In Fight Club, shortly after his condo is burned to the ground, Ed NortonвЂ™s character says: вЂњWhen you buy furniture, you tell yourself, thatвЂ™s it. In this alternate reality, heвЂ™s right up there with PelГ©, Maradona and Moukoko. In real life he played 18 times for Norway, and had a spell in the Bundesliga with Nuremburg. Eight out out 10 cats said theyвЂ™d stared quizzically at their owner as he/she sang a song about Larsen to themselves at 2.38am on a Saturday morning. The pick of those bargains, for many, was Tommy Svindal Larsen, an absolute beast in the 1997-98 version who could be poached from Stabaek for a few coppers and a Werthers Original: an M C who was master of a lot more than ceremonies. The Scandinavian market was the H&M of Champo Manager: the place where you could pick up umpteen supercool bargains for next to nothing, while most of the punters were ostentatiously purchasing similar quality stuff for thrice the price over the road. If you canвЂ™t play this fictitious, contrived and brilliantly unrealistic game honestly, then whatвЂ™s the point of anything? 4) Tommy Svindal Larsen (M LC)

To do this, however, you usually needed to have him man-marking the opposition goalkeeper, an ultra-successful but entirely unrealistic tactic which, without question, is the most tragic cheat employed by anyone ever. Available for Dinamo Minsk for a pittance on the 2001-02 version вЂ“ although not in England, because he couldnвЂ™t get a work permit at the start of the game вЂ“ Tsigalko went on the sort of preposterous scoring runs whose conclusion you simply couldnвЂ™t wait until the morning to see.ДЇor some he even managed 100 goals in a season, which gave a whole new meaning to the notion of boys in darkened rooms getting off on the Maxim Hot 100. Maxim Tsigalko was the sort of man who made you do that. There are few more chastening experiences in the mezzanine hours than realising youвЂ™re still playing Champo and youвЂ™re up for work in, ooh, 12 minutes. Some internet forums suggest he was sacked as a result but, due to the credit crunch, the Guardian can no longer afford to fly us to Portugal to investigate, so we canвЂ™t be sure.

Then, for the 2001-02, a programmer called TГі Madeira decided to illicitly slip himself into the game as an almost peerless goalscorer (available on a free at the start, too). Reports that Graeme Souness tried to sign them to play alongside Ali Dia at Southampton three seasons later, after a tip off from Roy Race, are unconfirmed. ThatвЂ™s what Mark Collis and Ferrah Orosco, who worked on the game, did in the 1993-94 end-of-season edition: both were put straight into lowly CambridgeвЂ™s team as fully fledged England internationals. Wish fulfilment comes in many forms вЂ“ most of them while youвЂ™re asleep and therefore not awake and being you вЂ“ and the chance to make oneself a star of English football was always likely to prove irresistible for the geekier end of the fraternity. Read more 2) Mark Collis & Ferrah Orosco (AM C & D RC) ItвЂ™s one thing to call your partner by the wrong name during boudoir funtime, quite another to call them вЂTontonвЂ™. Champo Manager has, of course, been cited in more than 35 divorce cases. His success and reliability took man-love to new, twisted levels of absurdity. Even now he has a Facebook appreciation group: men whose upper lips remain defiantly stiff at funerals go a big rubbery one when they remember the time he banged in two in the last four minutes to overturn a 1-2 deficit at home to Grimsby in the Champions League semi-final of 2014-15.

At that stage he was a promising youngster at Derby, apparently courted by Juventus among others, and lent an exotic bent by the seven syllables of that majestic name and his Swedish/Ghanaian background.ДЄvailable for around ВЈ500,000 from Derby вЂ“ who didnвЂ™t even play him in the first team вЂ“ he gobbled up goals and assists like a powered-up Pac-Man, and was absolutely devastating in the hole behind a lone striker. That said, not everyone could spell it: Moukoko, who now plays in the Swedish lower leagues, was actually spelt Mokouko on the 2000-01 version. Anyway, itвЂ™s a fact that more thirtysomethings remember the name of Tonton Zola Moukoko than the name of the bloke who sat next to them at school. The Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of A Crisps.
