Season Three of the sex-driven British drama (?) series Footballers' Wives begins as the characters react to the simultaneous deaths of Jason Turner, volatile captain of the Earls Park Sparks football team, and Chardonnay Lane, the anorexic former-model wife of Jason's teammate Kyle Pascoe. (Gary Lucy) With his life and career in ruins, Kyle drifts into a life of crime (and bare-knuckled boxing), while Jason's promiscuous widow Tanya Turner (Zoe Lucker), always looking out for her best interests, weds team owner Frank (John Forgeham)--and never mind that she tried to bump him off two seasons before. On the verge of selling his bankrupt ball club, Frank reconsiders after signing dynamic new manager Roger Webb (Jesse Birdsall). Also, the team picks up a brace of exciting new players, Conrad Gates (Ben Price) and Harley Lawson (Jamie Davis). Conrad is married to ambitious Bollywood starlet Amber (Laila Rouass), who'll do anything to advance her own career, even staging her own kidnapping (though it's equally possible that the snatch was pulled off by the Chinese mafia hoods who've been chasing Conrad and Amber all over the world). As for Harley, he takes as his bride the loopy Shannon (Sarah Barrand), who never met a facelift that she's didn't like. And not surprisingly, Tanya develops a bad case of the hots for both Conrad and Harley, leading to some nasty confrontations with their respective wives. But as the season closes, Tanya's malevolent machinations backfire on her thanks to a fiendishly vengeful Amber. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
