The makers of the soccer video game Football Manager 2009 are giving away, of all things, a bottle of after-shave with copies of the game. The after-shave, called “Scent of Success,” is said to be made of the scents of the locker room — grass, sweat, shoe leather and heat spray. Miles Jacobsen, spokesman for the games manufacturer, Sports Interactive, said: “Our scent will bring the dressing room into the homes of Football Manager 2009 players, inspiring them for prematch team talks, preparing them to direct their team from the sidelines and prime them for a tricky press conference.” Los Angeles Times
