Football Manager fame.
Kyle Wilson earned the nick-name "Super Kyle" as a result of his in-game performances in the pc based Football Manager game of the same name. His performances were highlighted in a challenge called the "dafuge challenge" on the SI Games Forums, which involved taking a club from a previously unplayable league in the English structure, (Conference North/South was the lowest active league), and managing them to the Premier League and European success. Super Kyle was a popular choice for participants in the challenge and his nick-name soon stuck as the goals started and then continued to fly in. While his real-life career didn't live up to that of his Football Manager one, his name will be remembered all the same in Football Manager circles.
