Original reason for PROD removed. The footballer has never played in a fully-professional match. Fails WP:ATHLETE and the sources provided from the Dorset Echo are purely trivial. I barely consider the 3rd level of English football notable - this guy played in the 6th! Vintagekits (talk) 13:16, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment, yes, loads of sources - but they all say he played in the 6th tier of English football infront of crowds of 50! oh yeah - and he played with Theo Walcott as a kid - you dont become notable by association. The sources are merely local paper dross, reports local matches.--Vintagekits (talk) 13:22, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • You're scraping the barrell there claiming the reports are dross and crowd figures (which are clearly inaccurate). He is the main subject of at least two articles passing WP:GNG. --Jimbo[online] 13:37, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
