Believe at Nelson Road

Ted Lasso premiered on Apple TV+ in 2020. Jason Sudeikis plays Ted, an American college football coach from Kansas hired to manage AFC Richmond, a fictional English football club in the Richmond area of London, despite knowing almost nothing about the sport.

Club owner Rebecca Welton hires him hoping he will fail, as revenge against her ex-husband. Ted wins people over with kindness, homemade biscuits and a BELIEVE sign taped above the locker room door. Gruff captain Roy Kent later becomes a coach, and the club crest shows a greyhound.

The character first appeared in 2013 TV ads promoting NBC's coverage of the Premier League. The series won the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series twice. Home matches are played at Nelson Road, and real football clubs and players appear as rivals and cameos.
