DT Cameos>> Theo Paphitis

 

 

Theo Paphitis makes an unexpected visit to The Dragon's Lair shortly into the 2000-01 season, in his capacity as chairman of Millwall FC. He informs Lynda and Prash of a claim he is making for compensation for their former player Campbell Hooper, who had spent his career from the age of twelve with the club, and moulded into the player now in the Harchester side. Theo puts forward a package of £850K, approaching them out of courtesy as if he goes to the FA it could rise to over a million. In order to raise the funds, the result is the sale of Wes Kingsley to Birmingham City, not wanting to lose Harchester hero Karl Fletcher or the more valuable Scott Lucas striker-wise.

 

Theo's appearance comes as DT moved its base, and Harchester United's on-screen home, from Watford FC’s Vicarage Road to Millwall FC’s The Den, where Paphitis was chairman until 2005. Also within the DT world, his daughter Zoe Paphitis played HUFC receptionist Zoe from Seasons 3-6.
