Source-derived summary

Ersid Pllumbaj (born 26 April 1989) is an Albanian former footballer who played as a forward.

Club career

Early life

Pllumbaj was born in 1989 in Albania. He moved to Italy at the age of fourteen. As a youth player, Pllumbaj joined the youth academy of Italian side Novara.

Senior career

Until the age of twenty-five, he played in the Italian sixth and fifth tiers before playing in the Italian fourth tier. One of those clubs was Italian side Ivrea, who he signed for in 2014. He was regarded as an important player in the Italian lower leagues. After that, he signed for Italian third-tier side Pro Patria, but he failed to establish himself in the squad and did not get consistent playing time. Besides Italy, Pllumbaj has played senior club football in Switzerland. In 2019, he signed for Italian side Legnano, which would become the last professional club he would play for.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Ersid Pllumbaj” is albanian footballer (born 1989). The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Ersid, Pllumbaj and Albanian, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1989, 2014, 2019—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1989-04-26. For this dossier, Ersid, Pllumbaj and Albanian is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “albanian footballer (born 1989)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q118396058. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1989, 2014 and 2019.

Critical limits

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
