[edit] Giovanni Drenthe

According to the lead, "Drenthe's younger brother, Giovanni, plays international football for Suriname." There are two questions that arise about this in my mind. 1) Is this appropriate for the lead and 2) Does anyone have a source for this? The Surinamese national team's page doesn't have Giovanni listed as of May 2007, but it doesn't seem very well maintained and a quick Google search shows that a Giovanni Drenthe scored on August 19, 2006 for Suriname U-16 against St Vincent and Grenadines U-16 and that he's got a Dutch wiki page. So he exists, but Giovanni certainly doesn't have an English Wikipedia page; should he be mentioned in the opening? Perhaps just in a "Personal Life" section?

The Dutch wiki states that Giovanni plays for the Suriname youth teams, not the main squad. It should not be in the intro, in any case. JACOPLANE • 2008-02-12 13:38
