- As someone unfamiliar with these football leagues, can it be explained what type of league he plays in? Is it an amateur league? Leebo T/C 13:44, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
- His current team, Sutton United, and his former team, Yeading, both play (or played in Yeading's case, as they are defunct) in semi-professional leagues i.e. the players do receive some form of monetary remuneration for playing but also have day jobs ChrisTheDude 13:52, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
- I'm more familiar with baseball. From what I've seen, a lot of minor league baseball players have articles as professional athletes, even though many of them will never reach their Major League affiliate's team and the contracts for minor league players is often insufficient to fully support them financially. In any case, I suppose I'll try to find some sources for Nicky Greene; if sources can be found, it wouldn't matter what level he plays at. If I can't find any, then I'd be in support of deleting the article. Leebo T/C 14:22, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
