Fails WP:GNG due to the only source being a passing mention. No claims of notability either, causing it to fail WP:NBIO. WP:BEFORE failed to bring up anything of note. Kirbanzo (talk) 19:00, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - meets WP:NFOOTBALL having played in a fully professional league. Player with a career spanning seven years and at least nineteen appearances, so more than a one appearance wonder. I'm curious, how do you know the source is simply a passing mention when it's offline? Kosack (talk) 20:39, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - "no claims of notability" - you mean, aside from a seven-year career as a professional sportsman, including playing in the highest-level league in England (forerunner of today's Premier League)..........? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:08, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
