Champ Man 01/02 Turns 20 Today
Champmanpng

Now we feel very old.

Championship Manager 01/02 turns 20-years-old today and we've suddenly been thrown right back to our childhood. This was one hell of a game. One of the greatest.

We're taking a quick look some of the 'cheat players' we all knew and loved...

Portugal's own, To Madeira. The 22-year-old striker was available at the start of each save for a small fee and would score you goals at whatever level he played at.

We also fondly remember Maxim Tsigalko, Kennedy Bakircioglu, Mark Kerr, Ibrahim Said, Isaac Okoronkwo, Franco Costanzo and of course, Cherno Samba.
