Welsh

I think we need a firm citation for this. Being born in Wales while his English parents were temporarily evacuated from England during wartime is a very particular circumstance. 86.20.255.1 (talk) 18:42, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I also agree, I wouldn't qualify this as being Welsh. StephaineAlligan (talk) 16:10, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Peter Shreeve

Everyone,

I too recall him as Peter Shreeve when he first became manager of Tottenham, and I am certain I remember the TV interview. In addition, the spursstore site refers to him as Shreeve. Yesterday, however, I received an e-mail from Dennis Signy of Barnet Football Club confirming a) that the Birth Certificate states Shreeves, and b) that at 10.15 yesterday the man in question confirmed to Mr Signy that he was born Shreeves and still is Shreeves.

There are some errors on Wikipedia (not all mine!), including one reference to Shreeve in the article, and I shall endeavour to correct them over time.

All,

I have been checking up on whether Shreeve or Shreeves is correct. To do this, I emailed the Football League Managers Association, and a helpful person named Debbie informs me that Shreeves is correct. This, of course, matches what is on their site and also the official Tottenham Hotspurs site. Hence, when I have some time (hopefully this evening), I shall go through and correct all the articles in which his name appears. For the record, here is the email conversation (with contact information removed):

Dear Stephen,

Apologies for the delay, my colleague did not pass the information on to me!! I have just spoken to Peter in person, and he has confirmed that his surname is SHREEVES.

Hope this helps.

Regards, Debbie

Dear Debbie,

Did you ever receive a reply on this? Since the site has not been updated, can I assume that I was I was incorrect?

Regards, Stephen.

Dear sir/madam,

I am currently researching an article about this manager. I am reasonably convinced that, when he was manager of Tottenham Hotspur F.C. he gave an interview where he admitted that his surname was in fact "Shreeve" and not "Shreeves". I am unable to find that interview at present.

However, I note that your site does not list him as "Shreeve" but "Shreeves" which (I believe) is therefore incorrect. In fact, most websites, including the official sites for Spurs and Sheffield Wednesday, do list him as "Shreeves", as do many contemporary articles. However, others list "Shreeve", and some even list a mixture of the two! I would preferably like to find something that gives more conclusive proof - websites are notoriously unreliable.

Do you have any suggestions as to how I can confirm my belief? Would it be possible to contact him, or for you to contact him on my behalf, in order to do this? Do you have internal records that give the correct surname?

After an honourable time at Spurs (I am a supporter) it would be nice to make sure the records give his correct name. Obviously, if my suspicions are incorrect, I apologise deeply!

My thanks for any help or assistance you can provide,

Regards,

Stephen.
