Talk:Steve Finnan

message: If he didn't join Liverpool until the summer of 2003, he has not won the UEFA Cup.  Is the trivia incorrect or badly worded?  Should it say played in all those competitions rather than won them?
steve finnan is the best right back in the premiership and should be picked over stephen carr for ireland.
Is Steve Finnan born on April 24 or April 20? My match programme from a Liverpool FC game lists his D.O.B. as April 20 but the main body of the article has his D.O.B. as April 24. The text beneath the photo then says April 20? Suggest April 20 is the correct date? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.41.236.204 (talk • contribs) .
:His DOB is listed as 24 April 1976 at his official squad profile page. -- Alias Flood 00:04, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

message: "He is very proud of his Irish nationality and he has alluded to this fact in many interviews. He is particularly proud of the fact that he comes from Limerick City and is known to travel back to Limerick to see relations frequently during the off-season. "
is this really necessary? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.37.82.105 (talk • contribs) 13:46, 4 July 2006
:Hmm. It does seem a little bit pointless to me. aLii 13:59, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This article is about the person Steve Finnan and, therefore, I think that it has a relavency, albeit a minor one. -- Alias Flood 15:40, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

text: I'll expand then. Being proud or not of one's nationality could be entered into every biographical article on wikipedia. Unless the person is famous for being outspoken about nationality then I'd say it's irrelevant. Ian Wright is obviously a very passionate Englishman (or at least that's how he comes across on TV) but it isn't mentioned in his article. There isn't even a citation to back the above "fact" up. One could go through the entire Irish squad and insert the same info - should we? I think it should be removed as irrelevant. aLii 16:04, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Allow me to expand ... I have no knowledge whatsoever of Finnan's degree of patriotism but this extract intimated (to me) that he is especially patriotic. Admittedly there is no source which is unfortunate and this makes it 'deletable' but I would not want to delete something that is true and might be of some relevance to some researcher/reader. I do not recall ever seeing him interviewed but if he alludes to his patriotism with the regularity that this entry suggests, I feel that we should keep it in — perhaps in a shortened form. As for Ian Wright, I did not realise that he is an English patriotic enthusiast. I have heard his passion expressed only in terms of the England football team which is something different altogether. -- Alias Flood 16:26, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

text: How about moving it into the article proper rather than being the second fact a reader will see? He certainly isn't especially famous for being patriotic, he's famous for being a footballer. aLii 16:29, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that it should not have the prominence or length that it enjoys at the present time. Perhaps we could shorten it to him just alluding to his Irish patriotism many times in interviews. The fact that he travels regularly to see relatives is just fodder as this will apply to pretty well everybody. -- Alias Flood 16:56, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
