Pass Good Article Status
editWell written, covers all the career of the player including minor leagues, doesn't feature any major POV statements, although it is "flattering" to him. It is referenced, but could have more references. As it doesn't have any dangerous statements, I think it's enough to pass for GA. It is very stable, but could feature more images. Weighting everything, I believe this passes the Good Article criteria. Good work.--Serte * Talk * Contribs 22:54, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Calexico (Talk) 14:00, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC) He is a fairly famous sportsman in the UK, I have removed the POV parts and put the msg:stub disclaimer, and added a little bio from my knowledge...others can now add to it...

Personal life
editHi, this is a warning that the personal life information in this article is much too short. Any biography that is of GA standard must have at least one well organised paragraph describing the persons life outside of their field for which they are famous or otherwise incorporate that information elsewhere in the text. This article does not provide enough information on the person in question and does not give enough context for the incidents and information that is mentioned. For an example of how such a section might look, see Brian Urlacher and for pointers on how to expand and improve the section, see this guide. If this information is not improved then this article would be unlikely to survive a Good Article Reassessment and may well be delisted in the future.
