Former Liverpool veteran and Irish international Ray Houghton has been signed up by Eidos Interactive as a consultant for the publishers award winning Championship Manager series developed by Sports Interactive. Championship Manager 4 will make its commercial debut on PC later this year with XBOX versions in the pipe-line, Ananova reports today.

Ray Houghton said: "I first got to know the guys at Sports Interactive when I was an agent. I was aware of how accurate and exhaustive their database of players' stats was, and used to phone them for advice on signings." Miles Jacobson from Sports Interactive added: "Ray's input makes us supremely confident that the next version of Champ Man is going to be the best and most accurate football management simulation ever."

Championship Manager recently celebrated its 10th Anniversary edition and powers a franchise that now boasts over 2 million sales worldwide. Features include detailed profiles and histories for over 90,000 players, managers, and coaches, enhanced media involvement, more messages, feedback and variety from the local and national press and new features allowing the player to compare two players side by side.
