Hmmmm, whoever wrote this article likes Wayne Carey very much. I perceive him as a dishonest, cheating man and I'm sure many Australians do after his fall from grace.

This article is kind of undersourced, and is written by a fan of his footballing abilities (I think it underrates the belief in some quarters that he was a dirty player). On his extracurricular activities, they are noted, as was the brouhaha surrounding them. Frankly, though, cheating on your wife rates by far the lesser moral failings attributed to sportspeople over the years. What did you expect - an article about Wayne Carey, a famous adulterer who just happens to have been a professional footballer? --Robert Merkel 11:04, 28 February 2006 (UTC)this sucks

Both points are well made - I guess that he is fair more famous for his extra-marital exploits than his footballing skills, particularly amongst Australians who aren't dedicated fans of the game. --Gil-Galad

Do you guys really think he would be a famous adulterer had he not been a professional footballer ? He would probably have just been a yobbo from Wagga. --Rulesfan 03:43, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Joining North Melb?

Born = 1971; Joined NM = 1984? 13 years old????? Anubis1975 11:08, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

I checked the Kangaroos site, apparently he joined in 1989 [1]. The Kangaroos' website is pretty amateur-hour stuff, I have to say. --Robert Merkel 13:23, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
