In the 80's, I watched my late father play Football Manager on the C64. He was eternally glued to the game almost every waking hour. I only ever got to play it now and again. Now I'm the same age as he was back then, I see why he was addicted. Faithfully recreated, the masterpiece that launched an entire genre is as good as ever! Despite playing more complex games through the years, most have never been this good! Its quick-fire simplicity and one more game loop is impossible to put down!

Purchased this on my Spectrum, then my C64, my iPad, and now, on my Android phone. This is, without a doubt, one of the GREATEST GAMES ever written, and has spawned an entire industry by itself. No ads, no distractions, no excel sheets to manage your players, just the pure choice of balancing player skill and fitness levels. Simple. Effective. Astoundingly addictive. I have only two small gripes with the game when playing on a phone. The players are barely visible. Perhaps they are too small. The other is more of a nostalgia thing. 8-bit chunky fonts please! Other than these small (personal) options, there is nothing to add. Superb.

8 bit fonts eh! Hmmm. Thank you so much for your comments Chris. I am very happy I kept the feel and gameplay of my original. It was fun writing it too.

Downloaded to pass the time on a long coach journey but also to revive memories of the mid 80's on my ZX Spectrum playing this fantatstic game. Nothing has changed too much, easy to pick up and play and hasn't sacrificed any of the simplicity which made it the game it was all those years ago. Well played Mr Toms! Right, back to it now for me - 3 seasons in and 2 promotions later- I'm just one promotion away from the big time! 😉

Yep. A key thing was to maintain that straightforward gameplay that provides pace and fun. Thanks!
