You'd love it.
Sean Bean as Harry George, a Yorkshire born Centre Forward, a Leader of Men.
Bill Nighy as Dicky Flashley, cockney winger and southern Charmer.
Cirian Hinds / Tom Wilkinson / Jimmy Nail as Tom 'O Grock, Part Scottish Part Irish Central Defender and the moral compass of the three.
Russell Brand as Michael Flashley, Superstar and son of Harry. He's loaning them a Flat till they get back their feet.
Dicky Flashley has just lost it all.
He's lost it before and he didn't really care because of his uncanny ability to land on his feet. This time, he has also lost the Life Savings of his two best mates, Harry and Tom.
As former High Flying Footballers, they use to have it all. Now, after some shocking investment advice form a Traveling Nigerian Prince, Dicky, Tom and Harry lose everything and their wives also leave them.
Forced to beg Michael to loan them a Flat, they embark on a soul re-building journey to right the wrongs of the past, but first they must endure the Referee who cruelly denied them the Cup in '77 and now lives upstairs, the fans who love them, then turn on them in the same breath; the old models they bedded as groupies and treated like garbage, only to find out they now own the Building they live in, and froth in glee about making their lives Hell; Michael turning up with Birds at any given moment forcing them to kip out in the Hallway; and the ghosts of players past who visit them at night and torment them with their failures.
Think the gritty, realistic humour of Auf Weidersein Pet mixed with the Catchphrasey Stylings of Bread sprinkled with the Whip Smart observations of Birds of a Feather.
It would be the best show ever lets face it.
Is this real?

The three protagonists, you baited the hook. (It needed Betty White getting made air tight to appeal to a slightly older audience, but the hooks there)
Bit of young tit to appeal to the boybanders - Brand. Check.
Who were their wives?
The ref?
But you know where you lost it? 'Whip smart' Birds of a feather.
Needs a rethink. Whats the background of the clubs they were at? Internationals? Do they spill loads of stories about other players???(loads of room for mirth here)
Thinking on my feet now, occasional visits from former teammate Ginwolaa who pops by when shooting adverts and checks to see how they're all getting on?

Birds of a Feather had a great pilot episode and really smart writing if you remember it. Got formulaic as they all do, but there was some quality writing.
I'm just making this up as I go tbf.
That last bit you wrote is great -
- Players of a former team. We have a Rugby League team here called the Newtown Jets, who up till the 80's were a big Footy side back in the day. They went bust and there's still; ex-Newtown Jets players all over the place, but the club has slipped from grace. I wonder if theres a really great side from the 70's who aren't around anymore. That or just make one up ala Mersyside Bue.
Wives - ex models Janice Dickinson, Jerry Hall, Gia Carangi, Iman, Renee Russo, Dayle Hadden... there are loads of attractive older women actors to fill out these roles. I think Dicky's wife would be much younger and crazier and Helen Mirren owns the Apartment Building, and has been waiting for the day Dicky Flashley, the man who splintered her Heart into a million piece crawls back into her life.
The Ref would be the catalyst for the second half of the series after the revelation that Dicky was involved in fixing the match. The Referee knew what was happening and tried to influence the game as such and was ostracized and shamed as a result. His whole life was destroyed by Dicky and guess who has just moved in down stairs. I would want him to be slightly Indian or Mexican in the way it would put him immediately at odds with the 'establishment' but holds true with 1970's multi-culturalism - and some back story where he crawled through all manner of Hells to get to the West.
Ex players - you could have representations of personalities now - Bobble Head Harry - Fat Sam - you name it - and there could be cameos from current Footy Stars and storylines that reflect real problems within football / life.
I can see the teaser poster - the three of them lined up in the wall, eyes filled with terror in a foggy empty stadium wearing full kit seen between the legs of a High Heeled stunner lining up the free kick like the poster for 'For Your Eyes Only'

'For your eyes only'
We are miles apart here. Ok, lets get some solids put in place.
The still of this moment when facing them. I can't believe I have a gif and not what I want.
Crossed with this...
Keeping the down and out Scots angle going all the same. See, I was listening earlier.
So far as actresses go, Daryl Hannah I feel is something of a must, shes gagging for the work and provides a bit of Hollywood that'll wind the other past it former glamour pusses right up. Can't beat that in studio edgyness.
I envision them rocking up at a former managers funeral, loads of stories about being overlooked, not making the national side and then bitching about those that did.
I also feel the ref should be upstairs, to keep the hierarchy going, and also because you have him as a bit foreign, we can have him not understanding modern plumming, so occasionally he tips "swill" off his balcony, which obviously splashes all over Dicky's old shirts drying on the line... queue "not the first time he's pished all over my dreams, my loves, my shirt"....
How can we get them to grow, does one end up singing a song at the end of some comedic football oriented friday night show? Re-release of awful 80's pop chart assault? Rallying round successful former team mate battling through losing his last few million on the horses....
The more I think about this, the more legends of old are coming to the fore. It's gold.
