He started at Harchester United as a schoolboy, then played in the reserves team. He broke into the first team after the clubs first season in the Premiership . To his team-mates and friends, he was known simply as Fletch. EARLY LIFE AT HARCHESTER At the end of the first season, he was suspended after being found to have taken Cocaine . From then on, he was part of the furniture at Harchester, until the end of the third series, when he was on his best form, helping Harchester to the FA Cup , having defeated Manchester United . His form did not go unnoticed, and in a big move, he joined Real Majorca . Karl spent several months in Spain until he realised he wasn't happy there, and arranged for a transfer back to Harchester. In this second spell at Harchester, he fell in love with Lynda Block , and they had an on-off affair for several years. At one point he asked her to marry him, but she declined by laughing in his face. ACCUSED OF MURDER At the end of the fourth series, owner Prashant Dettani was found murdered in the board room. In the build up to this event, Prash had been aggravating Fletch, which to those outside indicated a motive for Fletch killing Prash. To further compound this, Fletch had just been sent off in the game. Angry at this, he punched the tunnel wall, making his hands bleed. All of this led to Fletch being accused of Prash's murder, which he had to go through a trial for. He was found guilty of murder, but at that point, Lynda Block admitted that she killed Prash, and Fletch was innocent. FIGHT AGAINST PATRICK He was involved in the coach crash at the end of the sixth series on the way to the UEFA Cup final, and spent several months in hospital. Whislt in hospital, he met Abi Fletcher (maiden name unknown), whom he fell in love with and married. This was at the start of the sixth series, when Patrick Doyle became manager. Karl discovered Patrick's plan to relegate Harchester, and became the prime fighter against it. This included a stunning performance where Karl scored a hat-trick against Patrick's wishes, who thought he had brought him on board to help Harchester get relegated. In the ongoing fight, Karl was voted Dragon of the Year by the supporters, but on the same night he had his drink spiked with Cocaine . This was part of a plot, as Patrick later had a drugs test conducted, making Karl ineligible to play. All the while this was going on, Karl did not realise that it was his best friend, Jamie Parker who was the main person helping Patrick. When Jamie died, Karl was at first reluctant to forgive him, but after hearing all of the evidence, he realised that Jamie was manipulated against his will. He later delivered a moving eulogy at Jamie Parker 's funeral, Quote; "We will beat Everton, and we will stay in the premiership...and we will do it for you, Jamie". Karl had a son, Louie Block through his affair with Lynda Block , because Lynda Block was incarcerated, she let Karl and Abi look after him. MOVE TO SAUDI ARABIA Karl had had money troubles throughout the sixth series, although he was on in excess of £20,000 per week, his extravagant lifestyle and crippling tax bills led him to struggle. When new superstar Luke Davenport arrived at the Dragon's Lair , Karl was no longer needed. He took the opportunity to move to Saudi Arabia, playing football over there for large sums of money in order to solve his money troubles. This meant leaving his wife Abi behind with his son Louie Block, appointing team-mate Marcel Sabatier to look after them. This later led to problems, as Marcel and Abi became closer, eventually sleeping together. When Karl found out about this, he ended the relationship with Abi. LAST STINT AT HARCHESTER In 2004 after Dean Boyle had asked for Fletch's help in buying Gabriel Batistuta , because he was friendly with him. The deal with Batistuta never materialised and after promising a big-name signing for the Harchester fans, Dean Boyle had to recruit an overweight and unfit Fletch for yet another stint in Harchester. Fletch had a new girlfriend this time - Gina Moliano - sister of ex-Harchester player, Eddie Moliano . Karl never got on with Harchester's manager at the time, Don Barker , and after weeks of build up, Fletch was murdered by Don in the changing room of the Dragon's Lair...with the help of a coat hanger. His body was found in the back of Don's BMW at the Millennium Stadium and when Don drove the car into the Harchester team bus, Fletch's corpse was incinerated.
