I'll re-review this one. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 06:33, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

[edit]
  • I don't think you need the citations in the lead.
  • Mention the tiers of at least Stevenage and his current club.

Early life

[edit]
  • First mention in any paragraph should be "Henry", not "he"
  • This section seems fairly short. Is there nothing else to add? It mentions a grandparent, what about parents? You could at least have the "Henry was born on ___ in ___" sentence to start off the paragraph.
  • He only signed with Tottenham at age 16, who did he play for before that?

Early career

[edit]
  • Okay.

Stevenage

[edit]
  • Captain is linked twice.
  • Should "transfer-list" be hyphenated?
  • he was named in the Conference Premier Team of the Year ===>>> Henry was named in the Conference Premier Team of the Year
  • he was not part of his future plans ===>>> he was not part of ("the club's" or "Smith's") future plans

Luton

[edit]
  • Okay.

Stevenage again

[edit]
  • meaning he surpassed ===>>> surpassing

Towns

[edit]
  • Clarify if he was playing for these teams while still a coach at Stevenage.

International

[edit]
  • Okay.

Style of play

[edit]
  • Okay.

Tables

[edit]
  • Okay.

Overall

[edit]
  • Outside of the lead, the prose should specify which tier (level on pyramid) each club/league is in.

In general, looks like MWright96 covered things pretty well and the article was in good shape even before that. Placing on hold. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 17:31, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

SBFCEdit, no rush, just pinging you to let you know about the review because I don't think LegoBot did. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 00:21, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Sportsfan77777, thanks for taking the time out to review the article. Also, I hadn't seen your GA review so cheers for notifying me. I have made all of the suggested changes. Great spot on the Henry joining Tottenham aged 16 comment. The infobox wrongly stated his youth career was 2000–2002. I have seen this article stating Henry was playing for Tottenham aged 10/11/12, but it doesn't state he joined them at the age of 10 (could have been before that), so I have left it blank for now. Couldn't find much more on his early life, just that his father drove him to training and that his family all supported Tottenham Hotspur. I've found it a bit tricky to incorporate the tier of each league in the prose. It's actually not something I've ever seen in a football article, but it is a good suggestion with the lower tier clubs in particular. I have gone for brackets in the prose for now. Let me know if there's anything else. Cheers! SBFCEdit (talk) 18:04, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, not so surprised about the lack of early life info given that it's a lower-division player. For the tiers, you could also do something like "Stevenage of the Conference National, the fifth tier of the English football league system" or "Southern Premier Central seventh tier club", but this is a minor point. Passing, good work! Sportsfan77777 (talk) 01:40, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
