Irish club offers fans the chance to appear in Football Manager as a player

As far as we know, this is the only way you could get yourself into the latest Football Manager game as a player.

Well, without actually being a professional footballer yourself.

We brought you the story of Irish club Cabinteely FC, who were celebrating their first appearance in the game by offering a free season ticket to the first person to win the league with them in Football Manager 2016.

Well now they’ve gone one step further, by working out a deal with the people behind Football Manager to insert the winner of the competition into the game as a newgen player.

The game has been out for over a week now, so someone may have already completed the task. But it’s still a great gesture to see for a smaller club like Cabinteely.
