New author and self-confessed Championship Manager addict Chris Darwen has released his first book, a parody of Mansfield Town FC’s 99/00 season using the legendary computer game, Championship Manager, to create the narrative. Championship Manager was the bestselling football management computer game ever written and this week, by coincidence, celebrated the 22. Looking forward to a sequel!

In January, Colombia’s Radamel Falcao suffered anterior cruciate ligament damage while playing for Monaco in the French Cup and despite undergoing surgery; the 28-year-old lost his battle against time to be fit for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

https://bewareflyingfootballs.wordpress.com/2015/08/06/transfer-tales-kevin-doyle-and-shane-long-reading
Transfer tales: Kevin Doyle and Shane Long Reading. The 2006/7 season saw Reading confound critics to earn an 8th place finish.
