From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hacky GDFL notice: This page has been at the locations Luther Blissett and Luther Blissett, multiple name during its lifetime. Please see those articles' Page Histories to determine authorship. Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 23:30, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I changed this bit:

Another theory is that the name comes from the fact that Luther Blissett was purchased by AC Milan due to Milan scouts confusing him with the arguably more talented John Barnes.

to this:

Another theory is that the name comes from the claim sometimes made in footballing circles that Luther Blissett was purchased by AC Milan due to Milan scouts confusing him with the arguably more talented John Barnes.

as while football fans sometimes claim that Milan signed Blissett by "mistake" there is absolutely no evidence that it is a "fact"

I think this should be cut from the entry. There is no truth in it what so ever, and it boarders on the raceist assuming Milan's scouts couldn't tell one black player from another. Djarra 15:11, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
