Olympic Champion

Chrisitan Averette was best known as a voracious attacking full-back and, to date, has scored more goals from a defensive position than any other player in Starblaydia's history: an astonishing twelve. Not quite enough to be the first defender to enter the exclusive Rapaii 15 club, but noteworthy for how close he got.

He first got on the score sheet in the 15th AOCAF as Starblaydia attempted to defend their fifth championship. Four goals came his way in that tournament, including a brace against Myrtannia in a 6-0 win. Though he scored Starblaydia's second goal in the Semi-Finals against Nedalia they ultimately lost 3-2, though went on to win the Third-Place match. It would prove to be the highest number of goals he scored in any one tournament.

His crowning achievement was at the First Olympic Games where he and his team won the Gold Medal match, Christian scoring against Liverpool England in the first knock-out stage along the way.

Through the rest of his career he was a fairly regular scorer, bagging two goals in the three World Cups he played in, scoring against AwalKB and Montegrande in World Cup 30, Assegai Developments in the qualifiers and Jeruselem in the finals of World Cup 31 and finally against Northern Caesarea and Schnabo in his final appearances at World Cup 32.

He wore the Number 2 shirt with pride for two Cups, and never has a Starblaydi full-back bombed-on and overlapped more than he.
