Wikipedia is generally much better for factual stuff like chemical compounds, famous people from Massachussetts or other such trivialities. With football players, there are inevitably quite a few jokers who think it's "hilarious" to edit information.
It can be funny, though, when you make changes to players' info (particularly foreign ones) and see those details included in reports in newspapers. We should try that ourselves -
"Torquay's new signing, XXX XXXX, joined today for an undisclosed fee, believed to be about £2.50 plus a Twix. In his spare time, he enjoys Proust and buggery."
