Managers 'Hall of Fame' for Football Manager
Hi All,
Work is going well on the new CM game "Football Manager 2005". Currently it's in beta test mode, and the new all Ireland Cup for 2005 and the Irish league select v. National league select is implemented at both senior and U21 levels, so it's full of cool new features and looking good.
Anyway... I'm trying to implement a 'Fall of Fame' feature for League of Ireland users of the game. This would basically consist of a record of all major titles won by the managers in the game.
In order for this to work well I'll need a current hall of fame for the new 'computer managers' to be judged against.
What I need is a list of 'trophy history' of all managers that's EVER managed in the league of Ireland! (not an easy task).
Only 'Premier Division' and 'FAI Cup' wins are currently taken into account for the game so please don't post First Division wins, league cup, or Presidents Cup wins etc.
Example of what's needed:
"DOMESTIC_MANAGER_RECORD" "Pat" "Dolan" "20/09/1968" "Saint Patrick's Athletic" 2 0
"DOMESTIC_MANAGER_RECORD" "Dermot" "Keely" "08/03/1954" "Shelbourne" 1 0
"DOMESTIC_MANAGER_RECORD" "Turlough" "O'Connor" "22/07/1946" "Athlone Town" 2 0
"DOMESTIC_MANAGER_RECORD" "Turlough" "O'Connor" "22/07/1946" "Dundalk" 2 1
The above tells me that Pat Dolan won two leagues with St. Pat's but no FAI Cups, and Keely won one title but no FAI cups.
In the case of Turlough O'Connor it separates the teams he's managed to win trophies at, two titles at Athlone, and two titles at Dundalk and an FAI Cup win. This will be combined in the finished game. I'm not even sure the ingo I've posted above is accurate, but I'm sure someone will let me know. :)
Are there ANY website where all this information is found? What would be perfect would be a year by year breakdown of league winners and the manager at the time, and the same with the FAI cup.
Or can any of you wise chaps out these post up some kind of rough hall of fame, as it will give me something to work off.
Thanks in advance.
