CREDITS

• Emil Debski for the original player, club, nation and staff overview panels, World Map locator, the signature font and the BBC news panel and for inspiration.
  
• Flut for basic panel layout for new prematch lineups
  
• OzO for the base skin, Elegance 16, that I worked from.
  
• Bantams for basic main menu layout.
  
• wkdsoul for some coding help.
  
• michaeltmurray for some coding help also.
  

PLEASE NOTE
Even though I had the background selector I was getting some crash dumps caused during loading a game from the main menu. If you loaded another skin, loaded the game then loaded Blak again the backgrounds would work and caused no issues during play. However, due to the crash dumps caused I decided it was prudent to remove it
