2001-02 Season Throwback Database for FM21 [Complete DB]

This database takes you back to the 2001-02 season. Relive and change the history with some of the biggest legends of all time.


Travel back in time to an era of football where some of the greatest players of all time roamed the world. This Football Manager 2021 throwback database brings back some epic teams, managers and players from around the world in the original leagues and teams from 2001/02. If you don't remember 2000's football, this is a great and fun opportunity to learn about an epic football era.

The players attributes are copied manually from Championship Manager 2001/02. I've dedicated myself to this project for the last 6 months.
