This article looks very reasonable but, upon closer examination, appears to be a hoax. The references don't check out -- they lead to the correct pages, but this individual's name isn't listed where it should be listed. As well, it suggests that this individual's professional football career began at age 13, which is highly unlikely. If someone has more relevant information, I'm prepared to be convinced, but I do think this is just a hoax. I would have deleted it as nonsense, but it's so thoroughly done, I want this gone for good via AfD. Accounting4Taste: talk 21:51, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Google finds nothing; searching the site of the football club he's supposed to play for finds no results. I agree that this looks to be a hoax. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 23:31, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. I agree that it is likely a hoax as my search on a different search engine also did not turn up any results.  Sincerely, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 21:33, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
