Sorry if this a strange post for this subreddit, but I've gotten invested in a bit of a rabbit hole because on an article on the Athletic. They recently published this piece on Faiq Bolkiah, the son of a sultan in Brunei, who had a decent but unremarkable youth career at some top European soccer clubs. It's an okay piece, but comes off almost a bit as an advert for the kid's career, life, and personality.
Here's where stuff gets weird. They reference this guy named Dennis Wallace as being important to his path to and life in London. Originally he was referred to as "former NBA star Dennis Wallace," but that later changed to "former NBA pro Dennis Wallace." This change only occurred, however, because myself and a few other commenters pointed out that we could not find any references to an NBA player named Dennis Wallace, much less a star.
After some digging on Basketball Reference (including all the Dennises and Wallaces), social media, and other sports pubs, here are the theories me and a few other commenters settled on.
- It's actually John Wallace, and for some reason the name is just wrong or he goes by a different one now. This could make sense, since he was in Europe around the right time, but other aspects of his bio don't line up.
- There is a Dennis Wallace on social media someone dug up whose athletic career was a stint playing football for Auburn in the 90s. I haven't been able to find the account they're referring to, but the commenter seemed pretty sure it was him.
- It's Ben Wallace's older brother, whose age I don't think matches up. Ben Wallace is also not attributed to a nephew named Ukasyah, who is referenced as Dennis' son.
- This guy lied to publications when this story was first covered by other outlets and they are all fact-checking from each other. This Bleacher Report article might be the origin of this weird report, and for those who don't have an Athletic subscription, the tenor is pretty similar if you want to understand what their article is saying.
I'm hopeful one of you guys can help me figure this out, mostly because I want to know if I'm right to call BS on the article. I should note that when they made the change of Wallace's title to "former NBA pro," there was no correction note or anything. I really like the Athlet

... keep reading on reddit ➡So we're deep into quarantine and the shitposts are getting more immersive, though I wouldn't call this one a shitpost, more a work of art. What I did is went into a Wikipedia journey, and dug up all the heads of state of each and every country, or more presicely, "leaders whose offices constitutionally administer the executive or legislature of their respective state/government" and then took all the football players who share a name with them. I used both active and retired players, and only players from that respective nation can be used. Also there's only one player for every country. Oh, and in parentheses are the heads of state, not the footballers.
Albania - Valdet Rama (Edi Rama): Out of the two Ramas I found, Valdet is the better one, having played for the likes of Valladolid and Ingolstadt. I think Edi Rama would be quite pleased.
Angola - Luís Lourenço (João Lourenço): Luis played in abunch of European countries, ranging from England to Greece, though he recently retied, last playing in Atletico. No, not Madrid, Atletico Clube de Portugal. Pretty decent for a country like Angola I'd say.
Antigua and Barbuda - Rhys Browne (Gaston Browne): Never really having played outside of England, Rhys is still the pick for Antigua's representative considering there weren't any other Brownes who play football (or so says Wikipedia).
Argentina - Federico Fernández (Alberto Fernández): As you could guess, there are many Fernandezes (or whatever the plural is) in Argentina, so I just typed Fernandez in Google and the first option that it gave me was Federico. Well he's a decent choice, especially compared to the rest, having played in Napoli, Swansea and currently at Newcastle. Pretty good.
Austria - Karl Kurz (Sebastian Kurz): So the only person who I found sharing the name of Austria's leader is older than the Chancellor himself, given that he was born in 1898. So fair to say he's not active currently. Nonetheless he played Austria Wien, among others, so he gets to be here.
Azerbaijan - Nazim Aliyev (Ilham Aliyev): Aliyev is a pretty common surname in Azerbaijan so as with Argentina I had to go and find the first Aliyev google gives me. and it's Nazim. He played in all the big Azeri clubs and even was the top goalscorer one season, but thats all the wiki provided me with.
Bahrain - Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa (Hamad Bin Isa Al Khalifa): Well this

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
They were cooked in Greece.
Intrigued by the stat that Klavan became the first Estonian player to score in the Prem, I decided to do some research about what other countries haven't had a player score in the Prem, and possible players that could score for them (on PL teams).
