The players high is 185cm.This hasn't been corrected for a while, actually since he turned 19. This information is quite relevant and important, regarding the position of the player as a central defender.

Sam Williams statistics Brentford 2008-09
Hi, I just noticed that there is no statistical data for Sam Williams on the Brentford 2008–09 page. I don't have any of the data to hand, would you be able to update if you have it? Thanks Itchybowwow (talk) 10:53, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Brentford 94-95 kit change detail
Hello. You removed my edit regarding the change from Hummel to unbranded kit, and the removal of the sponsor mid season. The references I used were digital copies of contemporary and official sources of information from the Brentford FC club programmes, and the edit was labelled 'poorly sourced'. Can you expand? Itchybowwow (talk) 08:02, 27 May 2020 (UTC) 1994–95 Brentford F.C. season
 * I have reinstated the basic facts, concisely, with improved referencing. Beatpoet (talk) 10:21, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that, much appreciated. I just cleaned up the article replacing the referenced to 'kit' with 'shirt', as it was only the shirt that was manufactured by Hummel. Also Hummel made the replacement shirt but it was unbranded, as per the reference articleItchybowwow (talk) 19:04, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Hello, I appreciate you know him but I advise you to read No original research. If you know of a published source which backs up your new information, by all means update the page and cite the source, but original research doesn't stand on wiki I'm afraid. Not my rules, wiki's.

Archie Turner
Thanks for your edits, but I don't understand why you altered the goals tally for his first period at Southampton. The englandfootballonline article clearly states "scoring 23 goals in 65 Southern League appearances", so I have partially reverted you, and added a reference to "All the Saints". Best wishes. Daemonickangaroo2018 (talk) 16:58, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I corrected it Daemonickangaroo2018 as 11v11 shows he scored 17 league goals in his first spell at Southampton, plus 6 FA Cup goals. 17 + 6 = 23, so I believe All the Saints and englandfootballonline have mistakenly totalled up his goals in all competitions. Only league stats are counted in the infobox. Being an FA Cup finalist is not an "honour" either. Beatpoet (talk) 17:29, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
 * 11v11 is not very reliable when it comes to the Southern League, and I can assure you that the figures in the infobox are correct. Daemonickangaroo2018 (talk) 17:50, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Hey man, sadly there's no birth details, but a death date of 1944, which I presume is a war death? As for Queen of the South stats, again not much, just 1 league apppearance in 1934–35 and 8 in 1936–37. Beatpoet (talk) 15:25, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, what page did you find this on? Lettlerhello 22:17, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
 * There is no page, I got the Excel version direct from Litster himself. Beatpoet (talk) 22:21, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

Can you please check Record of Pre-War Scottish League Players again, this time for a forward called Arthur Baxter? I'm creating his article next, and want to know whether he played in the Scottish League for Falkirk or Dundee. Thank you, Lettlerhello 16:31, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * He did indeed, 40 league appearances and 10 goals for Falkirk between 1934 and 1936 and 96 league appearances and 43 goals for Dundee between 1936 and 1939. I've only given you infobox stats as I recommend you click here and arrange with Litster to buy the files! It's a quality resource. Beatpoet (talk) 16:47, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

more Scottish footballers
Hey Beatpoet. I have two Scots for you to profile, Francis McEwan and Peter Monaghan. For the former, he was a pre-WW2 Airdrieonians player who went south to Tottenham and played three wartime games for them before service. He fought in Belgium in late 1944 and was killed on 21 September 1944. Here are some sources you can use:


 * Record of Pre-War Scottish League Players (I recently bought it in downloadable form, but my M spreadsheet doesn't work, which is why I'm asking you to create the article)
 * Profile of McEwan in the book The Spurs Alphabet
 * CWGC profile
 * Profile for Hamilton Academical, for whom McEwan guested during the war

For Monaghan, he seems to have guested for Kilmarnock during the war years. If you could find any statistics for him in Litster's book, I would appreciate it. Lettlerhello 17:09, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hey man, I've updated Peter Monaghan with a couple of references. The only wartime stuff for him in Litster is 2 1939-40 appearances for Dundee United. I also cleaned the article up as we do not put wartime or 1939-40 stats in the career statistics box. 1939–40 stats do not go in the infobox either. It seems to be the done thing to leave wartime stats out of the infobox – I used to put wartime stats in them, but mods came along and removed them, so that was that. I created Francis McEwan at Frank McEwan. Again, there is nothing in Litster that isn't in the Hamilton reference. No Airdrie guest stats either. Beatpoet (talk) 00:14, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi. Some time ago, you created the articles Walter Gadsby (footballer, born 1882) and Ernie Gadsby, two footballing brothers from Whittington, Derbyshire. Back then, Whittington, Derbyshire redirected to Old Whittington, but it has recently been made into a disambiguation page listing Old Whittington, New Whittington and Whittington Moor. Do you know in which Whittington they were born? Lennart97 (talk) 16:43, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your reply. Doing a bit more searching, I found this website and this website both stating New Whittington as Ernie's place of birth. Not exactly reliable sources, but combined with them starting their careers there, I think it's safe to update their articles accordingly, which I'll do. Lennart97 (talk) 23:42, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Lachlan Brook - Crewe Alexandria League Appearances
Hello! I saw you reverted my edit on Lachlan Brook citing that it should only include league appearances, which I’m aware of, and Soccerway shows that Brook did in fact make 34 league appearances for Crewe Alexandria:

 * I just checked Soccerbase and saw the same, 34, so God knows where those extra four came along, unless there was some balls up somewhere along the line. Either way, I've put it to 34, so apologies for the revert. Cheers. Beatpoet (talk) 13:35, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Awesome, cheers! Olyroo (talk) 08:53, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Stephen Wilkins
Hello, I noticed you added that Stephen Wilkins made a single league appearance for Brentford in 1978. Is this correct? It seems he appeared in a League Cup match against Watford, but I cannot find any matches he played in the Football League. Thanks, S.A. Julio (talk) 06:59, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Just checked Timeless Bees, 100 YOB and BBB 70s and you're right. It might be a case of me, back in 2014–15, not quite knowing that it's league appearances only in the infobox and so I put the LC appearance in there, then at some point I assumed it was a league appearance and carried it over to the career statistics box! I've updated the article. 10:53, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Great, thanks for the help! Cheers, S.A. Julio (talk) 19:12, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
