Position: Receptionist / Chairman’s Secretary

Last Seen: Cheering for the Dragons as they face Man U to gain qualification to the Champions League.

Sandra Greene was a long-term employee of Harchester United, who first worked in the ticket office before rising to club receptionist in the late 90's. In 1999 when Harchester moves from its ground at Addison Road to new stadium The Dragon's Lair, Sandra is promoted to her biggest role of Chairman's secretary, first under Jerry Block. Now more prominent at the club, Sandra is often witness to all the dramatic events that take place in and outside the Chairman's office. When Marilyn Harwood arrives one morning to find her belongings in black bags, Sandra has the awkward duty of telling the ousted Chief Exec that Jerry will "see her in his office".

Lynda Block is someone Sandra admires, and with receptionist Zoe, they are a big support to the troubled Chairwoman as she battles the ruthless Prashant Dattani. In the 2000-01 season, too much Christmas spirit sees Sandra in a regrettable bunk-up with Karl Fletcher! At the end of the season, Fletch gets his chance to be player-manager, a long-held dream, though Sandra's listening-ears overhear Prash making it clear that Fletch's time as boss will not see it past it's first day. When Sandra feels she must tell Fletch of this, her actions result in her ultimately standing in the witness box of Fletch's trial, after he is wrongly charged with Prash's murder. When Lynda reveals she was responsible, Sandra loyally sticks by her boss when many turn against her, and Lynda gratefully makes Sandra and Zoe her matron of honour and bridesmaid respectively at her wedding to Sam Irving.

Although she wouldn't admit to it, due to the competition often between the pair, Sandra's best friend at the club is Nikki Peggs, who is team co-ordinator. Nikki and Sandra love to gossip and giggle at the club's often disastrous and scandalous events, with Sandra knowing Nikki is in love with Chairman Phil Wallis while in turn, Nikki (and everyone else) can see Sandra is madly in love with midfielder Marcel Sabatier. Though it is something she holds out for, it seems Marcel doesn't think of Sandra in the same way. When Nikki is assigned to help worldwide superstar striker Luke Davenport settle into life at Harchester, she implies to Sandra that things went further between she and Luke, resulting in Sandra spreading the word around. This causes Nikki great embarrassment and she is furious when Sandra gets to take over her role as team co-ordinator. When Nikki resigns to begin a career as an agent, Sandra is straight in there for her friend's former role, though she loses to current receptionist Grace Ikema.

While things are rocky between she and Nikki at times, Sandra comes through for her pal when she reveals she is proud of how Nikki got out of the club and made a new career for herself, when Tash Parker is undermining her. With the girl's encouragement at Nikki's engagement party, Sandra plucks up the courage to try her luck with Marcel and gets a huge surprise when he kisses her and leads her to his room. Predictably, Sandra is hurt when Marcel blanks her afterwards. Even though she's annoyed at how he treated her, Sandra still hangs onto her feelings for Marcel, and is heartbroken when news comes through that he has been found dead at Abi's house. After giving her all to Harchester, as they now face Man U to survive and make it to the Champions League, Sandra decides it is time to finally move on.

Lisa Burstow also made an appearance, in between Sandra's development, as a waitress bringing room service to Fletch and Sean at their London hotel before Harchester play Man U at the FA Cup Final in Season 2's finale.
