[edit] Move to Tony Adams

I think he's more notable than the other two Tony Adamses and therefore he should be moved to the main article and have a link to the disambiguation. Yonatanh 01:37, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Definetly - the other two are very minor.

[edit] Full name

His full name is Tony Alexander Adams, not Anthony.

Source: his Autobiography. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.202.117.237 (talk) 22:45, 2 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Daughters date of birth

According to his autobiography "Addicted", his daughter Amber was born on 26th January 1995, not 1994. I have also included on this page the incidents that Adams got involved in during his drinking days. Clare was not Adams's daughter but born from a relationship Jane had with someone else. He writes that Oliver was a "Step-brother for Clare".

Adams did suffer a prolonged period of being disrespected as a player, earning the "donkey" tag which was used even by his own fans early in his career. His stature was immense in the mid part and latter part of his career though, as he grew as a professional and a man. I think the fact that he was not always seen as a 'great' but earned that status over a long period is worth accentuating.

[edit] England captain 92-96

Tony Adams did not share England captaincy with Platt in the years 92-96. Stuart Pearce was captain for England 92-94. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.225.120.74 (talk • contribs).
