I have just thought of a couple more football games of yesterday. Microprose Soccer on the Commodore 64, and of course playing FIFA '98 (Road to the World Cup) on the PS. The latter used to be called the woo-hoo game by a friend's younger brother: well to be honest Gareth was about 7 or 8 at the time it came out haha....
Loving this thread - for me Late nights and early mornings round mates house playing SS and SWOS on the Amiga. And breaking endless joysticks playing that game. Nothing has come close to that experience.
Smokey London nights playing CM till the sunrise in the 90s came close.
Swos has been the game I enjoyed more, playing against friends. Other classics have been Emlyn Hughes International Soccer, Mexico 86, Kick Off, Player Manager, Microprose Soccer...
I started with FM series quite late, with CM4 (here in Italy Scudetto 4).
Check the profile: 0 posts, 0 data submissions etc. and their first ever comment. It could be a bot. I remember the same kind of messages appearing during the quietesest night time, offers ranging from steroids, escorts, dating and medicine to false ID's. I think this is the first I've seen since the site got updated to the current, new, version. I suppose some spam will always trickle through.
The admins will take care of it soon, if it indeed turns out to be an advertising/spamming bot.

SWOS on the Amiga1200 was superb, have you seen the 2020 version?
