[WikiEN-l] Disambiguation in the same category

We couldn't use "forward" and "right wing" because a right wing is a
type of forward. Also, they are both centers (another type of forward).

Well, IMDB does it as [[Petr Sykora (I)]] and [[Petr Sykora (II))]];
their 
FAQ says that there's no hard and fast rule how they order them, but
they 
try to use one or more of: who is most famous, who came first 
chronologically, or who is searched for more often. But in this case,
why 
not say [[Petr Sykora (NHL forward)]] and [[Petr Sykora (NHL right
wing]]?
