Last Match Then Bed

Last Match, Then Bed is a love letter to the game that stole your youth: Championship Manager. It’s time to relive those bleary-eyed late night marathons, Conference to Champions League miracles, match-winning wonderkids, and GCSE-ruining saves, all from a safe distance. Join comedian Tom Craine each week as he navigates the chaos of managing a team on the iconic 97/98 database, with the help of YOU, and a new celebrity assistant manager (Josh Widdicombe, Nish Kumar, Maisie Adam, Alex Brooker, Elis James and more) to talk 90s football legends, Scandinavian bargains, and which direction to make your players run.

Be part of the journey by sending us your transfer tips, tactical tweaks, and telling us whether it’s time to bring in Ibrahima Bakayoko (the answer is always yes), on: hello@lastmatchthenbed.com
