10 Championship Manager Cult Heroes

If Kennedy Bakircioglu wasn't your first purchase on Championship Manager, the chances are Tonton Zola Moukoko was. First of all, how glorious is that name? Ton-Ton-Zo-La-Mou-Ko-Ko. It is a thing of legitimate beauty. 

Championship Manager 01/02 was when the 5-3-2 attacking formation really came to the fore, and this formation required slotting someone in behind your two strikers. If you had any sense whatsoever, Mr. Zola Moukoko was that man.

Available from Derby County for around £500,000, Moukoko didn't take long to settle in to first team football and he swiftly became an essential member of any side. Moukoko was all dribbling and assists, and whilst he certainly wasn't shy of a goal or two it was his ability to create for others that made him such an integral part of most sides. He was the perfect creative attacking midfielder.

In the real world? He's still playing, albeit in Division 39423 of the Swedish system. He does get phoned up now and then by fans of the game, because of course he does.
