 * Symbol confirmed.svg Hi Kosack, review follows: Article created 13 July; article is well written and exceeds minimum length; article is cited inline throughout to reliable sources; no copyvio or overly close paraphrasing detected; ALT0 is confirmed by the header of the Wales Online page and the "eldest surviving player" mention in the BBC source (which was prior to his death); ALT1 is backed up by the Wales Online source; my preference is for ALT1 which I think is more interesting; QPQ has been done. Looks good to go - Dumelow (talk) 10:04, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
