and the Guardian:The hugely-popular comedy, which featured a cameo from Pele, made over £3million at the UK box office.
So, since nobody alive likes, cares about or remembers either the Mike Bassett film or the Mike Bassett sitcom, it seems a bit strange to hear that a new Mike Bassett film is in the works.

When the FA are looking for a manager, they go through every manager in the top flight, even Sunderland's who, iirc was supposedly in jail, and they say something like 'Well, you know where we are going to have to look, bloody Scandanavia'liddle_4_ever wrote:Great film and former Darlo player (great Afro).
Favourite moments:
When the English Irish and Scottish teams arrive in the host nation (see YouTube)
Pele is getting interviewed "football brings the world together .... Dam it's the English lets go elsewhere"
"We will be playing. 4 4 f*cking 2"
The commentators when england beat the argies with a hand of god.

Dream team!
Ah yes, Harchester United, the Club of death, Coach Crashes, Plane Crashes, a player took down by a sniper, suicide, coach blowing up, getting a pot smashed over the head, impaled on a coat peg...lo36789 wrote:Haha.

Keep seeing old players popping up in soaps! Most of them seem to die quite quickly though, at least in Dream Team they would tend to see out a season before a cull.
I did enjoy that they seemingly played in purple so they could used clips of any team in Blue/Red but slightly tint the colour one way or another!
I only really saw later series.fozzovmurton wrote:Ah yes, Harchester United, the Club of death, Coach Crashes, Plane Crashes, a player took down by a sniper, suicide, coach blowing up, getting a pot smashed over the head, impaled on a coat peg...
If I remember correctly, Jamie Parker was suicide by cop, cant remember the reason behind it though...lo36789 wrote:I only really saw later series.fozzovmurton wrote:Ah yes, Harchester United, the Club of death, Coach Crashes, Plane Crashes, a player took down by a sniper, suicide, coach blowing up, getting a pot smashed over the head, impaled on a coat peg...
I remember Jamie Parker being shot, after throwing games. Munday Bandele having to marry a girl to get a work permit. Callum Davenport the £30m signing from Barcelona who had a hereditary eye condition and ended up blind. And a goalkeeper who could predict the future.
Not to forget the chairmanship being given to a season ticket holder, who actually ended up being a random Everton fan (I actually refereed the 'son' 2 years ago playing in a local Liverpool league).
He was either betting on Harchester to get relegated or he was being paid to throw matches to get them relegated. Either way he ended up holding up the dressing room in someway to require a SWOT team to turn up and he made sure he was shot. At least that is what I remember!fozzovmurton wrote:If I remember correctly, Jamie Parker was suicide by cop, cant remember the reason behind it though...
The board room bit is one of my favourites, when the camera peeks over the shoulder of one of the old fogies and shows his notepaper in front of him with doodles on it including a drawing of a cock.When the FA are looking for a manager, they go through every manager in the top flight, even Sunderland's who, iirc was supposedly in jail, and they say something like 'Well, you know where we are going to have to look, bloody Scandanavia'

One of the members suggests "Ally McTavish" (a parody of Alex Ferguson) and the chairman goes through all of his achievements and declares him the ideal candidate and then "only trouble is, he's Scottish"
