You can manually go through and edit all the news stories to fix the problem, but I don't know how you can edit that player's stats to give him credit for the award.

Apparently it's a tough bug for Markus to track down. No one's sure what causes it. Sometimes you see garbled characters like that, sometimes you see no words at all, sometimes a player wins an award but he's listed as being on the wrong team... it's a mess.

But keep on playing - with the exception of that award, everything should be fine.
Thanks. That's good to know. All these years of OOTP and this is the first time I've seen it.
