Although it was incredibly obvious, Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikis recently added further confirmation on the That Peter Crouch Podcast that the character of Zava was mostly based on the charismatic, egotistical Zlatan Ibrahimovich. Ibrahimovich (often referred to as Ibra or just by his first name, much like Cher) is famous for having some of the mo...
The man with the catchiest chant in the game, few characters have shown as much growth as Jamie Tartt, played brilliantly and empathetically by Phil Dunster. Originally written as an overly-cocky yet supremely talented starlet, Tartt’s selfishness and ability to back it up was compared to global superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, who also rose to promine...
All round good guy and one of the most likable characters in a show full of them, Sam’s personality isn’t based on a footballer, but an American comedian and actor. Sam Richardson, of VEEP fame, is known for having a laidback, friendly personality, and generally being a nice guy in an industry that sometimes lacks them. The American was brought in ...
There’s no doubt about who inspired gruff hardman and ex-Richmond captain turned coach Roy Kent: the former, much-feared Manchester United captain Roy Keane.

However, the similarities between the coaching styles and general exuberance of the man from Kansasand current Liverpoo...
In South and Central America, Dani Rojas‘s famous catchphrase about football being life is a truism, and two real players that embody that message are the Mexican Javier “Chicharito” Hernández and the Chilean Alexis Sanchez. Chicharito was more of a “poacher” than Rojas is but always had the same sunny attitude on the pitch, whereas Sanchez has a s...
A lot of people might think this is a bit of a stretch, but the similarities between Nateand the man who once called himself “the special one” are pretty numerous when you think about it. Nate was an assistant coach at Richmond before heading over to manage their rivals West Ham, and Mourinho got his start at F.C Barcelona before famously managing ...
Keeley is certainly a fan favorite, and while many think she’s an amalgamation of various British models, she’s mostly based on former English glamor girl Keeley Hazell. Hazell has even been credited as a writer on the show and has also appeared as Rupert’s girlfriend. The similarities between the pair don’t just end with their careers, but also th...
While Richmond are fictional, there are some similarities between them and other real-life clubs in London. A.F.C Wimbledon were once a stalwart of the football league before mismanagement saw them dissolve and have to restart from the bottom of the football pyramid, but Wimbledon’s close proximity to Richmond and the latter’s status as a middling ...
