    Excellent !

    You can just imagine the next match report..............."and from a superb through ball from Bobby Moore, George Best sent over an accurate cross, and Pele chested the ball down into the path of Zinedine Zidane who chipped the ball to Lionel Messi, who beat the goalkeeper with a fine shot into the back of the net"

    Nope.

    Although I did get them promoted once, in Football Manager 2005 I think it was?
