My uncle bought me a Harry Howell this past Christmas, and I immediately dug into his background/story.
My fiancee actually spent hours the other day researching 10 different players, looking for ones with cool stories to buy me. She knows I like players with stories, and with my collection being comparatively small to many, it helps me stay focused and on track.
