Kevin TOMS is the original author of the game Football Manager edited by Addictive Games in 1982 on Amstrad CPC. This game made me work my english to understand all the texts inside.

After an Indiegogo project closed without reaching its goal, he continue to work on his book The origin of Football Manager.

Also, you can download on the web site of Kevin TOMS the game jeu Football Manager for mobile (iOS, Android), Kindle Fire, Windows and MacOS.

There is an interview with Kevin TOMS made by 60minuteswith.
