- Copy ONLY that number
- Add that ID to the Wikidata item about the player, using P2193
- Add to the external links section the text:
- ((Soccerbase))

- Add to the external links section the text:
- ((Soccerbase|id=#####|name=Name))
- where "#####" is the number you've copied, and "Name" is the person's name
- Searching for "David Beckham", you'll reach this page: https://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=547
- Copy "547" and then write: ((Soccerbase|id=547|name=David Beckham))
Note that, since this will almost certainly go on the external link section, you should add a * before the template text to include it as a list item.
