The show must go on...

Hey all,

Shouldn't be a surprise, but next matches against DEJA and Arriba will be my last ones as player and Captain of NWA. I hang up my gloves definitely, or at least for a long time, never say never... But I need a very big rest. The reasons are the usual in these cases: I'm 27 and years don't pass in vain... the response of my fingers isn't the same... I can't challenge properly with the new generations... the motivation isn't the same as when I was a youth... my family want me to spend more time with them...

It has been a pleasure play during three seasons and a half in NWA, the most special team of UK in my opinion, leading it three of them (well, to be honest this season was captained by Amunike mainly, and Fabregas and some members of the team) and being part of this big community called FM. I've felt like at home here, I can't say the same about the Spanish main championship, thank you for all. I would like to keep playing as amateur in random public rooms, nothing smells as good as the British grass...

Thanks to Amun and Cesc above all, my best friends here in Haxball, you know it and no need more words. Thanks to Jonny, to tell me to register in this forum in September 2011. Thanks to McSmiley, to sign me for NWA. Thanks to Kalajan, the most loyal player and being always here; OPC, our anthem creator was predestined to play in NWA; Simbi, always with us playing even from Canada; Dooms, trying to save the team till last moment; Noob, doing always your best for the team. Those who have been part of NWA one day, thanks. I would spend hours saying thanks to all the friends made here, but it would take me some hours, hope you understand it so thank you for all.

I will support NWA always, the only team I would play. I will support you in 2nd Division next season, and even if we were relegated to 4th Division. But please never lose that spirit who still makes us special. So for that reason I have the pleasure to announce OPC as the new NWA Captain, keeping Fabs the Vicecaptaincy. Thanks Amun for manage it. NWA is in the best hands. From now I will be a supporter more.

Good night, and good luck. The show must go on...

Lek.

Thanks for everything you've done for NWA and UDH boss, and for signing me and getting me into playing hax in a league. You are a great team member/captain and even better person to know well. Maybe your friends should change 'red lek' to 'orange lek' :P

Most loved member on fm for sure, it will be no where the same without you. And remember you are the most successful and long serving captain and player of NWA- who can forget the famous Ajhax cup :P

The famous 'O' will be retired. You will be with NWA in spirit :)

Lek, what can I say. It's been an absolute pleasure to have you as part of this community and as a captain for the past few seasons so thank you for all that you've done. It's a shame you have to leave NWA but I hope you'll stick around and post from time to time.

You're a great guy and I wish you all the best for the future :melon:

It's an honour to have known you Lek - to have played with you, and against you. Some of my happiest times in the game were spent in those UDH rooms - a credit to all who were involved & i was grateful to be invited to take part. I remember too the times we would play - you me and Fabs against whoever - always with a great atmosphere in the room. Take care my friend & best wishes for the future :melon:
