Club Football Aston Villa video game

Who remembers this game then?  I found my original review of the first game (there were two) submitted on Amazon exactly 10 years ago this month!

"I waited so long to play this game and couldnt wait to play it so words couldnt describe how disappointed i was when it came.
The graphics are great with each player ie Juan Pablo, Samuel etc recreated perfectly although on some shots the graphics look a bit fuzzy and hazy. Villa Park itself looks fantastic and admittedly once you've scored your first in front of the Holte End then you do feel a slight urge to leap out of your chair.
Unfortunately, outside of playing it on easy mode, which is probably TOO easy, you'll hardly score any. The shooting is very wayward and the powerbar very inconsistent - you'll find yourself shooting either too tamely or wildly over the bar half the time. Goalies are near unbeatable, especially when you try and score from inside the box.
The passing game is promising but you find you are closed down v v v quickly and easily dispossessed. Regaining possession is very difficult as the opponents seem to be faster than yours
when on the ball and if you long tackle anybody then 7/10 it will end up in one of your players getting a red card. I had 4 players sent off in my first two games.
This game could have been so so good but unfortunately its a big let down. I first played this game back in November when Villa were resembling a one legged man trying to do the tango and remember thinking "well at least its realistic." Luckily the team improved but unfortunately the game didnt.
Avoid."

Wasn't it a cheapy version of Championship Manager but mainly featuring Villa?

I remember in 1996 having an official CD/ROM of Villa which had Tommy Johnson on the front, it contained classic goals, interviews and squad profiles.
