Steve Johnson (Daniel Greene) 2003Duration: 291 (6.31) - 293 (7.1), 297 (7.5) - 298 (7.6) When an out-injured Ryan Naysmith feels
out of the loop with the team preparing for the FA Cup final, he meets Steve
who persuades him of the amount of money he could make them from selling his
and any complimentary tickets he can get for the game. When the FA Cup is
forfeited, Steve tells Ryan he has to get him comps for the last game of the
season, or he will tell the club (and notably Stuart) that Ryan is
selling comps that aren't his. Under pressure, Ryan steals Clyde's comps, a set
of four which Steve sells to the Evertonian Boyle family, seating them in
Harchester's home end. The Boyles are ultimately the winners of Phil Wallis's club
raffle giveaway, and Ryan initially offers Steve £25K to keep quiet, but when An on-edge Ryan goes to the canal to give Steve his last
payment, whilst Tony and Dean watch from a distance. When Steve goads that he
will be back the next time for more money, Ryan launches at Steve in a
desperate rage, during which Steve hits his head on the railing. Ryan runs
away, not realising the extent of Steve's injuries, and leaving the money. Tony
picks up the package of cash and drags Dean away as he wants to call an
ambulance. Though Ryan is forced to back up the Boyles to the police in order
to save himself, he is haunted by Steve's death leading to a breakdown and a
spell hospitalised. |
