Those are ridiculous numbers but with the right tactics and a lot of time, why not? Maybe you could be the one to beat it.Īs for the real Maxim, he showed glimpses of his ability at Dinamo Minsk and boasted an almost one in two record. Looking at the various screenshots, the record seems to be about 380 games. The premise is fairly simple – get Tsigalko to 1000 career goals as soon as possible. Search Twitter for #tsgialko1000 and you’ll it in action. Such is Tsigalko’s standing within the CM community a special challenge has been created for him. Adding a second nationality via the editor is effective but rather unethical! Either way, it would be approximately £900k well spent. Tsigalko fans would have to pitch up at a league where work permits are not so much of an issue, such as the Dutch league, or do the unthinkable and cheat. You could sometimes trick the meddling AI by setting his status as indispensable and offering him mega wages but sometimes even that wouldn’t be enough. Getting a deal agreed with the club and the player weren’t really sticking points, however, a work permit would often prove to be a step too far. With Belarus not being part of the EU and with no International record to speak of at this stage, getting him to sign for your club was a challenge in itself.

He’s only 18 when the game boots up too, so he could feasibly be your main man for 15 years if you were so inclined. Finishing of 20 was immediately a big positive for the striker and coupled with 17 for pace and acceleration, he was all set to be the Belarusian Michael Owen. Would that really be enough to secure him world class potential statistics?Īntonio Poutillo is the researcher who regarded the Belarusian as an exciting prospect. For Tsigalko though, he may not be a household name but by the time of the game’s release, he was starting and scoring for Dinamo Minsk. A sneaky researcher added Madeira to the database with incredible stats and he slipped into the final release of the game. He is often partnered by To Madeira, an equally lethal striker picked up for peanuts from the depths of the Portuguese league. Back in 2001, there was no such luxury and the word of a researcher was as good as it got.Īt least Tsigalko is real. It’s hardly surprising, football (or soccer) is more global now than ever and if a player is tearing it up in a league thousands of miles away, there’s a gif of his latest goal readily available within minutes. As is often the case with management games from this era, for every Robbie Keane there’s a Maxim Tsigalko. Mike Duff, Mark Kerr, Cherno Samba, Taribo West and seemingly every footballer born in Sweden and Greece in the 1980s have gone on to gain cult status thanks to their exploits in the virtual world. Still played by a healthy number of people even today, Tsigalko is in good company. There’s no shortage of “CM Legends” given such status due to the longevity of the game.
#Championship manager 01/02 legends series#
The 01/02 version of the popular series is often considered the best. One of the greatest footballers you’ve never seen play, Tsigalko is a Championship Manager legend.

Make a slight adjustment to Maxim Tsigalko and you’ll soon be inundated with tales of goalscoring triumph. Say the name Maksim Tsyhalka and you’ll be met with mostly blank looks.
