Chucks Nwoko, Mifsud and another one I forget the name of just now.Stefan GiglioSo of the wonderkids from Champ Man have actually turned out decent players and lived up to their amazing stats - Kim Kallstrom, Esteban Cambiasso, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Samuel Eto'o, Andreas Isaksson, Sharbel Touma etcAlthough i do remember Jamie Langfield being good in one of the games...

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 What was great about 97/98 was that Maradona was still in it. Mind, he was 37, but it meant you only had to wait a year for his regen to appear [/champ man geek]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorge Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Willie Howie of Partick ThistleScorge? Update? Howie now captains Glenafton in the juniors (manager - Mr G. Collins, funnily enough), was let go because he wasn't even getting a game ahead of the shit DC was putting out at the time. Shame.....

Lemonade Posted April 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 (Although that reminds me, Phil Maguire was also supposed to be a future Scotland international, Celtic were preparing a 1.5 million bid etc, now he's a washed up wife beater who's also about to be relegated.)

Lemonade Posted April 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Sonny Pike!Fuck yeah whatever happened to that guy? I've got an old Fantasy Football League video that he's in when he's just signed for Ajax and he said he got offers from Chelsea, Man U, Arsenal et al, but chose Ajax, he was like 11 at the time, so he should be in his prime about now at...... where is he then?Actually I just found out:Whatever happened to Sonny Pike? | Special Reports | Guardian Unlimited FootballSonny - the nephew of ex-Tottenham striker Mark Falco - became semi-famous after was invited to join Ajax's Academy of Excellence at the age of seven. Sadly, as this website explains, his dreams of a professional career ended a couple of years ago. "Sonny is currently living near Dundee, and is studying psychology at Dundee University. He found the pressures of top-class football too much, and in 2003 decided to pursue a more regular career - having been privy to sports psychologists, he decided to follow that path. Nonetheless, he still has a fervent passion for the game, playing Sunday league football for Dryburgh Saints, as well as weekly five-a-side fixtures against other students."

Guest DustyDeviada Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Whelan could have been a top player if he wasn't such a pisshead. Even during his time with the Dons he would come up with an amazing bit of skill every now and then. What a waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
