No evidence that this guy even existed, despite an apparent sixteen year career. I didn't put this as a speedy as an afd allows for those with access to specialist sources to check that he does exist. Echetus Xe 11:30, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note: He is absent from this list.--Echetus Xe 11:34, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - if he was ever on the books of Crystal Palace then he never actually played for the first team. Delete unless someone can provide evidence that he a) existed and b) played professionally for anyone else. I find it beyond implausible that he would have spent SIXTEEN seasons with the same club without ever being picked to play for the first team, so if he did exist he must have spent time elsewhere -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:06, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete non-notable footballer, perhaps even made up, as nom said. DARTH SIDIOUS 2 ^(Contact) 16:55, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment a quick check at home last night in Barry Hugman's "Football League Players' Records 1946-1984" reveals that the only Mick/Mike/Michael Rose to play professional football in England between those dates played in the late 1960s. Therefore this Mick Rose either never played professionally or never even existed. -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:09, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as non-notable and a possible hoax. J Mo 101 (talk) 20:52, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
