Talk:Eyal Berkovic

Merger with Eyal Berkovich
from Talk:Eyal_Berkovich:

If I'm not mistaken his name on the jersey is actually Berkovic; also in Google there are ~10,000 results for "Eyal Berkovic" and only 615 for "Eyal Berkovich". Not to mention [UEFA calls him Berkovic] as well as [Eurosport]. unsigned comment by ip 217.132.239.14


 * Agreed, there has also been a request to merge the two articles, which are identical bar the spelling of his name. Have redirected Eyal Berkovich to Eyal Berkovic. Grunners 15:54, 23 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your efforts, Grunners. &lt;font color="green"&gt;gidonb&lt;/font&gt; 21:51, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Changes
Other than general tidying and adding a few stats, I've changed the figure for the West Ham to Celtic transfer fee. The West Ham Player List, Soccerbase and ESPNsoccernet all say it was £5.75m. A comment on a message board says West Ham "held out for 6+ million", so I guess this could be wrong too, but I think I'm more inclined to believe the other sources as opposed to one random message board poster. Jewsinsports.org says it was 9.3 million dollars (~£5.3m at todays rate). I've changed it from "$10 million (£6.5million)" (which sounds like a rounding up to me anyway) to the figure quoted on those three pages. Also, the national cap and goal stats were out of date, but I'm having a bit of trouble finding definitive figures for these. PlayerHistory.com goes with 78 matches, 14 goals, but this recent article from ESPNsoccernet says he has 82 caps. I can't seem to find any more up-to-date information to know if he scored any more from those other 4 games, but I'm going to presume he didn't for now and go with 82 (14). If anyone can find more recent statistics, then please change it.

I've made a start on the infobox, but it still needs some fields filling in: - N (talk) 23:43, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
 * 'youthyears' & 'youthclubs' (if any)
 * 'caps(goals)' (for each club)
 * 'nationalyears'
 * 'image' (if possible)

POV
This article has some POV issues e.g. "Berkovic is regarded both as a real professional with a truly sportsmanlike attitude towards the game, and as a football genius who improves all the players around him and breaks opponent's defences with his masterpiece passes" Oldelpaso 18:00, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Removed some of the outlandish POV script in the interests of balance. Best taken out when we consider that, to a great many people (fans, management, playing partners), Berkovic was as far from 'sportsmanlike' as it is possible to be, and is reputedly a very unpleasant individual indeed. magpie1892

The POV in this article is still blatant (added back?) and needs a bit of work... --80.192.21.253 (talk) 17:13, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

I made extensive POV edits - I think the subject himself has been adding stuff, some of it cringeworthy. Aparently being the 94th 'best' Israeli out of 200 is worthy of inclusion in the 'Honours' section. Funny, in an embarrassing sort of way, bit Wikipedia not really the place to have the bio read like a hagiography. --82.41.251.96 (talk) 14:23, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
