You will notice that the sloughtownfc.net profile has former Wikipedia sub-sections "Sheffield United", "A Preston hero", "Non-League" placed randomly throughout the profile. Not sure exactly when it was copy-pasted, but you can see the heading titles in action on the Wikipedia article here.
The article was created back on Wikipedia in October 2006, and we can see some of the phrases copied verbatim were present then, such as "Although Brazil and Atkins couldn't stop Preston from being relegated they did make enough of an impact to secure a permanent £25,000 joint move to Deepdale".
The paragraph "Brazil retired after the conclusion... over a five week period" was added in October 2007.
Just a brief investigation by me, but as you can see shows that the copied phrases were added years apart by different users, and headings that only make sense on Wikipedia appear randomly in the sloughnetfc article.
