Overhead and free kick specialist
This article appears to have been created by a new user entirely to bolster a vanity/hoax article John Fullerton, currently well on the way to deletion at Articles for deletion/John Fullerton. The afd has been heavily disrupted by sockpuppets defending Fullerton, a PE teacher in Ireland, as an alleged major footballing and political figure. While overhead kick and free kick obviously exist in soccer, there is no reason to link them in a single article as a joint specialism - except apparently to justify the disputed (and previously redlinked) claim that this Fullerton is one.

 * Delete -- frivolous article created solely for the purposes of AfD campaigning. Demiurge 11:28, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete needless duplication, quite possibly a fork specifically created to make a WP:POINT. Even with a healthy dose of WP:AGF applied this is still redundant. Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 13:48, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete as completely useless. A free kick specialist would be self-defined, overhead kick specialists don't exist and combining the two is a really weak attempt to make a WP:POINT. - Bobet 19:26, 13 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. It's also not good when there's a subheading that appears in the article as a broken link (and everything below it should be deleted on its own as POV if there's not authority asserting "the best"). In fact, I think I'll be bold and do some pruning myself. B.Wind 20:45, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete I've never heard of someone whose sole specialties are these by themselves. Wouldn't be much of a footballer if they were, though. howcheng   [ t &#149; c &#149; w &#149;  e  ] 01:09, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
