For most people, setting a Guinness World Record feels like an impossible goal, no matter what area of life it covers. For gamers, getting into the Guinness Book is often seen as even harder, since records can be broken so easily over time. But recently, a gamer known and respected as the “king of patience” managed to claim a spot in the record books with a truly unique achievement.
The star of this story is Pawel Sicinski, a devoted Manchester United fan. Fueled by his passion and love for the club, Pawel, who plays Football Manager, dedicated himself to “coaching” the Red Devils. After a long effort, Pawel was recognized for spending 416 years and 134 days in his save file, setting a new Guinness World Record.
Specifically, Pawel started his save in the 2018 season, and now his Manchester United team is in the year 2424, exactly 416 years later. Don’t think he just left the game running to set this record. Over those 416 years, Pawel led MU to win 1,258 trophies and played 22,300 matches. His team scored a total of 58,900 goals, averaging about 2.64 goals per match. If a coach and team like this existed in real life, they’d probably be called the greatest football team in human history. And Manchester United fans can only dream.
According to typical estimates, even with the fastest playthrough, a Football Manager season takes about 10 hours to complete. Doing the math, many would be surprised to learn Pawel spent at least 4,600 hours (around 191 days) playing. That means he has devoted a huge amount of time to his beloved MU over the last four years. Now that’s a true fan.
