The last entry of our "Winter Wonderland" series - last year's League Two match between Swindon Town and Crewe Alexandra that came to a stop four minutes into the game on account of the thick fog 🌫️

The iconic reaction of West Ham forward Carlton Cole, after landing on the snow piled past the sideline, in a match of the 2010/11 PL season against Blackburn. Definitely a "walking in a winter wonderland" moment! 😆

A good old First Division battle in the snow at The Dell, between Southampton and Manchester United in March 1986. Hard-fought contest where the Saints won 1-0!

Foxes and Hornets duke it out in the snow during the 2021/22 season, with home team Leicester City winning 4-2!

Yet another 5th Round FA Cup treasure! A harsh and sudden blizzard at the City Ground forced the match between Nottingham Forest and Tottenham to come to an end just 15 minutes into the game! 😱

Last year Leicester City and Liverpool played at Anfield under some severe fog. Somehow the ball still found the back of the net four times, as the Reds won the game 3-1!

Hard tackle on a snowy pitch? Now that's classic winter football 😉
Brought to you by Ipswich Town and Leicester City in a 2009/10 Championship match!

Another 5th Round FA Cup match, and another throwback to the 80's!
How many of you remember this snowy match between Brighton and Peterborough?

Tottenham fans might recall this 5th Round replay match against Rochdale back in 2018. Heavy snowfall at Wembley did not stop the Spurs from winning by a comfortable margin and moving on to quarter-finals 😎

This weekend saw several matches being postponed due to Storm Goretti ❄️
But sometimes "the show must go on," as in this photo of a FA Cup 3rd round match between Liverpool and Luton Town in 1987.

Happy New Year everyone!! 🥳

As the game evolved, so did the 3D match graphics, as we see in the C64 version of Football Manager!

Another iconic screenshot from the ZX Spectrum version. Which player was a "must-have" on your squad? And which one brought you bad luck?

Football Manager was decades ahead of its time with "no-goal" technology! 😉

Originally Football Manager was to be a board game, but making it a video game instead allowed many features to be automated, such as match fixtures and league table updates - ground-breaking stuff even in text-only versions such as the ZX81!

Gearing up to a new year with an iconic image! How many of you remember your first time playing Football Manager and seeing your team score a goal?

Football Star Manager is my renewal of the original game on multiple platforms. I suggested it online with this post, and got such a great response, I wrote it.

I did also write Sofware Star, President, Football Manager 2, and Football World Cup edition, but not Football Manager 3. (I did not even know FM3 was being written!)
