So I retracted my hoax suspicions after watching two of the videos. The article still needs more sources to verify as much as possible. Media coverage not by Danny but about Danny would be most helpful. And it doesn't seem easy to find. Perhaps there is misspelling of the name(s) issues?

http://www.matichon.co.th/play_clip.php?newsid=1354621093 Interview on Thai TV before debut

  • I suggest seeing if you can add something that confirms the sports clubs. Sportfan5000 (talk) 02:02, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can't find much else as he never played first team football, they clarified many facts in the interview about his life both as a fan and player - they talk about his time as a futsal player, other facts are taken from a Pantip article aswell as social media & the TV show Thai Ties, However Matichon TV are one of the biggest networks in Thailand. Also misspelling is a very likely possibility.

  • Delete - Obvious hoax. Yes the person exists and has some minor TV appearances on a local area american football show, but he is not an international footballer. He has supposedly played 13 times for the Thai U-20 team but was not a member of the squad for the 2014 AFC U-19 Championship qualification in which the Thai U-20 team took part as can be seen from the squad listing here. Additionally, it is claimed he has 34,000 Twitter followers. He does not. He has 10, which is quite sad. It is also strange that he did not tweet once about any of his miraculous inclusions in the Thai national set up, or tweet at all about his footballing exploits during the period in which he was supposedly playing in Thailand. Clear WP:NFOOTY failure and as he seems only to be an entirely insignificant local media employee a WP:GNG failure too. Fenix down (talk) 14:27, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
