Sampa Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Jason Manford's great. Anyone see his David Blaine joke? "And for my next stunt... I will put a fruit pastille in my mouth, and I won't chew..." And his liverpool accent on James Bond. Sean Lock's better though... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Miles Jacobson Posted November 13, 2008 SI Staff Share Posted November 13, 2008 Jason had Football Manager comedy in his set at the Edinburgh festival last year - I was fortunate enough to go up and see the show, and he's a very, very funny man. He talks about the game quite a lot in the press, which we are very grateful for! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come in from work Etc so....... no he worked on a building site. he had a suit in his wardrobe from his brothers wedding the year before. his wife drew the line at bringing him a tray of half time oranges though. when he won he danced around the living room with a vase with blue laces tied to it whilst playing queens 'we are the champions'.

The guy that used to wear a suit was from an old thread. The question someone asked was do you do anything special when your team gets to a cup final. To which one person admitted he used to put his suit one and hence the story has ended FM folklore. In terms of game I wonder how many famous people (well ok people that have been on TV then) have played it. Also I have always wondered if any of the current football managers play it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
champlodge Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Good point, alot of players play it when they can but do the managers? also a question for SI - Have you tried to get any managers on board to adertise the game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not really our style - hence the old "pack talent" video, which you can see over at YouTube. We did try it last year, with Ramos for the Spanish release.

quiquiloko Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Ok this just maked me laugh. I go on to the forms and see loads of topics say Miles please help I can't get x to work etc etc. Then I find he's having a chat about who was on 8 out of 10 cats. I do understand that he and all others from SI and Sega are doing a great job and of course are helping everyone with the new release. Just happened to be the first post I looked on and made me laugh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlayerX Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Manford tries far too hard to be Peter Kay with very little success, it's pitiful really. I totally agree, he does fail miserably... because Manford is actually funny. He actually reminds me of Seth McFarlane, but an English version. I wonder if Jason will create an animated series.
