Player Profile #7

Winter Liu
aka. The Chinese Storm
aka. The Assist-o-maniac

Winter is an amazing contribution t0 The Sam. His all field play helps The Sam get into great goal scoring opportunities. What is unusual about Winter is that his position is usually left back, but when he moves foreward he goes up the right wing.

Winter started his career in far Western China beside the Gobi Desert. He learnt to be a unbelievably talented player by the age of fifteen, and he was known across Western China as 'The boy who can kick a round ball goodly'. His achievements spread across foriegn lands until it reached the ears of a wize old man in Vietnam. This man had in his family another great young player called Duc. The man saw his chance and payed for Winter to join him in his village. Duc and Winter together were now the two best players from Mumbai to Kumchutka. Unfortunetely both of the boys were captures by a dark wizard. Duc escaped by having a (vietnamese) fantasy and learning how to get out in his dream. Winter was taken to japan were he was used to make money for showing his supurb soccer skills. While there, The Sam player Charles Hornblow was on a scouting mission in Japan, and he happened to see Winter one day. Charles briefly talked to hgis The Sam colleagues and promptly offered a transfer fee of $27 million for Winter.

Winter then began strutting his stuff. He performed so well for The Sam that he bacame first team straight away. His nick-name Assist-o-maniac comes from so many assists coming from the foot of Winter. At the beginning of 2006, there was a scare that Winter may leave The Sam for Organic Gangstas or The Challenge but The Sam's board assured fans that no teams in this competition could afford Winter with his minimum $78 million asking price.

Disaster struck in the middle of 2006 though. Winter had to minimise his The Sam playing time drastically to leave time for other commitments. However, it is assured that Winter, even if he does not play another game for The Sam, is contracted to The Sam until well into 2010, so there is no chance that another team may purchase him as is the case with Seung.

Having Winter play for The Sam has been very inspirational for the team. As one of the most reliable, friendly and skillful players of The Sam, he will not only be sorely missed, he will be irreplaceble.
