So, which player (as in member of a team rather than person that plays BB) do you think is the most known throughout the (RL) world? IE, the 'figurehead' of Blood Bowl

OOps, forgot to mention who I voted for
Morg
Not sure if he was ever mentioned in 1st edition, but he's been a stalwart since 2nd and one of the best in game players. Also featured on the box of 3rd edition, though I would like to see an updated minature for him in the cyberfantasy/rollerball style that GW are doing.

Voted for Morg too, but Borak and especially Griff are coming up in the new BBMags...

I say Morg is the longest standing star, but Griff is very close to overtaking him in the outright recognition stakes. You don't seem to see Morg's name mentioned too often in BB publications anymore.

I voted for Hubris, bc in 2nd ed. fluff he is the coolest: Team captain, Blitzer, Magic user and after retirement still mangling in team affairs of his old team (as coach? or manager? I forgotten).
Morg is just a big brute and Griff is indeed an exceptional player but they are just top-positional players, and not multi-talented genius Hubris.
I guess that's his drawback, he's not mentioned anymore bc. there are on-pitch spell users anymore.

Also Morg although Borak is working very hard on his PR recently

Morg is the most famous, but for sure not the coolest!!!!! I really like hakflem skuttlespike, because of the model and he just rocks the BB planet!!!!

The most famous ~ Morg...the most valuable ~ would be argued. Since Morg was/is available for most teams he seems to be the one everyone knows by name...but other players like Griff and Luthor would be arguable better buys...

Morg epitomizes everything you want in a BB player. He's big, fast, stupid and can pick the ball up two thirds of the time.

Plus he has three magic items from the Death Zone box named after him

Nah, the most famous player has to be THE FANATIC. Well, any star player that is green, short, mean, and armed, has to be one of the most famous players around (Can't help it! They're fan pleasers!).

Its so completely Griff its untrue (and I think you'll find Hurbris Rakarth became the cowboys' Offensive Magic coach or something like that.)
Morg is clearly cooler, but Griff is the most famous.
