[edit] Motto

Tantum faciendum parum dactum (So much to do, so little done.) Cecil Rhodes's last words.

My aim is to create a biography for every player on the List of England international footballers (alphabetical) (and thereby eliminate all the red links) including as much as I can find about their non-football career.
