One line stub about a second tier youth soccer team, who has managed the first team on a few occasions. As far as I can tell, fails WP:BIO. No independant sources found beyond management stats. →Ollie (talk • contribs) 21:07, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - he played over 450 league games for a number of clubs. This wasn't mentioned, but I've remedied that. ArtVandelay13 21:31, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Can you source his appearances, please? I can't find him in Soccerbase as a player. BlueValour 03:01, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- He predates Soccerbase, but he's in the Football League Players' Records, 1946-2005, by Barry Hugman. ArtVandelay13 04:19, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - I've created an infobox, using data extracted from www.allfootballers.com, which only covers the English leagues, so the Celtic data is missing. Daemonic Kangaroo 06:36, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - 450+ league appearances easily meets WP:BIO. I believe he was also a Scottish junior international. - fchd 17:33, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Definite keep as clearly meets WP:BIO now that full info on his career has been added ChrisTheDude 08:12, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
