Hi, i am new to these pages but I wonder if anybody remembers who won the 1997 UK GT championship. I have all the other champions listed but nobody seems to know who this was (not even GW) so please help if you can.

Was that the first year of the Gt?

 

[cox61171]

no i believe it was the second year it took place.

ah, well i know that the first one was featured in wd, i would have thought the 2nd would have been as well but i couldn't be entirely sure, although i think that that was too and i seem to remember a battle report between the WH gt winner and the staff WH winner one of which was using orcs. I remember i wanted to get tickets but couldn't at the time. You would think GW would have this info somewhere

Out of interest how comes your after this info on GT winners?

 

[cox61171]

its just an interest of mine to know these things, sad i know, but its like knowing finals of other things like sport, i can usually spout useless info about them and as i have been into this hobby for nearly 5 years now, and have never been to a GT (yet, hopefully this year!), I just want to find out + i find it amusing that nobody at GW knows!!

 

[Too_hot_to_handle]

indeed

I think the winner played skaven?
Got himself pasted by Gorden Rennie (the ork player (staff champ)) in the battle report.
I cant remember the skaven players name but can find out when im back in the UK at christmas if it means this much to you
I think this is the one your after, but couldnt swear to it.
Alternatively, if you ask really nicely i can find out tommorow/soon, but i'll need to skype the UK.
Just let me know.
