Although the Premier League season has ended, football fever is still high with Euro 2016 just round the corner.<\/p>\n
For this week’s Friday Five, we\u2019ve taken a trip down memory lane and picked some of the best football games from over the years. Share your favourites in the comments!<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t forget: you can buy retro games<\/a> from the musicMagpie Store from just \u00a31.19!<\/p>\n 1996 was a great year for football. England hosted the European Championships, the Shearer-Sheringham partnership was at peak power and we even managed to tonk the Netherlands. Let\u2019s just brush that Gareth Southgate stuff under the carpet, eh?<\/p>\n The biggest football event of the year, though, was the release of ISS Deluxe<\/em>. It\u2019s rubbish by the standards of modern soccer games but it was incredible back in the day, with loads of skills, epic goals and possibly the best (by which we mean terrible and cheesy) commentary ever<\/em>. Blocked shot!<\/p>\n Yes, it\u2019s old and yes, it\u2019s missing a lot of the features we take for granted now but Championship Manager 2001\/02 <\/em>is the perfect combination of tactical bliss and faster-paced action.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also jam-packed with legends, from Zidane and Nedved to Beckham and Scholes, although the biggest star of them all is Cherno Samba, a cut-price teen who bangs in endless goals on his way to becoming best player in the world. In real life, he played around 50 games and scored around 15 goals before retiring last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n
