If you have an emulator installed, all well and good. If not, get Winvice here :-
http://www.viceteam.org/
(Get the Windows 32bit version)
Once your emulator is installed, get the game here :-
http://www.c64.com/
Just search for CONTAINS director
You will have downloaded a .d64 file (Football_Director.d64) which is a disk image. Emulators also cope with .t64 files which are tape images.
Once you have the file, run the emulator. In WinVice, the option you need is File-Autostart Disk/tape image
Point the resulting box at the .d64 file you just downloaded and you should be away.
If you use an emulator other the Vice, you may need to do things differently. Some don't autostart so you need to attach the disk image and then, in the C64 screen, type :-
LOAD "*",8,1
Which was the way you used to have to do it on a real C64. (8 being the disk drive number and 1 meaning open for read just to show how really said I am - Shift-Runstop works for tape games)
If you aren't confident in using a C64, get WinVice and you autostart - it works for nearly every game. And get other games from www.c64.com as well - they have thousands (Including Football Director 2!)
