Comments

Linfield is overlinked in the lead.
Consider linking Captain (association football).
Also player-manager.
Might be worth linking British Army (if, indeed, that was the Army he joined)?
Jimmy?". don't think you need that full stop.
Link "suspended" appropriately, we don't want readers thinking they found him in the air on ropes...
Link "transfer" appropriately.
Is there a suitable link for "reserve"?
" club's FA Cup run," could link the specific FA Cup.
List of Welsh Cup finals is a possible target for the Welsh Cup final.
Link "cap".
Glentoran overlinked.
"club to the final of the City Cup where they were defeated." by whom?

That's all I have, a nice article. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 11:52, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: Thanks for taking a look, I've addressed all of the points above. Kosack (talk) 13:07, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, all looks good, but just one last thing, what makes nifootball.com a RS? The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:21, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The site has been discussed a few times and is generally seen as a RS, see a few topics 1, 2 and the big one where it went up at the sources noticeboard. The site has a pretty sizeable list of established football historians as contributors I believe based on past discussions. Kosack (talk) 16:03, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Great, good to know, thanks for the background. Happy to see this one pass. Good work. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:32, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
