 * Comment there is some sourcing prior to his death e.g. (4 paragraphs about him),  (few sentences about him). I think more could exist, but the news results are skewed by the recent ones post-death. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:27, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak keep I feel there is just enough to pass GNG. Govvy (talk) 12:30, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete All of the references seem to be memorials after his death. And my understanding of WP:NFOOTY is that he would likely qualify as a head coach of a team, but not as just a member of the coaching staff.  -- Bob drobbs (talk) 23:10, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - obituary in the Independent is enough to confer notability. GiantSnowman 13:00, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, in principle. If the subject's notable enough for a decent length obituary in a major national newspaper, added to Joseph2302's first piece mentioned above, they're probably a bit more notable than what WP:NOTMEMORIAL is intended to cover. Plus Joseph2302's first piece above. The issue I have with the article as it stands is that most of the career content is copypasted from source #1, and if anyone here knows how to properly deal with that sort of thing, it'd be good if they could do so. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:43, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - I think the article sneaks by GNG. Paul Vaurie (talk) 22:41, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
