This visionary student is taking Football Manager just the right amount of seriously
Joshua Unsworth, 21, wasn’t going to play about when he got told to sit in the stands.
Football Manager is a video game made to help put fans in the shoes of the bosses at their favourite clubs, but a student from Leicester has taken the simulation to new heights.
When Joshua Unsworth, 21, was told in the game that he had been given a one-match ban…
“I’m currently at Juventus in the year 2038,” Joshua told the Press Association. “I was banned because I kept complaining about decisions in interviews going against us.”
Despite some trying to pick holes in his story, Joshua says he did indeed play the match from up there on his stepladder.
It’s a move which has received all the plaudits – with the makers of the game themselves weighing in to defend his corner.
“The reaction has been insane,” said Joshua. “I’m shocked and very happy with the response and hope it put a smile on a lot of people’s faces.”
