Everton Football Club har skrevet under på en aftale med Sports Interactive om at bruge deres database fra Football Manager til at spejde efter spillere og personale.

Over 1000 spejdere har kompileret den enorme mængde af data, som rummer omkring 370.000 beskrivelser af 20.000 hold i 50 lande på verdensplan.

Nu vil Evertons manager David Moyes gå databasen igennem i håb om at finde den næste store stjerne.

"I am personally delighted with today's announcement as I'm a Toffees fan," siger Sports Interactives Miles Jacobson, der tilsyneladende aldrig har hørt om det eneste rigtige hold fra Liverpool.

"Standing on the pitch with my signing-on shirt is as close to my boyhood dream of playing at Goodison Park as I will ever get.

"We've known for a while that teams use the game to research certain players, whether to buy or to check out the opposition, but this formal recognition by a premiership team is fantastic and we are sure it will prove a fruitful one for the Everton FC," tilføjer han.
