Murdock played 4 matches during the 1997-98 Primeira Liga (Portugal's highest level and fully professional) for Varzim so this statement is incorrect. Passes FOOTYN Nowoco 10:12, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I am not sure whether this is a reliable source. I was also not able to find anything on doing WP:Before. Kichu🐘 Need any help? 10:41, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep This source listed on Wikiproject Football as good gives the same information (in Portuguese) also here only 4 top tier matches but in my opinion passes NFOOTY  JW 1961 Talk 13:20, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
 * If you set the ZeroZero source to check his games between 1996 and 2000, you can see that he has featured in several games in the Portuguese 1st division and in the Portuguese 2nd division, which are both fully professional. He has also played in the Portuguese Cup. So the nomination statement is wrong. RetiredDuke (talk) 14:09, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Here you go: 96/97, 97/98, 98/99, 99/00. RetiredDuke (talk) 14:15, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , can I make sure these sources are reliable to establish NFOOTY so that I can withdraw this nom. I opened this AFD at the first place because I couldnt find any reliable sources. Kichu🐘 Need any help? 14:36, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Considering that ZeroZero and the Portuguese League have a partnership concerning the treatment of statistical and historical data, and the Liga said of it that it was "unanimously recognized as the reference platform in the treatment of football data", I would say that it is a reliable source when it comes to these records.

 * , see also here WikiProject Football/Links which says good links for Portuguese football. Thanks  JW 1961 Talk 15:48, 3 April 2021 (UTC)


 * I would like to withdraw the nom as other editors have shown evidences to prove this player is notable. Thank you, and especially  Kichu🐘 Need any help? 15:57, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
