Championship Manager

The Former BluesinBC · Oct 14, 2006

I am not sure if this belongs in this forum, but thought it might amuse a few of you. I am still playing a game of CM (01/02 version) that I started about four years ago. I haven't looked at it for a while, as it was just getting too easy.

Starting with the actual Blues team of 2001 (one of the worst teams in the game according to the software writers), we reached the Premiership in four seasons. (Two seasons in the Championship). We won our first Championship three years later and have retained it 18 times. We have won 10 Champions' League titles and 8 FA Cups. Using a strategy of picking up former megastars in the twilight of their careers and giving them opportunities on the coaching staff, the following players have pulled on the Blue shirt:

David Beckham
Raul
Walter Samuel
Alessandro del Piero
Wayne Rooney
Roberto Carlos
Jose Antonio Reyes (last real life player still in the team)

The leading Blues scorer (overtaking the great Roy Hollis) is now Jonny Allan, who scored over 400 goals. I believe he is actually turning out for Northwich Victoria these days. Tilly, go and have a look at him.

Probably in the wrong forum but I too had a game where Johnny Allan scored for fun. Him and Jamie McGowan (formerly of third Plymouth) set all manner of records for England with nationalised Brazillian Fabio Henrique Moedim.

Good times. Shame my comp doesn't run any of the newer ones!!

That is actually quite scary you know. Head over to the Pub for the official FM/CM thread, and you'll see the similarities between your tenure and mine.
