I recreated this cat because I thought that both Category:Football (soccer) fullbacks and Category:Football (soccer) central defenders should be children of this. I hadn't seen the CfD discussion then, which seems like a fair consensus, but doesn't really consider that fact that many players can play across the back line, or that many online references only list players as defender, which makes categorising stubs for defenders quite problematic. I notice others are still using the cat, and I think it's useful to have, at least as a temporary store for those articles we can't be more specific about, but I won't cry too much if it gets deleted again. - N(talk) 01:20, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
