Football Manager II is the sequel to the original Football Manager created by Kevin Toms with Addictive Games in 1985. This sequel arrived in 1988, and it was released for Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, Amiga, Atari ST, and PC.
In this game, you start from the fourth division, and you have to reach the first. Compared to the previous title, players now have individual skills and stats, and you can choose formations with a graphic interface, as well as assign man-to-man marking.
Still not at the level of more recent football/soccer management games, but the genre was just getting started.
