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.

Renford rejects!
Dream team!
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'
When he gets pissed and is dancing on the bar in his Y-Fronts just when Pele walks past
The airport brawl with the Jocks, and out of nowhere "look, it's the paddy's"
The note under the FA Chairmans door from Mick Channon in 1979 or something
The Captain getting pinched for hooliganism

Correct answer.
Haha. Some great storylines in that admittedly.
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!
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...
The footage they used at times was shocking, The New Den stood in as Harchesters home ground, but the footage showing was more often than not Stamford Bridge, but also Goodison and White Hart Lane at times and it was often Chelsea, Liverpool, Man Utd, Everton and on one occasion Crystal Palace games used
