I am sat with the guy (Doug Mathews) who designed the game all those years ago for Goliath Games. He is quite amazed that people can still remember the game and are still talking about it! He also did 'The Double' for Commodore.
Nigel Spackman - the name still makes me LOL. My mate Richard Thompson used to think he was one of the greatest players in the world at primary school. Spackman, not Richard.
Won the World Cup several times with West Germany... was funny how there was no age check so I got a few cups in a row, players should be 60 years old by then, lol... And no, no crazy graphics haha
Excellent video, can't find my Spectrum anywhere so it was nice to see this in action again. Lost a fair few hours trying to lead Scotland to glory iirc.
I used to play this all the time, when I was younger. Great days!

It was sooo difficult to qualify to the World Cup with Hungary because the players were weak back then, just like nowadays :-(

One of my favourite games on the Commodore. Made me understand how frustrating it must be to coach the Finnish national team.

the game begins at qualifying for euro 88?
so England can do even worse than Mexico 86?

I owned this game on the ZX Spectrum and played it for hours each day. My brother managed a West German team whose goalie could never be beaten!
