Inaccurate claims in this article[edit]

I removed a false claim in this article that McMahon was a boyhood Liverpudlian "snapped up" by Everton. McMahon was well known in his early days at Goodison to be an Evertonian, as was his brother who was also on Everton's books for a time. McMahon himself confirms he was a boyhood Evertonian here [1]. I'm sure many Liverpudlians would assume McMahon to be a boyhood Red but it isn't so. In future, users should only include information that can be verified, rather than including their own vague assumptions and stating them as hard facts in the article. Including wholly inaccurate claims, as was the case here, makes Wikipedia look ridiculous. MarkB79 22:23, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just come across this talk page on Steve McMahon, it is verifiable through Everton Football programmes in the early '80's his passion for Everton. Dmcm2008 (talk) 20:25, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I dispute that Steve McMahon has the middle name Joseph (I don't think he has a middle name at all). I have at least two reference books, including "The PFA Premier and Football League Players' Records 1946 - 2005" and neither include Joseph as his middle name. There is a Stephen Joseph McMahon listed in this book (possibly his son?) who played for Blackpool in 2002-03 and Kidderminster in 2004.

Why was this removed - its true and verifiable. www.profitablegroup.com/group-board.aspx You cant have a situation where they are using his name to give credibility to the company on the one hand (its on ESPN and Steve says its good) and then deny it when the company has some PR problems. This is either an encyclopedia or a fan site. Its true.

[McMahon also recently joined the board of the Profitable Group a holding company that operates including other things "strategic land investment" Land_Banking (Profitable Plots) and High-yield investment program(HYIP) (Profitable Capital). This company has in the recent past carried out extensive advertising with ESPN. The UK company of Profitable Plots was recently closed down by agreement with the DTI.] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.3.142.45 (talk) 08:29, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
