I agree that he doesn't meet the criteria of NFOOTY.  But let's make sure we understand one of the fundamentals of the WP:ATHLETE criteria; it is not that they establish whether someone is notable or not, but whether someone can be ''presumed'' to be notable or it can be ''presumed'' that not enough |reliable sources exist to satisfy the GNG.  Someone who satisfies the GNG is notable whether or not he topped out with a 5-minute substitute stint in Conference North.  So the question is this: if he's indeed received substantive nationwide press in Japan, then he passes the GNG.  If no such sources exist, then he neither passes the GNG nor meets the NFOOTY criteria
