- Nostalgia to the MAX
Wonderful pod, I’ve shared it with pretty much all my childhood friends and it’s brought back so many fond memories.
As a man in his 40’s that is still playing a save from FM19 which was stated during the pandemic, this is the first time I’ve been tempted to ditch it in favour of a new save and going back to the old Champ Man.
Thankyou so much for a great podcast.

Let’s be frank, this show is exactly why podcasts exist. A subject so spectacularly niche that it simply couldn’t be commissioned elsewhere, but for those of us who understand the sweet addiction of CM97/98 this is essential listening.
UP THE O’s!!

The chat is funny, nostalgic and dangerously good at making you think you still have time for ‘one more game’. It’s got me reminiscing about playing Bakayoko in a 10 position, with Tommy Svindel Larsen bossing the midfield behind him!
A great listen and absolute must for any CM fan (although I accept no responsibility for any sudden u... more
