“You know dat der iz da 12 flowers near here, alright, well you iz gonna get da 12 flowers by winnin’ da championships in da 12 places. “Oi, you iz gonna do a job 4 me now Joe B,” he said. His words still echo in my brain from that very day. He had the power of the 1 Bling-Bling of London, and I could not go against it (he’s a rich bastard basically). I had been captured by the dark lord, Big Jake C, and he said there was no way of getting back to South Africa and continuing my reign as manager of the City Sharks. The talk was of whether I could stay there and lead Sharks to an amazing league victory, but then I disappeared, never to be seen again in South Africa (well, almost). We were now almost certain to go down, but after 15 games I amazingly had managed City Sharks to top spot in the league. Once again, I had to deal with 10000000000-1 odds on us being champions. I became their manager and we were dead certs for relegation, but amazingly I managed to get them promoted on the final day of the season to the Premier Division. They were desperate for a manager for their interesting blend of 43 and 16 year old players and somehow found out about me. It all started when I somehow grabbed the attention of South African first division side City Sharks. My name is Joe Bloggs, and I have an interesting story about my life so far. This is played on 01/02 using the ODB (original database from v3.9.60) Everything else will be as it was originally written. I will also be replacing any offensive language (swearing remains but ableist insults will be removed) because they don’t enhance the story in any way and, well, they’re offensive. Note: as with many Championship Manager 01/02 saves, this one actually died before it reached a natural end so I’ll be publishing everything that was written up to that point. I managed to save his story before the forum shut down and I will be publishing it here for posterity (albeit without explicit permission, so if you’re reading Joe, I’m happy to take it down and full credit goes to you). I’ve since tried to locate him but to no avail (someone on Reddit has the same username but never replied to my message). I dabbled a bit there too but my all-time favourite story was called 12 Flowers, written by ArsenalJoe. While only an offshoot remains, my favourite subforum was The Managers Diary, a place where people wrote stories about their CM/FM saves. Back in the day, I was a member of a Championship Manager/Football Manager forum known as The Dugout.
