Notability achieved

He has been on the bench two times for the 1st team therefor qualifying him as a member of the 1st team?? H

I'd concur with the above. He's playing right now in the FA Cup for Man City, which means he is pro. So he must have a professional contract as you can't play youth contract players in full FA comps. D —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.28.178.221 (talk) 16:25, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

He played on 24 January, meeting the following notability criterion: "Have played in a competitive fixture between two fully professional clubs in a domestic, Continental or Intercontinental club competition." Geschichte (talk) 21:38, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

East African

The article states he is the Premier League's first East African player. Leaving aside the fact that his football nationality seems to be Norwegian, East Africa is a fairly imprecise area and it is possible to make a case for Zimbabwe's inclusion. On this basis both Bruce Grobbelaar and Peter Ndlovu would have him beaten by about 18 years. I'll not remove the claim just yet as it is sourced but the accuracy of the source seems debatable.

And come to think of it, if a guy who plays international football for Norway but was born in Somalia counts as East African then so does a guy born in Mozambique who played international football for Portugal. Thus Abel Xavier also came before Abdisalam Ibrahim. Keresaspa (talk) 02:51, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
