Thanks for the link! edit
Thanks for the link, I have included it in the article as an external link.
Here is some information about adding sources: WP:CITE.
Unfortunately, the link that you provided is considered a "primary/first party source" - one that has been created by someone closely affiliated with the subject of the article (his football club). As such, it is of somewhat limited value, see WP:SELFPUB. In order to demonstrate notability required to keep the article from being deleted, you will need to find a reliable third party source, such as a respected (not tabloid) newspaper or an interview/profile on the BBC or in a national magazine or in a book (probably too early in his career for a book to include him).
Most of the links you find using a news.google.com search or their archives (except for the blogs) count as reliable third party sources. You could also try books.google.com.
Let me know if you have further questions. Active Banana (talk) 23:54, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
