CM 99-00, Willie Howie was a class act, CM 01-02, Kim Kallstrom, To Madeira, Julius Agahowa , Stefan Selakovic, all contributed big time to some memorable achievements in my CM career with multiple clubs. CM 01-02 was a great game and frighteningly addictive.
I remember all of those players, Another machine was Demis Nikolaidis, Youssef Hersi was another I developed into a fine player but there were so many unsung heroes, teddy lucic, Frederik risp, Theo lucius for example. Great days
@@SP.74 if you remember, another bargain signing from Sweden was Antonsson (if i remember correctly from IFK). The funny thing is that Panathinaikos, at that transfer window, was looking to sign Risp and Farnerud...
Yes I remember Mikael Antonsson, a solid pro and on a limited budget, if you could secure him, Risp, lucic and West as your defence backed up by Chiotis in goal or the young Portuguese lad Hugo pinhiero, kerr in midfield and To Madeira up front you were basically cooking with gas..,
In CM 01/02, there was a CB calle Carl Laurie, who played for Hythe. I used to sign him every game. He was great. Another CB was Tommy Jonsson and Ivan Hurtado. Other players I remember were Stefan Selakovic, Hannu Tihinen, Carlos Pavon, Mark Bridge-Wilkinson, Daniel Amokachi, and a very young Cristiano Ronaldo.
Guarin was known since CM0304. There are rumors that Porto found him through the game. In fact, in CM0304 almost all the squad in Envigado (the team Guarin started), was under 23 with potential either -1 or -2.
Had a generated player called Chris Kidd, paid £10k as my winger got injured. He could play on both wings and his stats were based on Ryan Giggs (also Welsh). Scored a hat trick on his debut and within a season was the best player in the world. Played pretty much daily with mates. Great times.
In cm0102 Martins italian/Nigerian 16 yo on a free. 6 years contract for 65 quid a week. By the time I was in premier league from conference, he already had 100 goals scored. Every single save, without a fail.
John O'Flynn was also a great pick the had the pace 20 and finishing 20 just like Maxim Tsigalko while still16 years old he was playing for Peterborough in 2001/2 he was the next Micheal Owen in the game
Have you done anything on stephan ishizaki, julius aghahowa or a young Greek (I’ve only seen appear in some versions of the game) called georgis(?) papadopolous?
Phillip Mulryn fro the Man Utd youth team was better than Beckham for few releases of the game, absolute beast of a bargain MRC while the mythos of their youth academy held around the beginning of the millenium.
Man, i will always remember Petre. Always bought cheap (or free), playing him between half a season or 3/4 of one, him getting disgruntled and wanting to leave, selling him for a huge profit and a future percentage 😄
Taribo West on a free in 01/02 was a cheat code. 😂
I restarted several new games after forgetting to sign him and a bigger club going in for him! 😂
Taribo West......You've just blown my 42yr old mind ....The memories of this game are wonderful. Thanks for reminding me👌💪👍😁
Swedish under 21’s as well
Signed him every game.
I remember turning Freddy Adu into one of the greatest players football had ever seen!
Played him up front with Henry at 14 years old in my Arsenal save 😂
Alex Aguinaga, Mads Jorgensen, and Kennedy Bakircioglu were also some class players in CM
Which version of Bakircioglu? The CM0102 or the CM0304? Because the second was cheap (free on December) but not consistent.
Kennedy Bakircioglu
Ibrahima bakayoko, Taribo west, Tommy svindal Larsen, Freddy adu were all top quality.
Quick edit I forgot Marc emmers and Benedict vilikazi.
CM?? Up north it was always Champ Man
We used to call it Champ or Champignon, which is French for mushroom 🍄🟫 😅
We called it Champ Man down south too
@@stevechapman7090 I once had Steve Ogrizovic age 43 in goal. Total penalty saving monster 😝

CM0102 had the crazy classes of Swedes and Greeks at the start. Ishizaki, Lunden, Bakircioglu, a RB from AIK...
I remember all of those players, Another machine was Demis Nikolaidis, Youssef Hersi was another I developed into a fine player but there were so many unsung heroes, teddy lucic, Frederik risp, Theo lucius for example. Great days

Thanks for this! Dele Adebola, Chris Jackson, Chris Bart-Williams, Richard Hall, Nii Lamptey and Craig Hignett from 93/94 were among my favourites

