Man behind the facemask – Zach Whitehead

07.02.2022, 13:39

Tällä viikolla Man Behind the Facemask sarjassa esiintyy mies rapakon takaa. Zach Whiteheadin viime kausi päättyi ennen aikojaan ikävän alaraajavamman takia, mutta nyt mies on takaisin iskussa ja valmiina taistelemaan Vaahteraliigan voitosta. Muutaman ottelun näyttöjen ja etenkin valloittavan persoonan ansiosta Whitehead oli luonnollinen valinta johtamaan Crocodiles hyökkäystä myös kaudella 2022.
