What teams did you manage through the FM-years

I am quite picky as to what team I want to manage, I only apply to teams I like for their coulours or logo (I have to stare at them a lot you see).

But I also don't want to manage a team I managed in the past, in former FM carreers. I realised a couple of days ago that the list of managed teams is becoming quite large, so I will make an efford to name them all. I wonder if there's people who managed more (I guess there are). Feel free to list yours.

I started in the last CM managing my old love Telstar of dutch second tier. After that save I always start unemployed with lowest rep. Biggest achievements being Eufa-cup QF's with Atalanta and Le Havre. Here's the clubs I managed (that I can remember from the head), mostly lower league:

Belgium: FC Antwerp, Eendracht Aalst

Germany: FC St Pauli, Stuttgarter Kickers

Denmark: Glostrup, B'93, Brönshoj

England: Waltham Abbey, Burgesss Hill Town, Thatcham Town, Chesterfield, Basingstoke Town, Millwall, Hereford Utd, Sheffield Wednesday, Colchester Utd, Harrogate Town, AFC Hornchurch, Tamworth, Ilkeston Town, Droylsden

France: Le Havre AC, RC Strasbourg

Holland: Telstar, FC Dordrecht, vv Ter Leede, DTS'35, vv Kloetinge, AFC'34

Ireland: Finn Harps

Italy: Atalanta Bergamo, Catanzaro

Norway: FK Sogndal

Sweden: Högaborgs BK, Falkenbergs FF, Landskrona BoIS

Scotland: Annan Athletic, Ross County, Queen of the South, Cowdenbeath, St Johnstone

Spain: Toledo

My best save was probably in FM09 where I started out at Högaborgs BK and via Shef Wed (among others) got Le Havre AC into europe form L2.

Through the years of CM and then FM i have done the following save games. This is starting clubs.

Germany: Karlshrue, Schalke - Preferred Team: Eintracht Frankfurt or Borussia M'gladbach

England: Newcastle, Tottenham, Ipswich, Watford, Everton, Aston Villa, Charlton Preferred Team: Aston Villa

France: AS Saint Etienne (Best Save ever) Preferred Team: AS Saint Etienne

Holland: Go Ahead Eagles

Ireland: Shamrock Rovers

Italy: Pro Vercelli

Scotland: Celtic, Aberdeen, Dundee United, Albion Rovers

Spain: Alaves, Betis

Argentina: Newell's Old Boys

The team name and logo are also important to me I enjoy a more unusual save rather than doing the norm. Most of the above were part of a two player game (hotseat) play.

I loved the French save and do not tend to go back as my Saint Etienne save was the best I have ever done. Germany was good but I find it a bit easy there. I support Villa so English saves are always hard when I do not manage them. Scotland is always an interesting challenge and I usually play a Scottish save when developing a new tactic or playing style.

Part way through my first journeyman career at the moment but I do miss a long term save with one club.

wow Flamers. Are you not an old timer like me then lol

My first game was CM96/97 and then they brought out the 97/98 update.

Oh the days of Dalian Atkinson, Cantona, McClair amongst others lol. Even Lee Sharpe was good on that game. I found a copy of it a while back and it was funny to load it up again and see the names in the game.

I started in CM 00/01 but I only used to manage Utd... Then in FM10 I started to look at lower leagues and have had 2 10 season long saves.

Also on a side note, KFK are beaten Rubin of Russia atm in my game!

I always find it hard to re create a previous challenge so always need a new feel to every game. I enjoy using not real players now to make each game individual.

Every save gets that little bit harder to make make it a great save. My current one is struggling to take off at the moment. I may be at Chesterfield for a while I think. My rep sucks lol

Well Team Bury was the obvious small club to big club, I got to 3rd in the Prem before FM11 came out. KFK is small club and small country to big club and big country, I honestly expect this save to take about 50-100 years to get to where I want so I'm in this for the long haul.

Oh and we lost 3-1 to Rubin but oh well, we tried!

Flamers

Christ probably too many too name. A few of my favourite saves have been with...

Peterborough (All English team, youngsters like Ryan Donaldson playing AMC, banging them in)

Huesden-Zolder (Belgium, completed the Small Club to Big Club Challenge with them.)

Arsenal di Sarandi (Argentina, part last seasons career save, dominated with them)

King's Lynn (Home town, think it was 08, they were in the conference south, took them to Prem)

CENE (Brazil, completed the South American version of small to big club)

Had a few career saves in my time, last seasons and 09 was pretty epic.

I'm disgusted with you rancer!

;)

Didn't know you supported Forest back then! Maybe if I knew you in FM08 I wouldn't have played with Derby. Derby were horrible in their only season in the Premiership and I wanted to see how I could do with them. :p

Oh, and I also managed Carlisle too for a couple seasons!

Well, I hope you didn't get more than 11 points as that's their record forever! :D.

I couldn't list all mine as I can't remember them all... I've played CM/FM from the very start. My most memorable saves were with Barnet (01/02) and three times with Billericay (01/02, 06 and 09).

I'm hoping my current Newcastle Town save will be a long running epic, especially as it's the first time I've been able to play with my hometown club from the very start. Problem is, with work and girlfriend taking up more of my time, I might have to skip a version (FM12) for the first time to be able to.