Who remembers tijani babangida 9/10 every game cm03/04
20 Dribbling 😮💨
I remember fondly Petr Prospar in CM 97/98.
Maxim Tsigalko ! That’s a name I never heard in decades. Goddam goal machine in my game
Dale Watkins was insane, scored 55 goals in a season for me at Chelsea, and I bought him for 30k. Dean Keates was also insane in the midfield
Dale Watkins for me was the one bagged am insane amount of goals on every save
03/04 has always been my favourite, still play it now 😅 So many great players on that one!
Tommy Smith in the Attacking Midfield role on 01/02 was amazing.
In the early 90s version of Champ Man, Chris Bart-Williams ALWAYS became a mega star. Him playing as an AM behind Cantona 👌🏻
Andrey Pereplotkin and jay lucas for Southampton were regular goalscorers and Darren Kenton was insanely good at right back
They were either from FM2005 or FM2007, Lebohang Mokoena, Freddy Guarin, Sherman Cardenas, Nicolas Milan, Vincent Enyeama
Guarin was insane. He'd score one or two 35 yarders every game.... With a frequent red card thrown in too.

Samba was 20 when he was playing under 16’s
Thanks A.I Terry Butcher
Craig Lindfield the Liverpool wonder kid
Justin Georcelin 😐 Christ there is name I’ve not heard in decades
I always signed Matty Blinkhorn and Freddy Adu
John O'Flynn was also a great pick the had the pace 20 and finishing 20 just like Maxim Tsigalko while still16 years old he was playing for Peterborough in 2001/2 he was the next Micheal Owen in the game
If you want CM4, Anatoli Todorov and (possibly) Marcus Kelly
Have you done anything on stephan ishizaki, julius aghahowa or a young Greek (I’ve only seen appear in some versions of the game) called georgis(?) papadopolous?
Nothing yet, this was our first video on the series.
@Retro-Football-Club oh cool, I must’ve saw a similar video on another channel. It’d be great to see more CM vids, especially on the legendary 01/02!
Alex meechan and bruno teixeira from forest green rovers in 06 were ridiculously good for pennies
There's only one Willie Howie, legend.
Antoine Zahra, a Maltese winger, would always sign him in every play through.
Anyone remember rungratsamme
From Thailand?
Phillip Mulryn fro the Man Utd youth team was better than Beckham for few releases of the game, absolute beast of a bargain MRC while the mythos of their youth academy held around the beginning of the millenium.
From that same team and era..... Mads Timm and Bojan Djordjic 👌👌👌
Supat rungratsamee
Adam Locke, Jason Peake, Nathan Lowndes, Peter Thorne, Wayne Allison...from the 95/96 game. Goal machines.
Other Cm/fm gems
Gk Vincent Enyeama
DF Zander Diamond
MF Jan Kristensen
MF Arnold Bruggink
Best strike pairing I had was Rowan vine and lloyd opara. 60+goals between them in 1premier league season
A little too much emphasis on the 01/02 game. 96/97, 97/98 and CM3 are filled with obscure gems.
Plenty more in the pipeline
Nii Lamptey for me Clive
Sponsor afc wimbledon for 25 years
Seth Johnson, Kelvin Street!
Where's Ai Alan? 😢
Love seeing the love for our Al. Having some scripting gremlins with him just recently. May have to give this guy a name in the meantime 😉
@Retro-Football-Club
Hopefully AI Alan makes a swift return 🫡
@Retro-Football-Clubcoked-up Chris? He speaks a bit fast 😂
@Retro-Football-ClubAidan sounds better 😂
Southampton youth player can not recommend his first name but surname was precky defo not Robert presanicky but a midfield 😊
Fabio Paim
Scott Huckerby was my go to on cm 01/02
forgot florentin petre and bobby zamora
Man, i will always remember Petre. Always bought cheap (or free), playing him between half a season or 3/4 of one, him getting disgruntled and wanting to leave, selling him for a huge profit and a future percentage 😄
Marco Piovanelli, CM Italia
Petre Bucharest 1m or less 99-00 saviola too
Freddy Adu 😊
looks like Samba peaked at 16 or was he 24
Youssef hersi, tieme klompe
Anyone come across Dobrovsky? Pretty much all stats 20 with a workrate of 1. Tried to buy multiple times but could never get him.
Once signed a regen called Stephen eggnburger man he was unstoppable left everything in the dust if only he was real l.o
L😅😅😅
F Linder
Goal scoring sensation but not a real life player
Heidenstrom. Tomlinson. Main waring. Pat Scully
Ah CM2. Also many a Partick Thistle player Martin Lauchin being 1.
Barry Venison, a good free transfer for lower league teams 👍
@@markwalker2627 Billy MacDonald, and all the young Partick strikers are guaranteed 90+ Scotland caps if playing at a decent club
@sensational_cellar8606 yeah him Pat Scully(DC) also released ex Man Utd youngsters Andrew Duncan(DC) and Phil Wittham(DL), that's your back 4 sorted.
love this !!!
