==Summary==
''It's a dark, harsh, drunken life as a professional athlete, and a man's physical attributes are nearly everything he has to offer - sometimes more than he knows.''

A series of awful accidents is plaguing the Watford Wolverines, and it seems the team is cursed. The players must overcome infighting, jealousy, and their hard-drinking culture if they are to survive their mysterious persecutor.

===Synopsis===
{{spoiler|
The source of the "accidents" is one Tommy Donachie, the aging former striker of the team, recently dismissed. More specifically, it's his '''leg''', severed by a train in a drunken mishap. Tommy recently staged a comeback thanks to steroids, but the drugs were cheap black-market stuff with who-knows-what contaminants, and have wrought havoc on Tommy's mind. He became convinced that people only cared about his famous right leg, ignoring him as a person - and worse, that his leg was conspiring against him. When the accident severed his leg, empowered by the cocktail of Belgian steroids and Tommy's burning resentment, it animated and began taking revenge on Tommy's supposed enemies. Throughout the scenario, the implausibly-cunning leg plots a whole series of murders, while Tommy slowly goes utterly insane as he realises his own leg will eventually come for him, too.

===Keeper Comments===
It's unlikely that any English footballing museum would call itself ''Soccer'' anything.
The scenario assumes that a large number of deaths take place, regardless of what the players do. The inability to save any of the victims may frustrate some players.

This is written as a full-on horror, but could easily be adapted for light or comedy horror. A vengeful leg is prime comedy material, while tamping down the attacks to be ''almost'' fatal (especially when PCs intervene) would make it a much lighter scenario.

The mysterious drug used by Donachie could be a hook to link into other scenarios. It could easily affect different victims differently, allowing a range of scenarios to be used. Jackie Hyde, who gives Tommy the drug, could be made a more dangerous figure who is deeply involved in its creation and distribution.
