I'm not assuming it, I get where you're coming from, but the basic criterion is that he has to have to made his debut from 85 onwards. You may well be right that he did, but in the absence of any definitive info saying when he debuted, how could he possibly be eligible? That lack of definitive info would have to make him ineligible, not eligible, surely?

 

I’ll throw that back at you and say with no information to say he made his debut before 1985 I don’t see how he is ineligible. I don’t agree the B team count as a professional team anyway, but even if they did the only argument to say he played for their B team earlier than 1985 is the above bit on Wiki saying he was with that team from 1984-88. It doesn’t even state where they got that information or mention it in his biography. He would have only been about 16 at the time and was a youth player until at least 1985.

Well all I can say is I disagree... Without any definitive information, a player shouldn't count IMO. The burden of proof should be on the person picking the player to provide that definitive proof.
