Travel back in time to an era of football where some of the greatest players of all time roamed the world. This Football Manager 2019 throwback database brings back some epic teams, managers and players from around the world in the original leagues and teams from 2003/04. If you don't remember 2000's football, this is a great and fun opportunity to learn about an epic football era.
This is the 2003/04 season database. Everything in the FM19 database, has been reverted to 2003. All the leagues are as they where back in 2003, with all the teams from back then. The players attributes are copied from CM4 (2003/04 season).
So now you have the chance to train and coach all the legends from the beginning of the century, in the best football management simulation game ever. To get the full experience please read the instructions below.

I have researched for this DB for years, looking through old archives for stats, watching video material, talking to football historians. To be able to rate the player attributes as best as possible.
So jump into the FM Time-machine and travel back to 2003.
There is also a facepack for the database, that you have to get separately.
