Good choice to remove those. Citations are still definetly needed but I can't find any good ones XD ~

Thanks John Jacques. I have added some more citations since my original message so I think that's just about covered now.

Cleanup
I have cleaned up the references in this article, and reworded some sections to remove non-neutral statements. Don't think I lost any cited information doing so - if anyone disagrees please re-add it with a source using the <ref></ref> tags to create an inline citation. Cheers.

Links for info on Edgar
Thought I'd include this incase anyone wants to add information with references. It's a thread on a football forum with links to articles about Edgar.

It seems rather strange that the captaincy was given to Johnson, as prior to the U-20 World Cup Edgar captained the side in every match.

Whitecaps appearances
Edgar's Whitecaps appearances is listed as 0 (zero), which seems wrong, as the Vancouver Sun's piece on last night's game versus Colorado has him in the lineup:
Van v. Col Sept 24, 2016 So, my question is his number of Whitecaps appearances correct?

– Previous RMs have said that soccer and footballer are insufficient given it is the same sport, just a LANGVAR difference. One is deceased, one was a national team player, so no ambiguity with nationality to require birth year.

Edit When I was at the
David Edgar disambiguation page, where they were both listed and guess I didn't look closely enough and didn't notice it was "Dave" not "David". I'm open to cancelling this since they are different titles.

Response Thanks. I didn't notice that. I was at the

Comment If Dave is suffiently different from David, then this proposal to use DOB is unnecessary. It is inconsistent to further disambiguate one with yob but not the other as Necrotheesp proposed. These two are the only two soccer/footballers.

Not at all. One was called David but known as Dave. Nobody else on Wikipedia is called Dave Edgar. The other is called David and known as David. There is another person on Wikipedia called David Edgar. We only disambiguate when necessary. --

Yes, but there would be no other David Edgar with a soccer/footballer, hence the additional YOB being unnecessary. Soccer would suffice.

Looking at
David Edgar (swimmer), you will see two sources (at least) refer to the swimmer as "Dave" so the Scottish footballer may not be the only one called Dave Edgar.
You seem to misunderstand. Dave Edgar was also called David Edgar and may be referred to as David Edgar in some sources. "Soccer" and "football" are interchangeable. So we need to disambiguate David Edgar with YOB, but not Dave Edgar. --
