Reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
Footballers' Wives plays rather like a dramatisation of the worst bits of Heat magazine, fuelling our obsession with worshipping at the celebrity altar. In essence it's Dynasty set in the world of premiership football, though you shouldn't be fooled by the title: this is definitely not a "game of two halves". For the first time in history, men may leave the room at the mention of football to let the women gorge themselves on a surfeit of bad fashion, affairs, drug habits, long-lost children and the gratuitous disposal of excessive wealth.

There are more than a few recognisable characters--the foreign manager, the glamour-model wife, the smouldering Italian mid-fielder--whose presence only adds to the (intended) impression that this just might be fact thinly disguised as fiction (though it's unlikely that any real footballer's wife would almost kill the chairman of the club in a fit of rage, as Tanya does in the first episode). Unsurprisingly Footballers' Wives was created by the same team that produced the trash-fest that was Bad Girls and despite never being a contender for best drama it offers a perfect opportunity to become a voyeur in a world with more glitz and leg action than most.

On the DVD: Footballers' Wives is presented with an ordinary TV transfer. The special features are nothing to get excited about, just standard interviews and photo galleries. --Nikki Disney

4.0 out of 5 stars Sex, Drugs and Football, 29 Jan 2003
Let me start by saying I hate Soccer, but I LOVE Footballer's Wives! It is sexy, trashy and full of flash. If you want to watch a show that is fun and easy to watch, Footballer's Wives is for you, If you like tongue in cheek fun buy this DVD!

5.0 out of 5 stars **A FANTASTIC DREAM FOR FOOTBALLER WNNABEES**, 27 Mar 2004
OK, so I've seen the first two episodes and am absolutely hooked. I wanted to play Football for life but edged out to follow a less finacially rewarding career. I'm not saying I want to be like these characters, but... it does seem to show glimpses of reality from time to time(did I really say that). I like the analogies you can make to players and managers and the surreal reality/comedy/harsh story lines. Yes theres the very pretty girls and the fast cars, drink, drugs, broken marriages but who cares, it's not like most of us will ever know... its great fun and gripping viewing.
**FANTASTIC**

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 6 Jan 2004
This review is from: Footballers' Wives - Series 1 - Episodes 1 To 8 [VHS] [2002] (VHS Tape)
I am a big fan of Footballers' Wive$ and i thought the DVD was fantastic! It's got loads of special features and a brilliant photo gallery. I really can't wait for the 3rd series to be on TV and i'm definitely gonna buy the 2nd and 3rd series on DVD when they come out. A big well done to the characters for putting a lot of hard work into making Footballers' Wive$ so brilliant.
