When I first started collecting TV shows my first "find" was almost every episode of DREAM TEAM. The fictional drama/soap featuring HARCHESTER UNITED who were based in the Midlands.

Goalkeepers
Goalkeepers are mad. FACT.
A hard call this one. The fun loving gambler who threw matches of the mentally unstable hyper jealous potential killer?

Leon Richards - Just as he became a first team regular he took that ill fated plane ride to Ajax

Now this is where it gets tricky. Trying to fit 8 or 9 into just 4 positions. But I've gone for:-
Danny Rawsthorne - Arguably the greatest player to play for The Dragons. His career cruelly cut short in the coach crash.

Marcel Sabatier - A cultured French international. A quality player right up to his untimely death
Ryan Naysmith - Another who seemed to score more off the pitch than on
Clyde Connolly - A troubled winger bullied to his death

Now for the most contentious part. So many great players missed out here but I ended up with:-
Scott Lucas - A bit of a prat but what a player
Karl Fletcher - Couldn't have been anyone else. Could it?
