Deletion of Dean Bouzanis

Comment: As one of those !voters all I can say to that is . I accept that it  doesn't pass our football rules, I'm just following . In terms of a personal feeling of why it shpuld be kept, is that coming from a country such as Australia, he is much higher profile there, just for having moved to Liverpool, than he is here (where he is just another reserve player).
