I will do this review. Zwerg Nase (talk) 10:37, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

This article has multiple issues:

There are several dead links in the references, see here.
There are several issues with WP:REPEATLINK.
The lead is repetitive. Since most statements given about him in the lead are not likely to be challenged, there is no need for so many references at this point.
Many references lead to sources that are not considered WP:RELIABLE, such as #7, #10, #29, to name a few.
A lot of statements are unsourced, I placed ^{[citation needed]} templates here and there. Given the large number of dead links and unsourced statement, the informations in this article are practically non-verifiable.
Scope: The club career section is way too short, while the international career section is overly long in comparison. I am therefore failing 3a and b.
The header Leadership and morality does not seem NPOV to me. The section also lacks encyclopedic tone.
Quotes: That's what Wikiquote is for.
The tables in the statistics section are a mess. Missing borders, sources all over the place. This is not in compliance with Wikipedia's Manual of Style.
Honours: Completely unsourced.
Several references are just links, with no other information given (author, publisher, date etc.).
The captions to the images should not have full stops, since they are not complete sentences, see WP:CAPTION.

As you can see, I had to fail several of the aspects of the GA criteria. Given the large number of problems this article has, I am failing this nomination without putting it on hold, since I do not believe the issues can be dealt with in the usual time frame of seven days. Feel free to improve the article and re-nominate it once it is done. Cheers, Zwerg Nase (talk) 11:09, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
