Notability of footballers

Hi, you contributed to the discussion about football notability criteria in November, so you will be delighted/appalled that I have restarted the discussion here.

Sorry

My apologies regarding the match between Hereford and United in 2001. However, I think the reason that the fixture wasn't listed in the yearbook is that it was officially regarded (by Man Utd, anyway) as a Man Utd Reserves or Man Utd XI match, and therefore not a first team game. I'll leave it in the article for now, and feel free to add it to any records of Hereford's 2001 pre-season, but I'm not sure it really should be listed as a Man Utd first team friendly. – Pee Jay 12:24, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Adam Stansfield

Hi, no worries and thanks for the apology. Did exactly the same thing myself on a page recently - easily done. Just one query, the totals on the page for Hereford are one more than soccerbase and I'm not sure why. WikiGull (talk) 19:46, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just to let you know I think you're overusing {{0}} in the goals column, as it's only needed so the stats line up correctly. Thanks, Mattythewhite (talk) 22:42, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alan Lamb (footballer)

This the same guy who played for Hereford United in 1989? He would be 37 at the time which isn't too unreasonable for a player of his calibre.

If so I created a decent article on what he got up to before 1980, if not then I guess you'll have to change the List of Hereford United F.C. players so it doesn't link to him (thats how I got here).--EchetusXe (talk) 12:45, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
