Orlando_Trustful Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 A classic. I still have 97/98 on my laptop and play it occasionally especially when traveling internationally (pre COVID).

Can see a decent enough first team there - with Di Canio, Carbone and Alexanderson representing some actual quality - but then there’s absolutely nothing. Think you could look at Man Utd and say the same thing in the 1990s. Clubs didn't carry anything like the ridiculously huge squads they do today.

owlinexile Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) I seem to remember one CM around that time had Peterborough United with half a dozen brilliant youngsters that you could immediately poach for peanuts. We subsequently bought a couple of them in real life and they were poo .. Edited September 16, 2021 by owlinexile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leaping Lannys Perm Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Knew about Grobbelaar being on our books. But somehow my brain seems to have wiped all memory of Earl Barrett being at the club. I must have seen him play but I don't remember it at all.

Leaping Lannys Perm Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Remember having on version from when Neil Lennon and Danny Murphy were both still at Crewe. Used to sign them in every save and they always did well. Clearly the designers already knew they had Prem potential when they made that game that year.

Amazing how a screenshot from a game like that can provide such a window into the past in many ways.. and not just because I played way too much of that game back in the day..

The scouting network the developers of these games have and use is incredible. Pretty sure quite a few clubs have a real life scouting partnership with them.. seem to recall Everton making a big deal of it a few years back. I used to play these games a ton. I can remember signing loads of players as 17/18 year olds on these games who have since retired as legends for club and country in real life.

flo Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Messi will be about 10 years old. Spend everything to get him he will be worth a lot in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmigo Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Bruce was on the bench in the game at home to Derby, where I believe Nigel Clough also played for us. we lost 5-2, Paolo Wanchope absolutely tore us to pieces. Blondeau eventually gave up trying to tackle him, and just got himself a red card, he looked pleased to walk off the pitch. Wanchope looked the worlds best striker that night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played it too much as well. Even to the extent where I told the lady who would become the current Mrs B (we were still courting in them days) that I was busy and couldn't meet up with her.... She still ended up marrying me despite my appalling attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a great goalkeeper for Liverpool but think the match fixing allegations make him a person I would have little time for. I don't think anything in particular was proven but plenty of evidence he was up to no good. A stain on our game. Used to read the football results - on Friday night.

elyowl1 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Loved that game, Guy Branston, Graham Lee and Darren Purse as my 3 first choice centre backs in 532 formation, with Richie Wellens and Dean Keates in the middle and a guy called James Flood from Stockport County upfront, world beaters the lot of them. Sadly was rather dissapointed with tje first 3 when the finally did turn up at Hillsborough 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
