Meets the requirements for new-ness and size, offline citations taken in good faith and an interesting hook at that too! Miyagawa (talk) 21:55, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks - the issue with info about players of this period is that there is little or no information available about them apart from the various club histories / encyclopaedias listed so online verification is always going to be difficult. And yes - I think the club could be described as being slightly annoyed by Cain's actions :) - Cheers Bladeboy1889 (talk) 22:01, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
