It will be three years in January since I uninstalled Football Manager and not a day goes by without me thinking about my trademark 3-1-4-2 formation or skimming the lower league round-ups in the papers with an eye for a bargain. More addictive than crack.

By the way, my best players were Kim Kallstrom and To Madiera (the latter apparently being one of the game’s researchers and not a real player at all), and Ryan Giggs becomes a pretty decent manager by the 2014-15 season
