A quick entry for a title that was spotted by Martin/Stadium64. Although there is a “European SuperLeague – Football Fortunes 2.” by CDS, “European Superleague” was confusingly a completely different title with a similar name.
An interview can be found here with the author of Football Fortunes 2: https://medium.com/football-fortunes-2017/q-a-with-keith-mcleman-the-creator-of-football-fortunes-2-european-super-league-69348d67ca7c
Versions were released for the Spectrum, but the C64 version is very much at large, even though mentioned in the manual. Was it ever released or even started though?
According to Fabrizio Bartoloni – in issue #38 of “Super Commodore 64/128” (page 40-41) reviews CDS’ European Superleague referring to it as a C64 game in the body of the review while accompanying it with Amiga screenshots. Does that mean they had an actual C64 copy of the game?

Interesting. I had it on the Amstrad back in the day and it was quite good and would have looked quite good on the C64..
This is the kind of things driving me crazy when doing some retro researches, the issue #38 of “Super Commodore 64/128” (page 40-41) reviews CDS’ European Superleague referring to it as a C64 game in the body of the review while accompanying it with Amiga screenshots, and it does the same with all the other games reviewed!

Guys we’re remaking Brian Clough’s Football Fortunes. European Super League – Football Fortunes 2 and European Super League are two completely different titles. The box was reused for Football Fortunes 2, this is the only commonality.
Here’s an interview with the creator of Football Fortunes 2 with much more detail https://medium.com/football-fortunes-2017/q-a-with-keith-mcleman-the-creator-of-football-fortunes-2-european-super-league-69348d67ca7c
Thanks Marty! Quickly updating the page with the interview link. Would be great to find the different version.
