Reviewer: Cloudz679 (talk · contribs) 14:58, 6 January 2014 (UTC) I will review this article. C679 14:58, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
The article appears thorough enough but is completely dependent on the subject's autobiography and needs to be re-written with a greater deal of independent sources.
- It is reasonably well written.
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- fails 2a per WP:GENREF, 2b per WP:SELFPUB - may be used as long as "the article is not based primarily on such sources" - discounting the autobiography, the sum total of references about his playing career is four, at least one of which (football-england.com) is of questionable reliability. Looking at the article's edit history it also appears that a certain Rod Marsh (talk · contribs) has been contributing material, which has then been referenced later (by another user) using the autobiography.
- a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.

- 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:
- Per WP:GACR, "If the article is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria then it can be failed without being placed on hold." I feel that criteria 2b is a long way from being met and am therefore closing this review with immediate effect.
- Pass/Fail:
