In more recent years, my success has mostly been on the mobile version of the game. On FM12 I took Rotherham from League Two to Europe, and two years later Bristol Rovers up to the top and VfL Bochum back into the Bundesliga, both thanks to the goals of Quentin Ngakoutou. One year, I even managed to make Emmanuel Eboue win the coveted ‘Premier League Signing Of The Season’ award (I didn’t even know that was a thing). I remember how Lee Cattermole patrolled the midfield whilst Diego Costa and Alex Teixeira produced the goods up front. Upon winning the 2014 World Cup with England, I channeled my inner Sam Allardyce and turned Bolton Wanderers from a yo-yo club into a European mainstay. The first time I really got into a save, however, was on FM08. This was my go-to game for the next few years before being bought CM5. I had many different managerial careers on this, preferring to take over the big clubs with lots of money. My first encounter with it was as a nine year old when my dad introduced me to CM01/02 as he allowed me to take over a save he had with Celtic somewhere in the mid-2020s. Football Manager, and its predecessor Championship Manager, has been a part of my life for almost as long as I can remember.
