Football Manager 2009 and the Sweet Smell of Sweat??

Fans of Football Manager 2009 get a little something extra when they pick up their copy of the game. A new aftershave, called The Scent of Success, will be offered free with purchase.
….made from grass, sweat, boot leather and heat spray is set to be given away free.
Scent of Success has been developed by computer games manufacturer Sports Interactive - who will be giving away the fragrance with the new ‘Football Manager 2009′ game - and is set to inspire struggling soccer teams.
The perfume is said to have been created by collecting samples from the changing rooms of top teams.
Miles Jacobson, a spokesman for Sports Interactive, said: “If Britney Spears and Kerry Katona can have their own fragrance I don’t see why we can’t.
“Our scent will bring the dressing room into the homes of Football Manager 2009 players, inspiring them for pre-match team talks, preparing them to direct their team from the sidelines and prime them for a tricky press conference.”
At first, I thought, this sounds crazy, but then I thought…hmmm……..This may be under the heading of too much information, but if they are able to capture the scent of a man fresh off the field, I’d love to give this one a sniff. Grass, musky men, and boot leather. Interesting.
