Raised in a crevice in the darkest depths of the North Sea by a school of haddock somewhere off the coast of Grimsby, Captain Haddock’s childhood was a surprisingly conventional one.

The days of his youth were a fun filled mixture of football, football and Grimsby Town (the latter not necessarily being linked to the former).

From his first ever unparalleled success managing Aldershot on the immense Commodore 64’s Soccer Supremo, the Captain had his heart set on being a football manager.

Any spare time he had was dedicated to playing Football Manager, only pausing briefly to play on FIFA 98 and snack on Scampi Fries.

The Captain has since spread his gills, taking off on 3 separate occasions to tread the calmer and infinitely bluer waters of Canada, the US of A, Europe, Australasia and South East Asia, managing to sandwich a 3 year University degree in Sheffield in between all this.

Not fancying the cold, harsh winter that North East Lincolnshire (yes that’s right, Grimsby is not in Yorkshire!) had to offer, the Captain applied for a job in London where he was told the temperatures soared at least 2° higher.

And so here I am, I mean here he is, coming to you as Community Officer for Football Manager at SEGA.

“I am mildly delighted to be here” said the Captain “although the fish and chips are, quite frankly, rubbish”.

Biggest achievement to date: Holding Stuart Pearce’s shampoo while he searched for a pen.

Likes: Freezing cold Tuesday nights at Blundell Park, Fiji and Marmite.

Dislikes: Cheese sweats, Salmon (we just don’t see eye-to-eye) and Scunthorpe.

After a 2 year period of nomadic wandering since finishing University, […]
