WP:V--Another historical Irish footballer that I can't find reliable sources for, the FAI Cup team win might make him notable, but not without verification. A common name, there's a passing reference in a 1999 Irish Times article to a player with the same name who appears to be a different player. But additional sources are welcome, as always. joe deckertalk to me 16:59, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment - It should be noted that this person was active before Irish news was published widely online, so the GNG might be more difficult to establish. I have found a source (The Irish Times, not available without subscription) via ProQuest that says that he was being considered for the FAI cup final, although frustratingly, I can't verify that he did play in that final. I am not convinced that he meets the GNG, as the sources I have seen are not about him, but rather mention him in the context of the clubs he was a member of. I accept that he fails WP:NFOOTBALL, as the FAI league was probably not professional at that time. Quasi human  &#124;  Talk  19:03, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
