Tony Ford (dab)

I have added a dab link to the page, having just created a page for another footballer named Tony Ford. However I wasn't able to find a birth date for the player in question, making the naming of that article a bit difficult. The conventional distinction of adding (footballer born 19XX) is obviously not possible, nor is distinguishing them by either nationality (both English) or position (both have played as a fullback}.

As it is, I have left what appears to be the more notable Tony Ford (born 1955) here and used the less than satisfactory Tony Ford (footballer) for the new article in the interim - any suggestions to aid/clarify distinction or an improvement to the wording of the dab link would be most welcome.

Inconsistency

I'm a little confused. This BBC article says that Ford played 1000 games, and that Graham Alexander's approaching that mark. We must be working to different criteria than the BBC. Seegoon (talk) 14:22, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
