There is a topic called "Next Beckenbauer" somewhere on this forum. I was wondering - where does it say so in the game if the player is "next ..."?

Go to the Players "Personal" screen. Anything like that will be there

thanks any idea at what age it appears?

It can happen at any age, providing the player is 21 or under I believe.

What it needs is for the player to be good for his age, and have be a similar type of player to the said player. The next Bobby Moore for example, is likely to be a strong, commanding centre back.

Be warned though, whis is by no means a sign that the player is actually going to turn into a star.

Yes, it means that the player has similar playing styles, not that they're necessarily going to be the same player. I had a player in 07 touted as the next Jan Koller, and I played him virtually every game because I thought he'd end up brilliant. I eventually sold him when he turned out to be rubbish, and he didn't make a start for Shrewsbury in two years.

And sorry, this has gone straight up into my mental list of favourite ever quotes.

Come on. How can that be as good as Beckhams, saying he isn't stupid by admitting to the press that he delibrately got himself booked to miss the next England game.

And even more, my personal fave, from an interview with then Liverpool manager Roy Evans:

Journalist: "Are you going to have to finish above Man Utd to win the league?"
Evans: "We're going to have to finish above every one to win the league."

Now thats a classic.

I had a quiet laugh when I read it too.

Theres alot of quotes out there like this..

How about a Joe Royel quote - If it had gone in, it would have been a goal!

Or.. We are really quite lucky this year because Christmas falls on Christmas Day!

Classics.

Or Howard Wilkinson "I am a firm believer that if you score one goal the other team have to score two to win." Or "If they hadn't scored, we would of won" What a terrible manager he was for us.
