football players with unaccountably lengthy wikipedia articles

McMinn was a sort of cult figure with Rangers' fans so I'm not surprised he has a lengthy wiki entry

After retiring from football, Arphexad went back to the island of Guadeloupe. He played a extra in the first 4 episodes of the Guadeloupean sitcom Phoenix firehouse, He has also directed many low budget Guadeloupean films and is set to play a staring role in Human Centipede 3

He'll need to be at the front then.

Partick Thistle

After returning to Huddersfield Town, Higginbotham failed to establish himself in the first team, and was subsequently released from his contract.[7] He signed for Scottish Premiership side Partick Thistle on a two year deal on 8 August 2013.[8] Two days later he made his Partick Thistle debut in a 3–1 victory over Ross County where he had two goals controversially disallowed for offside.[9] He made his home debut for Thistle in a 1–1 draw with Heart of Midlothian. Higginbotham scored his first goal for the Jags on 31 August 2013 in a 2–1 comeback win over St.Mirren in Paisley. Higginbotham is a very audacious player as he hit the crossbar straight from kick-off away to Aberdeen. Kallum scored his first home goal for the jags with an overhead kick wonder goal against Kilmarnock after 3 minutes, the game finished 1-1 after Killie scored a 90th minute equaliser from a rebounded penalty which Paul Gallacher saved. Higginbotham is renowned for having a great standing jump for such a small footballer. Higginbotham is a very skilful player with great flair.

The Professional Footballers' Association Team of the Year (often called the PFA Team of the Year, or simply the Team of the Year) is an annual award given to a set of 44 footballers in the top four tiers of English football; the Premier League, the Championship, League One and League Two, who are seen to be deserving of being named in a "Team of the Year". Peter Shilton currently holds the most appearances in the PFA Team of the Year in the top division with 10 appearances. Steven Gerrard currently holds the most appearances in the PFA Team of the Year in the Premier League era with 7 appearances.

Oxford United's Damian Batt, who was named in the Team of the Year for League Two in 2011, said he was "very pleased to be given such a prestigious award. It is something that I am very proud of".[4]

He made his return at Port Vale on 14 March, despite having taken little part in training in the preceding week.[44] Port Vale were a team with a physically robust approach, and used the muddy conditions to their advantage.[45] Kinkladze was played out of position on the right wing, much to his displeasure,[46] and gave a performance that the Manchester Evening News summarised as "barely noticeable".[47] Vale defeated City 2–1, and Royle severely criticised Kinkladze for a lack of effort, dropping him for the next six games.[46]

this year's Escobar sewn up then

oh, I posted that! flag me

that reminds me of this

Commentating on the Argentina-Romania match in the 1994 World Cup, Hansen said that "the Argentine defender warrants shooting for a mistake like that". The previous day, Colombian defender Andrés Escobar had been shot dead, a killing widely attributed to punishment for an own goal Escobar scored in Colombia's 2–1 loss to the United States earlier in the same tournament. The BBC issued a public apology for Hansen's poor choice of words.[27]

the most amazing part of that snippet is the word 'punishment'

the other day i was trying to find out what happened to wayne brown, the leicester defender who was swiftly moved on after he voted for the bnp

couldnt find anything past 2011, lower league defenders dont so much retire as drift off the face of the earth

anyway i like that there has to be a disambiguation because two wayne browns (footballer) were born in 1977

same as ben watson (footballer), two of whom two were born in 1986

sadly yet to find two footballers of the same name born in the same month

So what is the job situation now?

I was offered a chance of a year at Plymouth, but I turned it down as I knew the baby would be arriving, and I did not want to put my career ahead of my personal life. You don’t want to miss the early days and months of your daughter’s life so I decided to knock football on the head. I also had so many niggly injuries in my last year at Preston that it helped the decision. I didn’t see eye to eye at Hull with Phil Brown, so when he became the Preston manager it cemented my decision.

So I knocked it on the head to spend some quality time with the family.

Day to day now I am a property manager for my mother in law’s rental firm in Ipswich. We have just over 500 properties on the books and I work is to look after these properties in terms of inspections and tenants and so on.

I must admit I have found it hard. Going from training with 30 lads each day to working with three middle aged women in an office has been tough. It’s been a tough transition but I accept you have to earn a living.

I’m also doing a little bit of coaching so there may be an opportunity to get back involved with the game a little bit next year.

Well good luck with everything Wayne, thanks for your time.

No probs, thanks for inviting me on to your website.
