Concerns about point of view and neutrality[edit]

I recently noticed that a user had blanked a section of this article, specifically the section on Varney's style of play. Obviously, I disagree with the decision to blank this section, but I must say that the section doesn't appear to be entirely neutral in its point of view, which is why I haven't reverted the user yet. The part which says, "Not naturally gifted with the ball at his feet, and lacking a decent first touch, balance and the ability to finish, his style of play generally involves winning headers and hassling opposition defenders to create openings for his strike partner," gives no reliable sources for what it claims, and seems to me to be a personal attack on Varney.

I'm a pretty new editor here, and I'm still learning the ins and outs of how Wikipedia works, so I could be entirely wrong about this, but the section that was blanked seems to have some pretty clear bias to me.
