10 Championship Manager Cult Heroes

Where did Serge Makofo play? Does it matter? No, obviously, because wherever he played he was an absolute beast. As Championship Manager 4 rolled around, Wimbledon were essentially a dead club and one of the first acts a new manager of a lower league club would make would be to raid their relatively fruitful youth ranks. The prized plum of these ranks was the venerable Serge Makofo. 

A midfielder/striker in reality, I remember Makofo was a right back and what a right back he was. With the mass of creative players available for peanuts (sometimes literally) it was a boon to find such a talented defender, especially such a young one. Makofo was available for these aforementioned peanuts, and 110% of the time he would become one of the finest footballers on the planet.

It shocks me to find out that Makofo is only 28 years old to this day (aka younger than me). He has represented 17 clubs in his career, obviously not reaching the heights he did in the virtual world. He currently plays for Dulwich Hamlet (on loan from WHITEHAWK!!!), and I had to Wikipedia both sides to see which country they played in.
