Danny has been though some life changing events recently, will this effect his form on the pitch? This season was never going to be easy for the Skipper after the trauma of the play off final which are still fresh in the memories of himself and his surviving teammates Ryan and Tyson.

Always the family man and nothing like the usual playboy footballers, you would never expect Danny Sullivan to play away from home so to speak, But his affair with club secretry Amy Kerrigan is rumbled by Chloe MacKay and made public which looks very bad on Amy and Dannys wife leaves him and doesnt let him see the twins. Danny takes this very badly and it affects his mental state and his football, Under the new brief regieme of Lawrie Hannigan and Vincent Burns Danny is temporarily stipped of his captaincy as he hits a new low telling them to "stick it".

After guiding his team to the League Cup Final and an emotional return to The Millenium Staidum, Danny captains the team into a tough final against a Chelsea side who are favourites, Disaster strikes as Sully himself scores an unfortunate own goal in the dying minutes to gift the game to Chelsea, No one blames Sully and they all embrace in the changing room showing how much team spirit there is. Only acheiving a mid table finish in the first season back in the premiership is overshadowed by 2 Cup Finals, Thats right Harchester reach the FA cup final and the night before, none of the players can sleep so they start playing table tennis in the early hours of the morning, Confident in his own ability Sully puts his armband on the line to the winner, Sully loses but he doesnt mind as later on that afternoon his friend Tyson nets the winner and Sully lifts the FA Cup high above his head, This is for everyone who couldnt be there.

Danny sadly reaches the end of his career as a footballer as he suffers an injury to his knee whilst on loan to Southend. Danny blames Jimmy Craig for sending him to Southend in the first place, and when Jimmy stops Danny from getting a "quick fix" operation on his knee, Danny only has one thing on his mind... revenge!

Known as "Dragonslayer", Danny is always one step ahead, always in the right place at the right time to discover the latest inside gossip and scandal.

About to set him alight, Amy finds them in just enough time to convince Danny out of finishing them all off!
