It just proves...never trust Football Manager cos Kim Kallstrom never did it either


Kim Källström was frikking brilliant in FM 2007.


Didn't he make a few hundred appearances for Lyon/win several titles there? FM legend, sure, but he's had a better career than most in the thread.


FM claimed Vincent Kompany was the world's best centrehalf years before anyone in England had ever heard of him. Never trust it?

Ishmael Miller. Had to google him to see where he was at, Boro on loan from Notts Forest it turns out. Still only 25 though.

Cudicini is a good one. He was rated as one of the best keepers in worked football in that latter-day Ranieri Chelsea side. He's been sat on a bench ever since.

Kolo Toure, he looks like a fan who won a competion to play with your team, On a par with your old man dancing or playing with a player who when he gets a game has never played before. Micah or Maicon have nothing to fear.

This. Not heard a player get such a verbal bashing by fans in a long long time. Then he starts telling everyone to keep calm. It's because of you everyone's fucking panicking kolo. Thank fuck it was only Keiron Dyer he decided not to mark.

Awful awful awful performance yesterday.

Gael Kakuta looks like one who's career will soon be played out in the lower echelons of Ligue 1. John Bostock as well, picked up by Spurs and touted for big things, currently out on loan at Swindon

Deco had great years with both Porto and Barcelona.He never reached the same heights at Chelsea but he was fantastic in his prime deffo does not belong in this thread.

CarlfeedtheGriffiths.

From wiki: He started his career with Shrewsbury Town in 1988, and after being voted onto the PFA Team of the Year, moved on to Manchester City for £500,000 in October 1993. In August 1995 he transferred to Portsmouth for £200,000, moving on to Peterborough United for £225,000 in March 1996. He joined Leyton Orient for £65,000 in March 1997, where he stayed for four years, interrupted by short spells at Wrexham (on loan) and Port Vale. He played for Luton Town between July 2001 and 2003 following a £65,000 transfer, later dropping into non-league football with Harlow Town, Braintree Town, Brentwood Town, and Maldon Town. He also represented Wales at under-21 level and also for the "B" team. Within his three spells with Leyton Orient he achieved cult status and in 2004 received 9% of the vote for all-time cult hero behind Peter Kitchen and Terry Howard.[1]

Turning to management in 2008, he took charge of Brentwood Town for a year. In 2010 he was made manager of Aveley, before leaving this post the following year.

Paul Moulden:

Born in Farnworth, near Bolton, Lancashire, as a youth Moulden entered the Guinness Book of Records by scoring 340 goals in a single season for Bolton Lads Club under-15s.[1] He subsequently joined Manchester City, where he was a part of the team which won the 1986 FA Youth Cup.[2] He made his first team debut on 1 January 1986 against Aston Villa aged 18.[3] He made only two further first team appearances that season, both as substitute, but finished the season as top scorer for the reserve team.[4] His first extended run in the first team came in late 1986, and he scored his first goals for the club in a 3-1 win over Aston Villa on 8 November. A broken leg[3] restricted him to three starts in the 1987-88 season. The following season Moulden started the majority of matches, finishing the season as top scorer with 13 goals in 36 league appearances as Manchester City gained promotion to the First Division. However in the close season he was sold to Bournemouth as a makeweight in the deal which took Ian Bishop to Maine Road.

Moulden spent just seven months on the south coast, scoring 13 goals in 37 starts for the Cherries, before moving to Oldham on transfer deadline day. At Oldham he struggled with injuries, starting 19 matches in three years. He then had short spells with a succession clubs, playing for Brighton, Birmingham, Huddersfield and Rochdale before dropping out of League football in 1996.

After retiring from full-time football, he opened a fish and chip shop and played non-league football for Accrington Stanley[5] and Bacup Borough.[6] He went on to coach juniors at his old boys' club and at Manchester City's academy.

Is he still with us?
