Well the answer is something along the lines of this
class player : public footballObject
{
protected:
	BYTE nSkill, nSpeed;
public:
	player();
	~player();

	void setStats( BYTE skill, BYTE speed );
};

you would then instanciate the array thus:

void main()
{
   player paData[1000];

   ...

  paData[i].setStats( 100, 90 );

}

does that help at all?
