Angry Kirk is the first ever HT player to receive a non-HT face. It may be short-lived, but here it is, saved for posterity for all to see.
Early Life
The Birth of a Legend
Angry began his career as a member of Kimber FC's youth academy. He was promoted to the senior team at 17.08 with Excellent Winger and Inadequate passing and with a good age for U20's. He was a virtual unknown until he was promoted, and listed in the Excellent YP (Youth Pull) thread for that week. It didn't take long for someone to link his name to Captain Kirk (early Star Trek movies/series) and 'being angry'. "Fire phasers!" was one of the first comments in the thread. It was all taken in great humour and within 7 posts, the current 'photo' was linked to the player by a certain GM-DrKeps (a long-time visitor to the Oceanian Forums, a frequent contributor, and a past U20 manager of Oceania). Within hours the photo appeared.
His coming was greeted with great mirth, and all in Oceania celebrated the amazing gift that had been bestowed on our proud nation. There were no posts of protests at all. However, within 24hrs, a great debate broke out on Global, discussing the pros and cons of such an 'easter egg', and appearing in such a way. The opinions being shared were about 50/50 for and against 'Angry Kirk'.
Accolades
At just 17y 13d was promoted to the Oceanian U20 team.

Notes
The story behind GM-DrKeps among others found the name amusing and asked if HT could change the face to what we later could see:
