Why is this record significant:
- First Roma ("gypsy") player: Raby Howell, March 9, 1895, 9-0 vs. Ireland
The Roma population of Britain is a very tiny minority, and as this is a very early match, it isn't as if this players inclusion came as the result of a long struggle for equality (as with black players), so what makes this particulaly interesting?--Jackyd101 18:25, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- I suppose it's an interesting footnote, as it means that Frank Soo might not be classed as the first "minority" player. I'm not sure it's really worth listing as a separate record though. Actually, I'm not sure it's worth listing Soo either, since wartime football was basically just played to keep up morale, and doesn't have a great deal of significance. — sjorford++ 14:26, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Youngest player
Wasn't the youngest player for the English National Team Manchester Uniteds Wayne Rooney?
- It was, before Theo Walcott's debut a month ago. — sjorford++ 08:56, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Does 'Youngest player to feature at the World Cup finals' include players named in the squad or just starting line-ups and substitutes? If it's the former, Theo Walcott takes this record too. 82.46.190.172 (talk) 18:27, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Most goals
I don't understand
- Most goals in a match
- Howard Vaughton, Steve Bloomer, Willy Hall and Malcolm Macdonald, all 5
Shouldn't they be listed on the next item 'four or more goals? Steve Bloomer scored 14 or something, the context should be given. Jooler 10:43, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Table
The appearances-per-club list I'd like to put in a table, as it'll make it neater, straighter and easier to follow. However, I have little or no knowledge of such constructions. Can anyone volunteer? Bentley Banana 09:54, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Original research
I think this page has strayed rather too far into the realms of original research - the starting eleven by caps table especially. Anyone else have any thoughts? Angmering 11:29, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
