Character Information

Anton Lubchenko was a football player for Springfield University.
History
He was at the homecoming for Springfield University, the college that Homer and Marge attended. Despite Dean Peterson mentioning that he was an "All-American" football player, Lubchenko implies in his greeting that he was from Russia before being cut off by Peterson. Later, Homer injured him with a float that he made and his leg was damaged. Bart, who was supposedly a faith healer, 'healed' him and he scored the winning shot for Springfield U. His shot was not going to make it but then his leg came off and hit the ball through the bars of the goal. His leg was carried off, celebrated as a hero, while Lubchenko was taken in an ambulance. Apparently he'd been enrolled in the college solely to play football. Dr. Hibbert tried to calm him down when his leg was injured by saying he could fall back on his major, only to find out to his horror that it was for communications, Which Anton said was actually a fake.
The 1999 Big Game was his last college football game before the Springfield Atoms picked him in round 1 of the 2000 NFL Draft. Bart Simpson was picked in round 2. He won the Super Bowl in 2011 becoming the first Eastern European captain of a winning Super Bowl team.
