Early Life[]
TBC
Beercelona[]
Squibbs made his Beercelona debut as a defender in the team's first game against Sangre Azteca. Since then he has played outfield a few times but is usually deployed as a keeper. He is good with both feet and has an impressive throw that allows the team to shift from defense to attack very quickly.
Like a fine wine he has gotten better and better as time has gone on. In the fifth season he won the team points virtually sindle-handedly with his performances, winning not only the Beercelona Player of the Year award but also the League's Best Goalkeeper Award. This was in no-small part due to the league rules allowing him to come out of his area to take part in active play more. Though a huge fan of Bodo Ilgner, it is another german Keeper, the sweeper-keeper Manuel Neur that he is more often compared to.
