HUP Editors
Ernst-Jan Bracké
Ernst-Jan Bracké is a former original Flaming Wodkas FC player who has been Club President of the Wodkas during his post-retirement years, but is more famously known as the face of RFC-TV and later GL-TV. Ernst-Jan is actual royalty back home in Africa, and to be fair, he is the King of GL-TV here in our studios. The straight talking sensible host who has an unending love for football and all things HTUM.
Alin Badiu
Alin is also a former original Flaming Wodkas FC player who went on to a popular career as the face of HTU Youth League predictions as part of the HU Press team.
​
Although Alin has had an 'interesting' and borderline 'controversial' past as a presenter, his Gallic flair and endearing personality means he is an ongoing favourite with our viewers.
Guest Bloggers
Hubert 'Polski-Speed' Krosnowski (actually Andrzej Piaskowy): was a key part of the Flaming Wodkas FC HTUM Federation tribute team. This team was unique in the world of Hattrick football at the time, as the players deliberately changed their names and appearance to emulate well-known HTU Fed team owners.
​
Hubert was a quick winger who was sold to SC Trance for 6.6 million zlotys in July 2016, and went on to enjoy success at his new club transferring for more than double that amount again when he joined SV Rot Weiss Wilhelmsburg in September 2020. Now a part of the Wodkas Hall of Fame and as part of his role as Sales Director, he is also a tour guide at the new Golden League Museum, near Raszków.
Hyungwu Park: A legendary figure at AS Uijeongbu 07, Hyungwu Park is known for his precision free-kicks, often compared to Gallagher smashing watermelons – bold, unrelenting, and impossible to ignore. Park joined the Hall of Fame at 34 after a stellar career spanning 191 matches, 61 goals, and three hat-tricks.
​
Now a respected sports journalist, Park's insights captivate readers with his unparalleled knowledge of the game and his knack for storytelling. Whether analysing tactics or sharing anecdotes from his playing days, Park brings the same passion to his writing as he did to the pitch. Currently, he juggles his journalistic pursuits with his role as a mentor to emerging football talent in Uijeongbu.
Pierpaolo Scavo: Pierpaolo Scavo brings a wealth of experience and passion to his role as Guest Editing Chief of the HU Press. Known for his sharp mind on and off the pitch, Scavo enjoyed a storied football career, scoring 62 goals and recording six hat-tricks across multiple clubs, including a pivotal stint at MS Odense, where he became the first player to enter the club's Hall of Fame. After hanging up his boots in 2010, Scavo transitioned seamlessly into leadership roles, serving as MS Odense's President and Editor for HattrickUnited Press. Today, Scavo’s meticulous editing and storytelling expertise are the driving force behind the HU Press, ensuring every article resonates with readers across the HTU community. His legacy as both a player and editor continues to inspire a generation of writers and football enthusiasts alike.
Toke Lundager: Known for his deep ties to MS Odense, Toke Lundager is a name that resonates strongly with the club's rich history. An original member of the squad's rebirth in 2008, Lundager's career saw him score 64 goals and notch two hat-tricks across 84 matches. His journey came full circle when he returned to MS Odense for his final four seasons, cementing his legacy as a Hall of Fame inductee at the age of 36.
Post-retirement, Lundager transitioned seamlessly into journalism, joining forces with Pierpaolo Scavo at the HU Press. As Assistant Blog Editor, he brings his on-pitch precision to the written word, crafting compelling narratives that blend football analysis with heartfelt storytelling. Whether working behind the scenes or penning his own articles, Lundager ensures every piece upholds the standards of excellence that define both MS Odense and the HTU community.
