Meet Fraser Hobday: The amateur goalkeeper with a bigger Wikipedia page than Neymar
An amateur footballer has become something of a folk hero on social media - after giving himself a bigger Wikipedia page than Brazilian superstar Neymar.
Huntly FC can be found in Scotland's Highland League, where they sit bottom of the table with a goal difference of minus 33.
But goalkeeper Fraser Hobday, a 19-year-old cafe worker, has posted his entire career and life story online - from his early days at primary school.
Hobday, a trainee chef, has detailed his modest achievements in a mammoth 3,271-word biography, from his days at Dunottar Primary School.
It runs through a youth career featuring six different sides, up to his time failing to keep clean sheets for Huntly and facing a penalty in his first match for the Highlanders - which he conceded.
"Fraser was involved in the Dunnottar Primary School football team from its establishment in 2005. He was picked at the first time of asking, when the school held trials for Primaries 5, 6 and 7.
"Fraser was then in Primary 5. He played consistently for three years, fielded in near enough all of the games against other schools in the Angus area of the North-East of Scotland. In Fraser's final year at Primary School, Dunnottar won the B-League."
And after stepping up to senior football, Hobday continues his tale, with some wonderful humour. It included the following details:
At his first senior club, Parkvale FC: "Coming back into form, Fraser played eight games in total, impressing in all, but didn't pick up any clean sheets."
