  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    ‘The Everyday Tactician’ is a competition organised by Xbox and Football Manager to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the video game. The winner of the tournament will be inducted into the club's coaching team.

    As a bonus, that lucky fan will also get an opportunity to coach Mitchel Bergkamp, the son of Arsenal legend Dennis. Mitchel joined the non-league side in January.

  • WHAT DID ANDY WOODMAN SAY?

    Bromley manager Woodman has said of the venture: "At Bromley FC, we pride ourselves on being a community club, so we're very much looking forward to welcoming an enthusiastic supporter to our backroom staff. There are definitely plenty out there who know how to guide us to glory in the Football Manager game, so we're excited to welcome someone who can replicate that in the real world."

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Mitchel Bergkamp, who previously took in a spell at Watford, has scored one goal in nine National League appearances for Bromley this season, helping them rise to fourth in the table.

  • WHAT NEXT FOR BROMLEY?

    Bromley will next face off against Fylde on November 18, three days before a home fixture against Aldershot Town.
