• Delete. Not enough to justify an article.--Michig (talk) 10:37, 10 October 2010 (UTC)Keep. Appearances that weren't apparent before indicate notability.--Michig (talk) 17:50, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - a quick Google search would have brought up over 1,000 results, including (on the very first page!) this site which confirms over 150 professional football appearances, meaning he clearly passes WP:ATHLETE...a lazy nomination. GiantSnowman 13:47, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Nomination withdrawn - not lazy, just mistaken. My apologies for the error. Top Jim (talk) 14:05, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - clearly passes our notability guidelines based on his play in fully-pro leagues and large number of sources covering his exploits. Jogurney (talk) 14:47, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
