Be on the ball with this game-changing footy favourite

Alright, mate, how’s it going?

Believe it or not, I haven’t always been football mad. But then FIFA: Road to World Cup 98 came out. FIFA inevitably led to Football Manager. And that’s where I started getting properly hooked.

Now I’m a football club owner who’s played to 20,000 people at Wembley Stadium and travelled the world with my team, Hashtag United. And the best bit of all? I’m not even that good.

So, how on earth did this happen? How did someone who spent his life playing computer games and making YouTube videos pull it off?

I’m hardly sure myself, but here’s my attempt to tell the story.
