Looking to make a football manager game whereby I need to store a lot of
stats in a form of DB.

I use ASP/ADO/Access on a daily basis, so I thought I would make the game in
a VB to Access DB combo.  Does anybody know any problems with doing this
combo?

I want to make the game freeware, but what if the user doesn't have MS
Access?  Can the DB still interface with my VB app?

If there has to be some form of run-time does it make the whole installer
monstrously oversized, eg VB app (nice and small), MS Access DB run-time
files (HUGE!!!) and ADO 'glue' (HUGE!!!)?

Any help you can suggest on how I should store my data and what the pitfalls
can be before I start would be very much appreciated.

You will need to redistribute the *jet*.dls for Access.  If you are not
going to use any other database you should probably use DAO which will be
faster and you will not have to redistribute ADO.
