"Ted Lasso" Characters Quiz | Ted Lasso

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Originally on loan from Manchester city, which arrogant young striker learns valuable lessons about teamwork and decency from Coach Ted?

Answer: Jamie Tartt

Jamie is immensely talented but selfish and egotistical, putting his own personal glory ahead of the team's, mainly due to his father's harsh disposition towards him. He is on loan to AFC Richmond from Premier League contenders Manchester City, and is recalled midway through the first season. Upon returning to Manchester City, he takes Ted's advice and gives the assist that effectively relegates AFC Richmond to the lower tier of English Football at the end of season 1.

2. Which recent divorcee is the new owner of AFC Richmond?

Answer: Rebecca Walton

Rebecca receives the club as compensation for her divorce from her wealthy husband, Rupert Mannion, mainly to get back at him, knowing how much he loves the club. She then hires Ted, an American football coach with no knowledge of the English game, in order to further upset her husband by leaving the club he loves so much in shambles.

3. Which rough and perpetually angry veteran midfielder used to play with Chelsea, and finds himself struggling to get to terms with the end of this career?

Answer: Roy Kent

Roy Kent is based on real-life footballer "Roy Keane", the Irish no-nonsense captain of Manchester United. Kent is nearing the end of his career, and struggling with the fact that arrogant striker Jamie has more physical stamina than he does. As the series progresses and Roy eventually retires, he finds his niche in coaching.

4. Which former kit man is promoted to Assistant Coach by Ted?

Answer: Nathan Shelley

Nathan Shelley is initially the often-bullied, incredibly timid AFC Richmond kit man. After taking his advice, Ted realizes that Nathan has a strong football mind and promotes him to Assistant Coach. Despite this, Nathan finds himself angry at Ted for taking all the credit for the club's eventual success, and works hard to undermine him.

5. When the series opens, which model is dating a member of the team?

Answer: Keely Jones

Keely is a popular and beautiful model who is dating Jamie, a footballer several years her junior. After the two have several arguments, they eventually break up and she finds herself interested in the kind heart of openly abrasive Roy Kent. Eventually, the two start dating and she helps him come to terms with his retirement.

6. Which reporter is present at every press conference and famously writes for "The Independent"?

Answer: Trent Crimm

Trent Crimm is known for asking tough questions of Ted Lasso when he first arrives at the club; he is very skeptical of the idea that an American with little to no knowledge of the game can effectively run the team that he covers. Over time, the character was promoted to main billing as he was writing a book about the team in season 3.

7. Who is the former owner of AFC Richmond, who later buys West Ham FC?

Answer: Rupert Mannion

Rupert cheats on his wife Rebecca with a younger woman who shares her name, leading the media to cruelly dub her "Young Rebecca", much to his wife's chagrin. In order to get back at him, she ensures that she gets the club in the divorce and tries to sabotage it while he does his best to stay involved, even placing a bet against Ted on a darts game in order to try and influence the starting lineup. Ted, an excellent player at darts, beats him and Rupert is forced to stay away from the club for the rest of the season as a man of his word.

8. Which sports psychologist was hired in season 2 to help struggling team members?

Answer: Sharon Fieldstone

Dr. Fieldstone immediately makes an impact on the team with her no-nonsense approach. Even though she was initially hired to help Dani Rojas overcome his penalty miss that killed a dog, many members of the team find her helpful. Eventually, even Ted goes to sessions with her to help deal with his recent divorce, his parents, and being away from his son who is living in America with his mother.

9. Which member of the team flirts online with his team's owner and later opens a restaurant?

Answer: Sam Obisanya

Sam Obisanya is initially a young defender, but Ted recognizes his ability as a forward and plays him on the right wing, a decision that later proves fruitful. Unknowingly, he and Rebecca Walton meet on an online app and begin texting explicitly with one another. He is of Nigerian heritage and later opens a Nigerian restaurant in London.

10. Who is Ted's longtime assistant and friend, who joined him in London from the United States?

Answer: Coach Beard

Coach Beard is a rather quiet, intelligent man who calmly supports Ted through his transition. He used to be Ted's assistant when he was a college football coach in America, and seems more interested in learning the game and its nuances than Ted is. He is revealed to have a sordid past, where he abused Ted's trust, but was eventually forgiven.

As a result, his loyalty to Ted and to the team is unwavering.
