my question is how do i get to the admin site to show Team_name in the add player form Team_ID field currently it is only showing up as Team object in the combo box

Answer 1

You are almost there, you have commented it out and forgot to call the attribute properly:

def __unicode__(self):
    return self.Team_Name

Read the documentation.

Answer 2

Add a unicode method to the team object:

def __unicode__(self):
    return self.Team_name
