Whatever his fate, Ames will always be remembered for his heroic solo play, as a skilless rookie, against Plague Harbringer. The Trolls having let the side down - skulling a blitz and fumbling a TTM effort - Ames was the only player left who could chase down the Blodge Gutter Runner fleeing with the ball.

One POW later, and the rat lay stunned. Ames sprinted to collect the ball. But his troubles were not over. Another rat blitzed him, but could only push him towards the sidelines.

His team-mates too far away to help him, Ames steeled himself and made three dodges past grasping rat hands - back to the protective shelter of the Trolls!
