IF YOU WERE lucky enough to have access to Sky One back in the day, there’s a good chance you came across the most ridiculous TV show of its era: Dream Team.
A cross between The Bill, Footballer’s Wives and some sort of low budget murder mystery, Dream Team was a weekly dose of the ludicrous every Sunday night.
And this was the cast of characters (who, frankly, should never have moved to Harchester because it seemed to have the highest murder rate in the world in the late ’90s):
1. Luis Amor Rodriguez
His awful Argentinian accent was a character highlight.
2. Lynda Block
The dramatic heartbeat of Dream Team – and survivor of 48 attempts on her life (probably).
3. Jerry Block
Casually tried to assassinate the best player on the team. As you do.
4. Karl Fletcher
5. Abi Fletcher
Our token Irish character.
Abi met Karl when he was recovering from a bus crash (obviously) and their romance blossomed from there.
She might have involved in various hostage scenarios too, because Dream Team.
6. Tash Parker
One half of the major glam couple in Dream Team, along with…
7. Jamie Parker
Jamie got killed when a SWAT team stormed the team’s dressing room.
Seriously.
8. Scott Lucas
A Harchester legend.
Managed to avoid serious injury/death during his time on the show – and for that he’s a walking miracle.
9. Dean Hocknell
10. The lad who tried to assassinate the star player for some reason
Ah, Dream Team.
11. The bus that the team inevitably crash in
What a character.
12. John Black
Tragically taken out in the great Wembley assassination of the late ’90s.
13. Lizzie Conlan
Bringing that necessary Scottish accent to the mix.
14. Claudia Irving
15. Sean Hocknell
He looked like he could – and should – have been a member of Oasis in the early ’90s.

@Dave Murray: linda the goddess with the lips hobbled over to the cobbles of coronation Street to keep us lads amused
No Monday Bandele in the list!! He was world class, if he was around today Utd would have a £100m bid in for him.

@Sean Bradley: probably league 2
@Sean Bradley: you obviously never watched the programme, last I heard was Harchester United were given a wild card invitation to play in the FIFA World Cup and are through too the semifinals now
@Sean Bradley: dead more than likely
That’s Curtis Alexander. Not John Black.
Sean Hocknell was the player killed in the plane crash I think.
Lads, how could you leave out Billy O’Neill or Former Irish international Danny Rawsthorne? For Shame.
Didier Baptiste the player that Liverpool nearly signed
That’s Curtis Alexander, not John Black
Would LOVE to have the box set and watch it now….the memories. Andy Gray being offered the job, Linda….oh Linda….the pay off for the peno, will he miss it or score, Karl Fletcher coming back from Spain. Please Sky release the Box
