1. Go to the Soccerbase website and search for a player.
2. Click on the correct link to go to the player's page. Be sure is the correct right person.
3. The page URL should look like https://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=#####, where "#####" indicates a number.
4. Copy ONLY that number
5. Add that ID to the Wikidata item about the player, using P2193
6. Add to the external links section the text:

   {{Soccerbase}}

Alternative method

1. Add to the external links section the text:

   {{Soccerbase|id=#####|name=Name}}

   where "#####" is the number you've copied, and "Name" is the person's name

2. Searching for "David Beckham", you'll reach this page: https://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=547
3. Copy "547" and then write: {{Soccerbase|id=547|name=David Beckham}}

Note that, since this will almost certainly go on the external link section, you should add a * before the template text to include it as a list item.
