I need help with my memory!!!

I have been playing Football Manager/Championship Manager for as long as I can remember and the managment type of game is my all time favourite sort. However, I was thinking earlier of the name of the very first managment game I ever played and I cannot remember the name of it, so I was wondering if anybody could help.

From what I can remember, you could only start in the bottom division and I often started as Gateshead because they had the most money and best players or Telford United. A certain player who's surname was Greenwood, seems to pop into my head alot although for being a really good player. The match screen had a scoreboard on it and it used text commentry. I can't remember the year or anything else about it and was wondering if anyone could shed some light.

One more thing I remember getting really upset and moaning to my dad when Sheff Wed knocked me out of the FA Cup in the 3rd round after I was winning 1-0 (now I just moan to my mates/wife/cat/anybody who cares to listen). Oh and I'm pretty sure it was in the day when the top flight of English football was known as Division 1.

I remember playing a footie management game years ago on the bbc micro I think it was (god i'm old ). Oddly enough it was also called 'Football Manager".

sounds like original Premier Manager, i had it on Acorn in early 90's spent hours on it, great game, was very easy to win with Wycombe in Conf + Div 3.

I used to play it on my dad's Atari 400. I wonder how many hours I have wasted (although that is probably the wrong word) on Football Management sims over the years? I'm only 26 now and I have realised that I have spent over half of my life playing Football Management sims.

tho i used to play on acorn was multi-format, defo sounds like premier manager, i'm 24 now and remember playing this from as early as 10!

I have no idea what it is, as if it was in the 80's I wasn't even born yet, but if it was in about '97 or about there, was Ali Dia in the game? Just wondering cos it'd be good to see how he'd do.

Premier Manager came out in 1992, followed Premier Manager 2 in 1993 and finally Premier Manager in 1994 it was published by Gremlin Graphics which became Gremlin Interactive. Here is a link to the 3 games.

Just found this on Wiki

Premier Manager was class.

Signing 16 year old Craig Hignett from Crewe for yer Wycombe outfit was also the way forward.

I do remember Premier Manager 2 from 1993 (from the screen shot provided by The Hornet), although the game I'm on about was definatley before that, quite possibly Premier Manager from 1992.

Premier Manager 3, I now recall you could build your stadium up and set ticket prices and whether or not you had standing or seating or deluxe seating.

No it was definitely called football manager. Here's an article about it.
