Fashanu Report[edit]

This needs more discussion. Clearly there's something going on. Here's a more neutral (less editorial) article [1]. Rd232 ^talk 23:56, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should be mentioned, albeit briefly, in his article. The AllAfrica.com here has statements of fact that should be included. Agg56tt (talk) 04:23, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Post-football career - possibly misleading statement[edit]

The Post-football career section starts by saying that "Following retirement from the game through injury, Fashanu became a television presenter. He presented the UK edition of Gladiators alongside Ulrika Jonsson in the 1990s". However the Gladiators article and other sources would suggest that he was co-presenter with Jonsson when the series started in 1992 (which is certainly my own memory). However he did not retire until an injury in 1995, meaning that he was presenting the programme while still playing. Thus it might be better to say something like "Even prior to his retirement from the game through injury, Fashanu was a television presenter. From 1992 he presented the UK edition of Gladiators alongside Ulrika Jonsson." Do other editors think this is a good way forward, or is there a better form of words?
