"[He] scored seven goals, helping to propel the Magpies to a 260-40 win and moving them up into second place in the league."

Angus Campbell is a Chaser for the Montrose Magpies Quidditch team in the 1990s.
Hired as the replacement Chaser (after the manager of the Magpies fired Alasdair Maddock), Campbell scored seven goals against the Caerphilly Catapults in his first game for the team. Who needs that Mugglemanic Maddock anyway? (DP3)

Campbell is a Gaelic surname deriving from cam béul meaning "wry or crooked mouth". It may also derive from Latin de bello campo meaning "of the beautiful field" (Internet Surname Database).
