Position[edit]

Odemwingie never played a striker, therefore I removed it. He mostly played an attacking midfielder, sometimes a winger, but he never was a striker. There were few times in Locomotive that he was made second striker under Sychev, but never a striker. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.182.129.156 (talk • contribs) 20:11, 5 June 2010 (UTC)he played as a striker, his debut in EPL[reply]

Club Career[edit]

He's described as famous for "his technique, pace and girth" - girth? I'm not sure about that as a relevant description here. Girth would normally refer to someone overweight, or possibly to a porn star with a tremendous girth... I really don't think either apply, so perhaps this should be deleted? There's no citation for this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.174.54.82 (talk) 12:41, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Birthplace?[edit]

The lead and infobox say he was born in Tashkent, whereas the International section says he was born in "Sylane and came up through the Corrib Celtic youth systems"? 194.28.124.55 (talk) 03:41, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Peter Odemwingie/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

The Peter Odemwingie page needs to be merged with the Osaze Odemwingie page because there are two separate pages about the same football player. I believe this is an unknown mistake because the player incorporates the two names Peter and Osaze together. If anyone could rectify this problem thanks.
