First Regular Appearance: 9.14 (#370) The Man in the White Suit Last Regular Appearance: 9.31 (#387) Salt Of The Earth Duration: EP: 370 - 387 | SE: 9.14 – 9.31 Squad Number/Position: #10 (Striker) Last Seen: In the team that win Harchester the FA Cup for only the second time in history. Sold to Bayern Munich that summer. Ramon Hector Rodriguez Patricio Da Silva for his full name, was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1982, and followed his country's assemble of future talent by playing on the Brazilian streets in his youth. Hector was signed to Botafogo F.C and in his early 20's had naively signed with a double-dealing British agent, Jackson Turner. During the January transfer window in 2006, Jackson removed Hector from Brazil against his will, with the plan to send him to a far more lucrative club in Moscow. They arrive at East Midlands Airport on a stop-over, where Hector learns Jackson is in Harchester as he also represents its new manager Lawrie Hannigan, and absconds from his minder. Hector tries Lynda Block for help but she mistakes him for an attacker. When Lynda realises how Hector is being forced into going to Russia, she uncovers how Hector's contract with Botafogo is void so Jackson has no hold over him. After letting Hector slip away, he finds a place with non-league Brazilian Showsport F.C, where he is spotted by Bolton Wanderers who quickly snap him up. When Lawrie Hannigan learns of this, he accuses Bolton of stealing his Harchester player! Having Hector's word that he was with Harchester, plus his work permit, Bolton have little choice but to release him back to the Dragons. The "transfer" goes deeper though - with Lynda owing some dangerous Russian figures £10M pounds when they claim to own Hector from the previous Moscow deal, and the mystery Harchester owner has to bail her out. Hector has an impressive start for the club, scoring on his debut, but soon is struggling with the pressures of a Premier League club's training routine. The team have little patience with Hector, who clashes with Ryan Naysmith, and the two come to blows until Ashleigh King has had enough and makes Ryan accommodate Hector at Studs. Soon Hector is Ryan's only support in the team when he comes between Gavin and fiancée Cindi. After being put out of the game for several weeks due to a bad tackle by Asa Maloin, Hector is back in the first team to face Arsenal in the FA Cup final. Following this victory, he gains selection for Brazil's World Cup campaign in Germany, the result of which he meets with Bayern Munich, finalising a deal in another £10M transfer for Hector and Harchester United. |
