Style of play

Anyone have any material on Ronnie's style of play? (such a section seems to appear in most football FAs and GAs, but I'm not sure if it is considered mandatory in order to reach such a status) At Albion he sat in front of the back four and pointed a lot... --Jameboy (talk) 12:30, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen him several times for Huddersfield. He played central midfield and was very much a rugged 'enforcer'. He also has a hard shot and netted three times in 16 appearances. BlueValour (talk) 02:22, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Initial Sheffield Wednesday contract

I have altered this, again, to 'until the end of the season'. None of the sources I have seen say a 'six-moth contract'. For example, take the official Owls site here. BlueValour (talk) 02:19, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

England under-20 stats

I'm having trouble locating Wallwork's England under-20 stats. The following articles confirm that he played in the team [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] but beyond that I can't find number of apps and goals. The stats at theFA.com don't seem to go back far enough. Can anyone help? Thanks. --Jameboy (talk) 18:37, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Lead:

"United loaned out Wallwork to Carlisle United, Stockport County and Royal Antwerp." sounds a bit choppy to me, possibly link this sentence to the following one (i.e. ...Royal Antwerp, where he was banned from football...)?
- Amended this one. Peanut4 (talk) 20:11, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've re-jigged it further, please let me know what you think (or if Peanut4's edit was better I'll go with that... whichever really) --Jameboy (talk) 23:21, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, I much prefer yours. Peanut4 (talk) 23:28, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seconded. -AMBerry (t|c) 09:55, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Manchester United

The opening sentence on Wallwork's loan spell at Antwerp could possibly do with rephrasing, at the moment it doesn't quite sound right.

Because of the two relative clauses? Changed it around, let me know if it's OK. --Jameboy (talk) 23:00, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds much better now, thanks. -AMBerry (t|c) 09:55, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

West Bromwich Albion

"The move [to Huddersfield] was prompted by Town's escalating injury crisis." Is there a source for this statement?
- Good question. The only sources I can find [6] and [7] suggest he was brought in for his experience. I'll wait for User:Jameboy, the original nominator, to see what he thinks. Peanut4 (talk) 20:11, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the sentence. An article on the Huddersfield Town site mentions a couple of players suffering from "illness", which is a bit non-descript. However it is just one of several loan spells he completed and the reasons aren't particularly important IMO. If you disagree then I'll happily pop in a quote from (Huddersfield manager) Andy Ritchie, mentioning (as Peanut4 says) Wallwork's experience. --Jameboy (talk) 22:32, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

~~Apart from those points above I can't see anything that would prevent GA, so it's on hold for now. -AMBerry (t|c) 19:36, 8 September 2008 (UTC)~~[reply]
