Their birth years are different. How would that be formatted, [[Petr Sykora (born 1977)]] and [[Petr Sykora (born 1979)]]?

Here's a real world example, there are two ice hockey players named Petr Sykora. They are both Czech, both have played in the NHL and both are notable enough for an article. Do I make the most notable (he already has an article) [[Petr Sykora]] and the less notable [[Petr Sykora (2)]]? If not, how do I handle this? Thanks.
