Why Championship Manager Is the GOAT: Robin Morgan

This week on Who’s the GOAT?, Leroy is joined by comedian, writer, and football obsessive Robin Morgan — and he’s bringing a cult classic to the table. Forget Messi vs Ronaldo… Robin is here to make the case that Championship Manager is the greatest of all time. From late-night sessions scouting unknown wonderkids, to the heartbreak of getting sacked by a virtual board of directors, Leroy and Robin dive into the nostalgia, the addiction, and the chaos that made Champ Man a cultural phenomenon. They unpack why the game shaped a generation, ruined countless sleep schedules, and still lives rent-free in the minds of football fans everywhere. If you ever lost a weekend to 01/02, signed a 15-year-old for £500k, or believed you genuinely could manage Britton Ferry to European glory — this episode is for you.
