Match Day is for me one of the most iconic games of the Spectrum era. Not just for it's sentimental value, which its quite big, I played countless times, but also for it's value as a game.
The exquisite presentation, graphics and sound, and especially gameplay turned this game in one of the best games to scratch the surface of the software world.
The game has it's faults specially when compared to other classics like 'Emlyn Hughes', some were corrected or included in the sequel, but its still a brilliant game.
For me this is the SOCCER game of reference in the ZX Spectrum.
