first two series, the team were coached by him, an upper-class older boy who had been the school team's star player until an injury (caused by Terry Stoker) prevented him from playing. He supports Chelsea and often wears Chelsea shirts. By the third series, however, he had recovered from his injury and joined as a player although he still does the training and in a few episodes that series is referred to as Player/Manager. As the series progresses he semms to be affected by the craziness of the others. He left after the 40th episode. Is the only person in Renford who recognizes the 1966 England World Cup team. "Bruno Di Gradi" (Paul Parris) - Real name Barry Grade, he believed he was an Azzuri superstar, and so constantly spoke in an Italian accent despite really being English. Often wears Italian football shirts and also has the ability to appear and disappear from a scene which the other Rejects never seem to recognize. Ben Phillips (Charlie Rolland) - The poetry-loving, bespectacled goalkeeper. Likes to wear shirts with philosophical quotes on them. Vinnie Rodrigues (Roger Davies) - Just as the Renford players fantasied about being great footballers, Vinnie fantasied about being a famous commentator and anchorman. He frequently presented to-camera reports on the team, and in his fantasies famous presenters such as Jim Rosenthal often appeared as his co-anchor. In one episode he plays for the Rejects and shows a lot of talent as a player but prefers to stay as a presenter. Eddie McAvoy (Alex Norton) - Owner of the local cafe "Graceland", and a fanatical Elvis fan, Eddie often helped out the team, and even coached them later in the series although he seems to do this on a part time basis and lets Stewart and later Dennis handle the training side of things. Ronnie Supra (Adam Dean) for the first two series was the fifth player. He was recognizable as always wearing the latest fashions, always combing his hair on the pitch during games and being the son of the sponsor for the team's strips - his father's firm 'Supra Drain', in which was said that Ronnie would someday work. After series two, Ronnie left the Rejects to start his own Agency, and would appear in one episode of series three to help the Rejects when their local pitch was under threat of having houses built on it.
