Dilemma: Mike Reid the songwriter and Mike Reid the football player are one in the same. I'm not sure which is more relevant, and I can't find any similar entries to draw from. In all the cases I can think of there is one aspect that outweighs the other in importance.
I have a football bias so I should recuse myself.
Which is the real story here: the gifted athlete who turns his back on a lucrative career in sports to persue music, or the successful songwriter who once really shined on the football field?

—I just noticed this conversation now, just a few days after the requested move below closed. Thought it would be good to copy the conversation to the relevant talk page. Here is a permanent link to the original version of the article, created 00:59, 27 July 2006 by Patken4. Notice that when it came to his music career, he gave top billing to Reid's songwriting, not singing. – Wbm1058 ( talk) 17:38, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
"Footballer" is not a term used in relation to the game in America. That term is only used for individuals who play soccer. It looks ridiculous and it's not used in any other parentheticals for ambiguous names including football players. 69.7.37.69 ( talk) 10:12, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Should (musician) be used as well? See this discussion. – Wbm1058 ( talk) 13:43, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Move. Clear consensus the present title isn't sufficient, and of the suggestions, this one is the best supported and the most suitable per our usual title conventions. Cúchullain t/ c 15:54, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
