the crushing 9-0 defeat to w.o.l.v.e.s and resulted in goalkeeper Horace Harrington's spectacular nervous meltdown, culminating in a standoff with Cleveland Police on Middlesbrough's Newport Bridge.

It would prove to be a very long crack. Transfers in: Jan Kastak (£53k) Transfers out: Warren Vanteijlingen (£1k) P Team GD PTS P 1. FC 07 Ratpigs 56 39 P 2.

It also saw a landmark first ever cup win. The rest of the season was typically inconsistent, but Ratpigs managed to achieve their goal of improving their previous season's performance and finished the season in 4th.

Elsewhere however, competition was hotting up as Ratpigs and two other teams, 28G (previously known as Israel Vibration) and Lincolnshire Terriers began growing and developing at more or less the same rate. Ratpigs eventually came out on top of this pile of clubs to reach a record league position and cap a successful campaign, prompting bobby to break the club's transfer record on boosting the midfield for the following season's campaign. Transfers in: Panait "Panni" Vlad £666,667, Hakan "Hank" Salzgeber £272,000, Gilberto Montinho £321,654. Transfers out: Craig Golding £41,330, Dougie Murray £102,000. P Team GD PTS P 1.

With a squad that was considerably more powerful than in previous seasons due to the signings of Vlad and Salzgeber as well as the development of the Ratpigs' YA-born defence things looked promising for the Ratpigs, but defeats to Terriers and eventual runaway winners 28G put paid to that dream. The end of the season saw the notable arrival of future coach and hall of famer Horace Waite.

Hall of Fame Adam Florence Ratpigs' first coach, won promotion from VII.205. Denis Jankowski Ratpigs' original set piece master, now owns a restauraunt in the stadium's Tees End. Allan Evans Club record goalscorer with 50 goals, although Stevie Clarke is hot on his heels. Alex Kellen The former winger was recently appointed to be club secretary. Horace Waite Legendary striker and coach who coached England to Q2 elimination and Ratpigs to their VI.249 title. Horace Harrington Legendary boozehound and crazed 3rd choice goalkeeper, the final member of the original 1st team squad to retire from playing. Hall of Shame Andy Laing Promised much, but earned much more in wages than he delivered on the pitch, getting injured at just the wrong time. The former club record signing is much hated on Teesside and was forced to flee for Serbia. Shamim "ShamYaq' Yaqub The club's first ever excellent YA prospect, but timed his arrival with that of the current class of '10 and was unable to meet his potential. Now fulfilling his destiny under the watchful eye of Flanks at Wotcha. Historic Rivalries Strangely Brown A local rivalry which has never seen a competitive fixture, only an almost-every-season encounter between the two clubs held at alternating venues. Early fortune favoured the Brown, but Ratpigs have dominated the fixture ever since, despite a resurgent Brown in recent times. Most hated player: Wesley Zahren Israel Vibration/28G For 6 seasons Ratpigs competed against yayo's boys in a fierce rivalry which saw the teams lock horns for some fearsome battles. Ratpigs produced some good results at home to the Sussex boys, but were never able to beat or even draw when playing away to the team, thus eventually 28G beat Ratpigs to win two VI.249 titles, the latter resulting in the side's promotion to V. Since then, 28G have become a solid V team capable of promotion with a similar (if not as extreme) homegrown policy to the Ratpigs and many of the players who terrorised the Ratpigs at the Osefia'a stadium remain at the club today. Most Hated Player: Ryan Navarro Lincolnshire/Notts Terriers The longest running competitive rivalry in Ratpigs' history, but unlike their other great rivals in VI.249, 28G, Ratpigs managed to beat JimmyDeemo's team from the East Midlands to win eventual promotion, despite the Terriers previously prevailing to snatch the trophy from Ratpigs' grasp in season 40. The Terriers recently managed to escape VI.249's vicious stranglehold and after a tricky start in V Jimmy has managed to solidify his team at that level. Most Hated player: Glenn Mack The Ultimate Arsenal The term rivalry is used very loosely by some Ratpigs fans, as the team have never actually lost to the Arsenal. The closest the team have come to overcoming the Ratpigs was in season 41 when a well executed pressing tactic secured a draw at the Stade Hass, the only points Ratpigs would drop. The club gained momentum and, under the mentoring of nosliwttocs the club began to produce terrifying ratings, particularly in midfield. The Arsenal were quick to follow Ratpigs into V and very quickly progressed to IV where they are now threatening to make up for their poor competitive record against the Ratpigs by overtaking them in the Hattrick league system. Most Hated Player: Andy Oberberberberberbatovenbuchner Boltz Utd Despite being a fiercely competitive and open league there were no notably active teams in V.97, therefore bobby was somewhat pleased to discover he would be sharing his new league with one of the HT world's most notorious participants, Welsh NT manager Boltz101. Bobby was somewhat less pleased when he saw Boltz's squad which far eclipsed his own in terms of quality, depth and most noticeably, experience, with the squad littered with former and current NT and U20 international players. With Bobby leading the way for the first half of the season his side came unstuck in a cruel double header with Boltz securing comfortable wins in both fixtures. Despite this, United have had unfortunate results against other teams in the league, meaning that at present they face a last day battle to win the league and secure a playoff place, level with Alan's Allstars.
