I could just be completely wrong but I swear sam alardyce signed jay jay ocha due to his son playing fm? could just be going mental.

Gordon Strachan used to check out players on CM: http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/games/archives/2006/06/19/f...anager_for_real.html

Not a manager but in referrence to the posting on the forum thing it's been widely doccumented that Robbie Williams is an avid fan of FM and has posted looking for tactics on the board a couple of years back.

No idea if he still does. I wouldn't wager on him not starting "When's the patch out?" threads for a laugh though

I remember reading somewhere that Juve were drawn to play a random team in a euro comp once and they couldnt find any info about them, so Del Piero loaded up his version of Champ Man and checked out the team.
