There are two ways you can quickly add the Football Reference Player Linker bookmarklet to your browser.

Option 1: Click on, hold and drag this link to your bookmarks or bookmarks bar. This option works for Chrome, Safari, and Firefox.

Option 2: Right click this link and add it to your favorites or bookmarks. This option does not work for Chrome. Please note that if your browser asks you to confirm this action, this is standard to prevent security issues from untrustworthy sites.

Want to see your content appear on our Player Pages? You may have noticed that each Football Reference player page has Player section. Here's how your articles can appear there.

• Step 1: Follow the instructions above to use our Player Linker or Statistics Sharing tool.
• Step 2: Fill out this brief form to let us know you would like to be included. A member of our team will review your request in less than two business days.
• Step 3: Once accepted, we will start scanning your RSS feed for links to Football-Reference.com These articles will begin showing up on the relevant player page under, Player News.

In most cases, we will match on any of the top level players on the site, but for sports with a large number of players, we may only match on the most popular players. This is usually limited to the top 50,000 people. You can also hand-link players who are less popular.

Also, we do match diacritics like "Mario Mandžukić", but we will also try to match "Mario Mandzukic" and get that linked. However, a partially correct rendering, like “Mario Mandzukić“ may not get linked.

Players known by a single name like "Isco", "Neymar", "Marta", "Jo", and "Fred" are difficult for our system to match as a name like "Joe Hart" may first correctly match the English goalkeeper, but then also get matched to the Brazilian Jo. To manage this issue, we only match mononyms when they are wrapped by underscores.

So if you are writing an article for the first entry for Hulk, you will want to write it as _Hulk_. For example:

Hulk was a forward for Zenit
    will need to be written as
_Hulk_ was a forward for Zenit

for a link to appear in your text.

We will then match this name and also remove the underscores when wrapping the name in the appropriate link. We apologize for this inconvenience, but it is the only way we can manage to link these one-word names.
