Goals tally for Newcastle United

[edit]

He scored for nufc in the home second leg win of the Carabao Cup Semi Final in January 2023. 2A00:23C6:F802:9C01:574C:C110:DC4B:D282 (talk) 21:36, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The sources SKY NUFC say Longstaff scored both... cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:10, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
People still haven't got the basic principle that we should only include league goals in his infobox for Newcastle per the grey text at the bottom. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 19:48, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Height

[edit]

The height for this player per Newcastle source says 198cm = 1.98m so any change of that figure while the Newcastle source remains will be reverted. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 15:29, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's quite as clear as that. The Newcastle source has 198cm in the statistical bit at the top, which is probably taken from a database, but mentions his "6ft 7in frame" in the prose. His Wigan Athletic profile does the same: 198cm in the statistical bit, but "The 6ft 7ins defender" lower down. And his entry in the Premier League stats database, notorious for using players' heights as measured when they were teenagers and not updating, has 198cm, but a tactical piece on that site specifically about Burn has 6 ft 7 in.
When Fulham signed him as an 18-year-old from Darlington, both they and the Darlington-based Northern Echo described him as 6 ft 6 in. Three years later, by which time he'd presumably finished growing, his Fulham profile listed 201cm. And according to his Brighton & Hove Albion profile, he's a "6ft 7in defender".
The author of a May 2022 piece in The Athletic writes "But puberty proved problematic for a boy who would eventually be 6ft 7in. In one summer, he grew six inches." Burn himself is quoted as saying: "Newcastle United is the be-all and end-all, so I'm recognised everywhere. I'm 6ft 7in, so it's not like I can just chuck a cap on and blend in, is it? I love it, though."
Obviously I'll wait for further comments, but in light of the above, I'd be inclined to go with 6ft 7in. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 16:26, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
At least I know some conversion on that Newcastle profile is incorrect in both points of his height. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 21:04, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
