It does not appear to meet WP:N; the article asserts this person has played in Barnet F.C., but only as a reserve. Tizio 13:45, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete - Barnet F.C. would have been an amateur club during this person's career in any case (having not gained promotion to the Football League until 1991), definitely meaning he would fail WP:BIO. Qwghlm 14:16, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless it can be proven that he also played for a team in The Football League or a cricket team in the County Championship - both teams he is listed as having played for don't even come close to satisfying WP:BIO (Barnet having been in the Athenian League during the 1950s).....

 * Weak delete - if he played for Barnet in 1958, he may have been in the FA Amateur Cup (a more significant trophy in those days than it is under its FA Trophy name now) team of 1958-59 - but unless he can be shown to have played a significant part in the cup run, or gone on to better things somewhere else, certainly not notable if he just sat on the bench for two seasons. -  Irides centi   (talk to me!)  17:52, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * A pedant writes: he wouldn't even have managed to sit on the bench, as substitutes had not been introduced in the '50s.... :-) ChrisTheDude 23:30, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence of amateur first team appearances, never mind professional ones. Oldelpaso 19:21, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
