England C national football team

Hey, I noticed that you changed the name of this article from England National Game XI to England C, do you have a source for this? As far as I'm aware the team is still known as the National Game XI- it is the name currently being used on the FA's website. Cheers. Simon KHFC 13:09, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

James Milner Career section

Not really asking for full feedback on this article (although I wouldn’t mind it). I’d just like to know what you feel the best way the divide up the Career section is, by Club, by season, not at all or some other way. Please leave your reply under the section in my talk page named “Milner Career section”. Buc 16:39, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

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. – PeeJay 12:24, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

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)

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)

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)
