en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_AsabaI'm bored and came across this 2 bits stick out as lies- Carl Edward Asaba (born 28 January 1973 in London) is an English professional football player who plays as a striker. He is currently unaffiliated with any club, having had previous failed trials at Leeds United and Leicester City. [edit] Career Asaba first came to prominence at Brentford, debuting in 1994 after joining the club from Dulwich Hamlet. His goalscoring soon attracted attention and Reading signed him for a club record £800,000 on August 7, 1997. He did not make an impact for Reading scoring eight league goals from 32 appearances, and subsequently moved on to Gillingham for another club record fee of £600,000. He finished top scorer for Gillingham in season 1998–99 with 20 league goals but much of the rest of his time at Priestfield Stadium was dogged by injuries. On March 9, 2001 he signed for Sheffield United for £92,500. He became a favourite at Bramall Lane when he scored the second goal with a deft glancing header in a 2–1 win against local rivals Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough. He played a key role in the Blades reaching the Football League promotion play-offs with memorable late winners in home victories against Nottingham Forest and Leicester City respectively, and a hat-trick at Brighton & Hove Albion after coming on as a substitute. On August 5, 2003 he was transferred to Stoke City where he was a big hit with the fans, gaining cult status. His name was even featured in the chant "duh, duh, duh, duh, Carl Asaba". He made 70 league appearances for Stoke scoring nine league goals. On August 25, 2005, Asaba joined Millwall in a free transfer, when then Stoke manager Johan Boskamp deemed him surplus to requirements. He spent one year with the London club scoring three league goals from 21 appearances. The name Carl Asaba is commonly used as rhyming slang for the word harbour.Cult status? Harbour? Do You think Carl wrote this himself?

I thought his name was Carlos Harbour anyway? Christ, you were bored, looking him up on Wika. Why don't you go to www.bored.com/digholesBasically, find your house on the map and point on it to see where you'd come out if you drilled down and didn't stop. An oldie, but goldie, and utterly pointless. |

Whether Carl Asaba actually wrote this Wikipedia entry, as suggested by Bayernoatcake, is unknown

I reckon Sarbs is still writing his scrapbook with that one! He's edited it surely!
