I'm putting this on hold, I'll leave detailed comments later but the lead needs expoansion see WP:LEAD try to get two full paragraphs, expand his playing career, and there needs to be some info about his personal life. He is a person after all not just an athlete. Trevor GH5 20:34, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Okay, a little more info about his early life would be good if it's available. Like what his parents did for a living, if he had any brothers or sisters, and anything else that stands out like if one of his parents or siblings died, if he ran away, if he was unusually poor or wealthy, if he was an exceptional student or if he was held back a grade, etc. To be clear, I agree the overwhelming focus of the article should be on his sports career but those other things give people a clue what kind of person he is and what his life was like. It also makes the article more interesting to a person who isn't a sports fan. For instance, Jim Thorpe had a very rough childhood from the looks of it, and led a pretty tragic, but fascinating life. I think even a non sports-fan would find the article an interesting read (even if the writing could use a little work grammar and prose wise). Trevor GH5 02:18, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found that this article is in general a very good piece of work, but there is one issue that needs to be addressed.
I will check back in no less than seven days. If progress is being made, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN again. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions, and many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this article thus far. (If you are really busy, let me know and I'll give more time. I need to know however so I can see that someone is interested in addressing these concerns.

The leaving date of his managerial role at Peterborough is stated in the article as 2019, but in his table of managerial roles, it is stated as 2018, i.e. before he began the role! Solomonite ( talk) 11:33, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
