Jugster Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 So, has anyone any tales of strange, unlikely or entertaining things that have happened in their games? I've had the chance to witness Wayne Rooney be appointed England manager. I signed comedy name of the year, Julian Bender, from.... Young Boys. Spectacular fall from grace - Coventry City now in the Blue Square North. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
walsh06 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I had FC united of Manchester beat Manchester city in the FA cup 4th round and then lose to Manchester United in the Semi final. Of course I was managing them. They were still only a league 2 team at the time though. Frank Lampard was named manager of the year in the Championship Swansea got relegated from premiership, championship and league 1 in 3 straight seasons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebugel Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I'm only in season 6 and Leicester city are 18th in the blue square premier and Stevenage are 3rd in the championship with 6 games remaining(I've managed neither club). That's what I like about the latest versions, the past versions always had the same teams yoyo-ing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jugster Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 It's interesting to see what really small clubs get promoted into the Blue Square North and South from whatever pool they are drawn from. I was astonished when North Ferriby United got into the BSN. North Ferriby is a crappy, large village over the river Humber from me. Mind you they only lasted a year before sinking into anonymity again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enthon Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Deportivo La Coruna is looking for a new manager. As I checked the team roster I realized why: There was just one player on it??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Ferriby is a crappy, large village over the river Humber from me. Mind you they only lasted a year before sinking into anonymity again. I wouldn't say it was that unfeasible, they've come pretty close to being promoted into the BSN in real life a couple of times in recent years!

I didn't even know they had a football team so it was a real surprise when they were promoted. I love checking to see what obscure teams suddenly appear. Meanwhile, FC United of Manchester are currently storming through the leagues in my game. They are into League 1 - without the benefit of a human manager.

SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted January 20, 2012 SI Staff Share Posted January 20, 2012 Deportivo La Coruna is looking for a new manager. As I checked the team roster I realized why: There was just one player on it??? I presume they are in an inactive league? - if so that will be the reason (clubs in inactive leagues frequently will have only a sub-set of their squad as real-players but the level of performance will be balanced by the grey players at the club being realistic for their stature).

jalapic Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 FC United of Manchester are also storming through the lower leagues in my games. I had a regen I was interested in called "Martin Martin". It made me think about trying to get a whole team of them, along the lines of "Neville Neville" etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
westyorksnffc Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Some great player names when you go Portugese or Brazilian, Penafiel of Portugal have got a player called 'Corona', there's a couple of other Portugese players called 'China', others called 'Kikas' and '*****' one called 'Billy', which reminds me of a time when Forest weren't the laughing stock of English football - roughly about 8 months ago, and the best one of all - 'Tarzan' a real player at a Portugese semi-pro club called Benfica C.Branco.
