The BBC show Footballers Wives is a fictional account of the private lives of soccer players, starring Gillian Taylforth (pictured). It has become a hit in England, and as with just about any hit show in England, American producers are looking to rip it off. The planned American show will be called Football Wives and will center, this time, around the private lives of American football players. It was initially slated to be broadcast on ABC, but after the NFL raised a fuss, ABC dropped those plans. Source: Michael David Smith, NFL Fanhouse
