Today sees a football first as legendary manager Harry Redknapp takes on the role as mentor to an up and coming COMPUTER GAME football manager.

The Tottenham Hotspur boss has been signed by Football Manager 2010, the most successful football management simulation, to give one ’bedroom manager’ advice on how to improve the performance of their virtual team.

Any GAME reward card customer who purchases the new Football Manager 2010 from GAME stores or GAME.co.uk on Friday 30 October 2009 will be entered into a prize draw, with one lucky gamer being selected to join Redknapp’s personal phone book. The computer game manager will be able to talk to him to ask his football management advice.

The Football Manager game already crosses over into real-life football with clubs using the database to research players, whether to buy or check out opponents, and Everton F.C took it one step further last year by officially signing the database (and its 1,500 scouts) as part of their backroom management team.

Harry Redknapp said, "I’ve got plenty of years experience in football management so hopefully I’ll be able to pass on some valuable words of wisdom."
