Championship Manager kicking off on iPhone

All you footyballs fans out there will be rioting in the streets with the news that The Times has heard the classic management game from 1992 (can you believe it’s been that long?!) is coming to the iPhone.

Champ Man migrated to the mobile a couple of years back and has been going down a storm – picking up Gold Awards for both its 2007 and 2008 outings, which it keeps on the shelf along with its Scottish BAFTA.

Details on precisely what the iPhone version will include haven’t yet been revealed, other than the usual mountain of statistics to keep your flat cap red hot and a 2D match engine for the in-game action.

By all accounts Championship Manager should be with us very shortly, as it’s believed to be going through Apple’s submissions mangle right now. More news as we get it, footy fans.
