In the Goats' early barnstorming days, before they moved up to face legitimate Blood Bowl teams, they would face teams of volunteers from the local peasantry, whose members were promised twenty gold pieces each if they could defeat the goats. Many men died trying, and few collected on the wager, but there was never a shortage of willing victims, all of whom entered the game thinking something along the lines of, "Goats? How can I lose to some mangy goats? Easy money!"

The one exception was the team's first game after the arrival of Crazy Henrik. The team was in the town of Grunwald, and not a man in the town would sign up to face them. And who could blame them? Look at this terrifying goat! Since then, Farmer Ed has always kept Henrik in the wagon until after the opposing team has been raised.
