Michael Read is a defender and is well known for his hand in spreading [[Buce]] to the earlier members of the [[Front Team]]. Off the field, he is known for being one of the most controversial Buce players of his time.

====History====
Read was introduced to Buce in 2008, and then spent his time unifying enough players in his group to create [[the Front Team]]. After the [[2008 Buce League]], Read pushed along with the organisation of the [[2009 Buce League]], and helped form two teams from his former Front team; [[The Gritz]] and [[The Hawks]]. Read was captain of the latter.

In what was a slow start, Read's Hawks fought throughout the competition to make it into the Grand Final against [[The Avalanches]]. Despite a thrilling [[Double Buce]] by his supporting teammate [[Andrew Shakespeare]], The Hawks fell to the Avalanches.

Soon after the loss, Read was arrested in Amsterdam, where, pending extradition, he waited for 6 months, missing the [[2009 Winter Buce League]], despite his team playing on under [[Nick Allan]]'s wing. Read made his return to Buce for the [[2010 Buce League]] as reinstated captain of The Hawks. He is expected to captain again during the [[2011 Buce League]], after the cancellation of the [[2010W|2010 Winter League]].

Michael Read was the most controversial player of his time, noted for his distinctively racist comments, high level of drug/alcohol abuse, abusing his teammates (including stealing their wages) and even engaging in slavery at his villa in Hawaii.
