Onion Terror: A History (Forward, Glorious Onions!)

Whilst the Italian glory years were unfolding for the Onions, FML itself was going through upheavals. A reset was announced, marking the sudden and extreme termination of all players in the near future. As the date came closer, a new Zola competition was proposed - the Single Nation Challenge Federation (choo choo).

In my vast and possibly foolish sense of fairness, I decreed it would be unfair to enter the Cipolle, as I'd been working on the squad identity for a number of seasons - everyone else would be cobbling a team together in a hurry. So, out went the Italians (a tearful moment), in came some money, out went some money, in came a bunch of Russians.

Despite some early promise and briefly lifting the team reputation to an all time high, the experiment was ultimately undone by a complete lack of available Russian defenders and, for the final part of the GW life (a sadly curtained final season), and embryonic German theme was adopted, one that is now integral to the reborn Onions!
