The prose is a list of clubs and dates, joined in an incoherent way, with absolutely nothing else. These are facts that Pride of Anglia cannot possibly claim copyright on. WFCforLife (talk) 14:44, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Given User:ChrisTheDude's assistance at Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/Jcuk#Pages 61 through 80 (thanks, Chris :)), I've restored the content. It doesn't take much originality for copyright to exist under the US law that governs Wikipedia. Had this contributor simply copied prose like "From Plymouth he was transferred to Walsall F.C. in March 1978, and thence to Mansfield Town F.C. where he had his career best season, appearing 84 times, and scoring 31 goals", it would be unusable. However, Chris located an archived version of the source, and it seems like the contributor in this instance used the facts in the table to construct his own prose. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:18, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
