Dream Team (Sky 1 series)

I've recently been watching some old episodes of Dream Team on Youtube & it's got me thinking about how much I loved the show. In reality, it was tacky & awful, but I was a hormonal teenager, the birds in it were all fit (still fancy Linda Block now) & it was about football. It was definitely my favourite TV show at the time.

I remember it being very popular at the time, so I'm really surprised Sky never released the DVD boxset.

Any other Dream Team fans on here?

    Intro (above) is class. I was the perfect age for it too, early teens - especially because Charlton were in the Premiership then so I'd get to see us get pasted by Harchester Utd (Chelsea in purple) on a Sunday evening as well as on MOTD the day before.

    It was definitely terrible, and has probably aged even worse but loved it.

    I always thought Linda Block was played by Kirsty Gallacher.

    Ridiculous show yet I watched it religiously... Didn't they kill half the team off in a coach crash or something at one point?

    Yep. I think that was the final series. There was also the shooting of the team captain by a hitman after the FA Cup final victory at Wembley. How unlucky can 1 team be :smiley:

    I remember we lost the Liverpool 3-3 at Annfield 3-1 to harchester. Fletch scored the burger goal. I think the Southampton 5-0 become 3-0 as well.

    The best thing was that in one episode harchester were looking at signing some character didier baptiste? a left back from a french side and the times and guardian reported that Liverpool were in for him.

    One of my.great memories sitting down watching dream team. Camera pans up for a crowd shot and there is my brother clapping and me asleep having come straight from a night shift onto coach to get to the game.

    Used to enjoy this but it jumped the shark about 5 times over with the various character deaths. Nobody would have signed for Harchester, it was a death sentence!

    Loved it. Took a bit of a break from it in the middle when it got a bit too cheesy and then came back to it around the bus crash. Always get a kick out of seeing actors in stuff now who used to be in Dream Team

    Made Monday mornings a school a bit more bearable, we'd all spend the first few lessons talking about the previous nights episode.

    Probably the only tv show I watched every week.

    This show was fun and I was in my 20's (just!). Got to meet actor Francis Johnson a couple years ago who played the gaffer Ian Coates - smashing fella!

    I watched it for the first time this series a couple of weeks ago when visiting family and proudly announced that I recognised him from Dream Team to a room of people who couldn't have given less of a shit. Philistines.

    I always think that about soaps etc too though, how many affairs and murders etc in one street.

    Don't get me started on why anyone continues to move to Midsomer.

    Remember Richard Keyes had a cameo appearance in this when he got to stare at Linda Block sunbathing in a bikini. It's a hard life!
