Synopsis
The nth variation on the celebrity reality gameshow theme. A squad of (all male) celebrities undergo a week of football training with Graham Taylor, there's a highlights show each night, and every day the three worst-performing participants go up for a public elimination vote. In the event that there's anyone left in the squad at the end of the series, they go up against a "Legends XI" in a final showdown. And, inevitably, lose. Bread-and-butter stuff for Endemol subsidiary Initial, and Mark Durden-Smith comes as standard.
It was axed in January 2007, perhaps unfairly as it was one of Sky One's higher rating original series.
