When an FM 2005 gamer applied for the Middlesbrough job

[Guest Rambo]

"Back in 2006, when Steve McClaren left Middlesbrough to begin his ill-fated stint as England manager, a 25-year-old armed with vast experience in the highly addictive and cripplingly detailed Football Manager video game and a brief spell in charge of a real-life Under-11 team decided to apply for the vacant position."

LOL, had never seen the reply before. Brilliant.

Newfound respect for Steve Gibson as well. Although Torres playing upfront for Donnie may not be so far-fetched if you give it a few more seasons.

Brilliant on all accounts :)
