Stephen Rubeo
Hoax/joke article, the person doesn't exist. 22 google hits for "Stephen Rubeo", none about a football (soccer) player, which wouldn't be very good for a former Serie A player. - Bobet 14:01, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

This is not a joke article at all. He was only a Serie A player for 6 games. If you google AC Perugia in 2002/2003, you won't find much information to begin with. He is a real player, he wasn't one of the greats, but he was a player. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Donrocco3 (talk • contribs)
 * Delete. There are plenty of comprehensive sites for footballers. If he had played one minute of one game he'd show up. The photoshopped ("Image Alchemy" actually) newspaper doesn't help. Fan1967 15:35, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. The newspaper front page is modified from La Gazetta Dello Sport edition of 19 June 2006, three years after Rubeo's alleged career. All the headlines except the Rubeo one are from this week. Fan1967 16:19, 22 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete -- Hoax. -- GWO
