Blast from the past: The Hurricanes (cartoon)
I came across the following recently and thought it may bring about some nostalgic memories among a section of my readership. For those of a certain age you may remember The Hurricanes cartoon from the mid-1990s (see above). It was about a football club (or "soccer club" as they would call it) and for some surreal reason was voiced by American voice actors. To be honest with you, I vaguely remember watching the cartoon on a few occasions (I think they also launched a computer game). However the cartoon was so obscure that I can't name any of the main characters. The cartoon's launch coincided with the rise of the English Premier League and also overlapped with USA 94. Was it a clever ploy to capitalise on the rising popularity of football/soccer in the 1990s? or a random coincidence? You decide. Either way the cartoon was phased out very quickly and nothing of the football-cartoon-sort has really come about since.
