It was here one of his flock members discovered Football Manager 19. Ripple had already loved spending time on his owner's shoulder Watching him play games on the computer, but something about Football Manager captivated him. He spent hours watching, and learning all of the facets of managing a football club. He soon found himself frustrated by his owner's incompetence and began pecking his neck and hair trying to become the bird version of ratatouille.

Years went by and the Football manager iteration changed, but his love for the game could not be quashed and eventually he came to a point where just managing the sport on a football video game just wasn't enough anymore.
