Did You Know?
- Alan Fettis, starting as Nottingham Forest's reserve goalkeeper, was an outstanding player available for a few hundred thousand pounds early in the game.
- Viktor Leonenko of Dynamo Kiev performed excellently in the game despite being a reserve in real life due to Serhiy Rebrov and Andriy Shevchenko.
Creation of new players
When a player reached retirement age, the game replaced them by randomly combining first and second names from a nationality-specific database. Users could edit this database to introduce comical names. George Weah and Ruud Gullit often retired early, and their replacements retained similar abilities, sometimes producing outstanding made-up players.
