Talk:Isaac Vassell

Relation to Darius

This article says that Isaac Vassell is Darius Vassell's cousin, but a check of Darius Vassell indicates that that article says that Isaac is Darius' nephew. Which is it? Lenzar (talk) 00:24, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

There are sources for both, but (I'm generalising a bit here) sources who have spoken with either player have cousin, whereas the ones for nephew are often brief media/website pieces written from stock sources or else stats databases, like the one in the Darius Vassell article. Some examples of cousin sources:

three years ago, Isaac was playing for his hometown club, a small club in a small town in Cornwall: this is a Q&A from an edition of that club's matchday programme;

detailed profile on Cornwall-based newspaper website;

interview with Isaac on Birmingham City FC website from when he joined that club, local rivals of the club Darius played for;

Birmingham-based newspaper website interview with Darius headlined "This is what Darius Vassell thinks about his cousin joining Birmingham City".
