– Both of these players had a WP:COMMONNAME of "Ed Gallagher," both played American football, and both were Tackles. I can see three different ways to disambiguate these guys, so I'd like more input as to which one is "best." 1. Using year of birth to distinguish (which I dislike since no one would know their birthyear, but it's probably the cleanest). 2. One of the Ed Gallaghers seems to be more notable for his off the field work, so we could use author/motivational speaker/activist as his disambiguator and hatnote to the other one, who would use "American football" since he is soley known as a football player. 3. One of them was both an offensive tackle and defensive tackle, while the other one was solely an offensive tackle. We could use that difference to distinguish (eg: offensive lineman or offensive tackle vs. tackle).

Edward B. Gallagher is not known as Ed Gallagher and no source has been provided to establish thatis not true. -- Tavix ( talk) 17:50, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
Using an alternative name that the subject is also commonly called in English reliable sources, albeit not as commonly as the preferred-but-ambiguous title.So for us to use this name, we would still need evidence that he is commonly called "Edward B. Gallagher" in sources. Could you provide evidence of this for me? -- Tavix ( talk) 17:55, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
