It seems unlikely that a British academic, specialising in the Renaissance period, with a pretty productive life, is also an Egyptian football commentator/analyst and players' agent. Has there been some confusion between two different people? There is already an entry for an Egyptian football player called Islam Issa, but born in 1996, so unlikely to be the commentator quoted by The Observer in 2012. If there's no evidence that the British academic and the Egyptian commentator are the same person, I think we should delete the football references.
