Tim Tenerife Template (born 1 January 1985) is a Templatonian^{[note 6]} professional footballer who plays as a striker for Templatonia Premier League club Template City and the Templatonia national team.

Template was born in TempTown and played youth football with Template Juniors and Template Youth before starting his professional career with Template United. After moving to Template Rangers in 2009, and following a loan spell at Example, Template moved to Template City in 2012.

Template won 99 caps with the Templatonia national team.

Template was born in Temp City. His father was a champion curler and his mother was a semi-professional badminton player.^[1]

Depending on the player's nation of origin, a section titled "College career" may be more appropriate, if their significant play before turning professional was at the college or university level, rather than the youth or academy level.

If the player has only played at club level, without having played internationally or been a manager, name the section "Career". If they have also been a manager, name the section "Playing career"; per this discussion.

As of match played 15 July 2015^[2]

Note that:

• inappropriate columns can be omitted, e.g. if the player has never played in a country with a League Cup competition, or in a Continental competition;
• per this RfC, notes can be added next to "National cup" and "League cup" in the header, to indicate the list of cup competitions associated to the clubs the player has played for. In case a player has only played under one league system (for example, only in Portugal), "National cup" and "League cup" can be replaced by the specific names of the cup competitions (in Portugal's case, Taça de Portugal and Taça da Liga), without the need for notes;
• per this talk page discussion, a column named "State league" can be added to players who appeared in Brazilian football;
• assists columns are against consensus, and should not be included (and should be removed if they are already in an article);
• ideally, each row should be individually sourced. If this is not done, reference(s) for the entire table should appear within this section;
• some FAQs are answered and examples linked at this talk page discussion;
• as to repetition of league division, this thread suggests that, while "there is a slight advantage in accessibility when you repeat cells, rather than rowspanning them", "our readers won't be disadvantaged noticeably if we don't repeat every cell that contains duplicate data".

As of match played 19 November 2019^[4]
