Good Article Checklist
 * Well-written -the prose is clear and concise, respects copyright laws, and the spelling and grammar are correct; and it complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.
 * Verifiable with no original research: it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline; it provides in-line citations from reliable sources for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines; and it contains no original research.
 * Broad in its coverage: it addresses the main aspects of the topic; and it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
 * Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without bias, giving due weight to each.
 * Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
 * Illustrated, if possible, by images: images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content; and images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.

Comments: Only very few issues I could find in this article, I think with those fixes there should be no objections to passing. "His only season as a Dortmund player was both frustrating and successful." - Cite, sounds like an opinion.✅ "Berger scored a brace of goals in a 3–0 win against Leicester City. " - Brace is jargon and cite please.✅
 * Disambig links:OK
 * Reference check: OK
 * "With wife Jaroslava and their two children, " - Prose.✅
 * "He left the club,[23] having played 194 games for Liverpool, scoring 35 goals in the process." Cite for the end please.✅
 * "Patrik's" sic ❌ – MOS:QUOTE recommends sic for a significant error but Patrik is the given spelling and WP:CONTRACTIONS recommends that "contractions should not be expanded mechanically". There are three contractions in the quote and the guideline doesn't appear to require these be deleted.
 * Wasn't the spelling of the name (it is his name afterall) it was error in speech which is possessive. It is a small matter, but would you mind dropping a template on it? ChrisGualtieri (talk) 05:46, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * As far as I'm aware, possessive and omissive apostrophes are rendered using the same character, so it is not necessary, however I have added the sic template per your request.✅

That's all the issues I could really find. Please fix them and I can pass it. Placing on hold now. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 15:06, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Expand on "After the club successfully avoided relegation" and cite "then-manager Alain Perrin and the club chose not to renew his contract in June 2005. " ✅
 * "During his loan spell," Word choice. Also with following sentence.✅
 * " On 6 May 2008, he was told he had played his last game for Aston Villa after urging captain Gareth Barry to move to Liverpool.[41]" Context of this dispute please. And wording.✅
 * " In November 2008 Berger scored " missing comma✅
 * "He was known for his competence from set pieces, being particularly productive in free kick situations."✅ – removed and replaced
 * OK I'll pass this now. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:29, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
