Paul Edward Collyer MBE and Oliver Charles Collyer MBE, collectively known as the Collyer brothers, are two British video game designers and programmers. In July 1994, they founded London-based video game developer Sports Interactive, under which they created popular video game franchises of football-based sports games, such as Championship Manager and Football Manager. The Collyer brothers often inserted themselves into their games as below-average players, not good enough to play for even the worst teams.

The Collyer brothers are supporters of Everton[1] Both Collyers were appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2010 New Year Honours for services to the video game industry.[2]
