I would like to thank everyone to the first inaugural Africa Pro League Hall of Fame and the first induction class. This has been in the working for quite some time now, a little too long, but its all come together. These players were voted upon and entering into immortality by a voting pannel of the owners and GM's of this league. These players have all strived for excellence in the Africa region, and past or prescence have made a major impact on this league.
Its an honor for me to introduce the key note speaker, a player who was unanimously voted in, RB Jedi Knight of the Lake Opeta Legionnaires. As jedi is unfortunately "stuck" in the Bahama's with a Corona in hand and a bunch of beautiful women massaging him... his agent Buckly will speak in his stead.
"Jedi Knight Synonymous With African Pro League
The African Pro League has been home to some of the greatest players in GLB. Some have joined recently as more teams gain respect from their out of league play and others that played early on then retired or moved on to other teams or leagues. But the shining beacon for loyalty and consistency in African Pro League history is Lake Opeta Legionnaires elite, legendary HB Jedi Knight.
Prior to the start of season 3, Jedi sat down with Legionnaire owner Hokiemon to discuss a future in the newly formed African Pro League. Hokiemon outlined out a simple formula of powerful rushing game plus staunch defense equals Gold Trophies. Young Jedi was impressed and signed on to lead that rushing attack and has been the #1 HB in their offense for every single game in the history of the franchise. With all the retirements and movement through the history of GLB, this accomplishment stands out as a tribute to Jedi's integrity and loyalty.
And in keeping with that initial conversation with Hokiemon, Jedi lead the rushing assault for the Legionnaires to three straight African Pro League Championships in Seasons 3, 4 and 5. There are few, if any, other Pro level teams that can say they have three-peated and this accomplishment and the role he played in it holds a special place in Jedi's heart.
The world was able to catch a glimpse of how great the elite Jedi Knight is in the Season 8 Hazy's Free Flex Giveaway. Game after game he led his team with a solid rushing attack and was rewarded by his worldwide peers with the honor of being the Tournament MVP in a Final Four that showcased his talents head-to-head with another elite back, Larry Csonka of the Monmouth Evil Monkeys. Jedi accounted for all the Legionnaire TD's in that game and his teams victory sealed the MVP award.
Jedi is quick to acknowledge that his success stems from having such a powerful offensive line and dedicated QB's throughout the years and that he shares this honor with all his LOL teammates past, present and future. Even Legionnaire CB Pacman Asomugha."
Without any more delay, im proud to present to you the first ever Africa Pro Hall of Fame class!
