Contested prod on basis "dePROD, reason (never played in pro league) invalid (aston villa is pro)" However soccerbase or any other source fails to mention any appearance for Aston Villa. this article confirms he only ever played non-league. one article in a local paper does not pass WP:GNG and he fails WP:ATHLETE Club Oranje T 22:41, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Keep - But there may be There is borderline notability. This link claims professional and International matches played, but it is far from a useable reliable source . The system works :-)  --Triwbe (talk) 07:29, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
 * There was a Gary Fitzpatrick who played in one league match for Leicester City in the 1989–90 season. It's unclear whether this is the same player as the one in the article here. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 11:04, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Note that the Birmingham Mail article linked above states that he was once on Leicester's books and went on to VS Rugby.... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:07, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
 * As does this. That also makes two reliable in-depth independent sources about him, which I'd suggest means he passes the GNG -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:12, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
 * The latter half of the career of the guy on this page matches with the details of the guy in the linked articles and the stats page, so I believe it is the same guy and the bit on this page about him having started his career with Villa is in error -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:15, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep According to this page He has played competition football vs Sheffield United it has Gary Fitzpatrick as making his debut against Sheffield United in competition. But it doesn't state which game or date he played know, so it's very weak. We could always email the website for an answer. But it could be someone else with the same name for all I know.

 * Keep - has played in a fully pro league and also passes GNG by virtue of two linked articles above -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:14, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
