Mark Bailey (rugby union) → Mark Bailey (historian) – As the page clearly attests, this person played rugby, yes, at a highly competitive level, whilst a student at Cambridge University, between 1983 and 1990. This was an extracurricular activity not a main profession. Bailey was trained as a medieval historian, obtaining his PhD at Cambridge in 1987, at the same time as his competitive playing. Since then he has worked as a historian, first at Cambridge, now at the University of East Anglia. Ie he played rugby (yes, at a notable level!) competitively for 7 years and has worked as an academic for 40 years, including serving as master of a top rated school in London, Saint Paul’s. The page already includes the relevant links for his current and older affiliations. You can confirm the dates of his competitive rugby playing here http://en.espn.co.uk/england/rugby/player/9657.html. The introduction gives links to his current academic endeavors, including being invited to lecture in probably the most famous and respected history lecture series at Oxford University, the Ford Lectures! His current book is coming out as part of that series, which has produced some of the most influential books in English history. He is competing at the top of academia and Wikipedia identifies him by his athletic endeavors of a few years 30 years ago? This is actually damaging to his current professional reputation (this is not him writing, otherwise the discussion of rugby would be more knowledgeable.
