Fails WP:NFOOTY due to playing in an era before the English Football League was "fully professional". More importantly fails WP:GNG due to complete lack of WP:SIGCOV. Bring back Daz Sampson (talk) 20:13, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - playing in the Football League confers notability per WP:NFOOTBALL. Article needs improving, not deleting. GiantSnowman 16:21, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep Played in FA cup games a couple of league games, a few sources online, probably more offline sources out there. I feel this isn't a delete. Govvy (talk) 16:28, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per my comments at Austin Dunne above. No Great Shaker (talk) 19:53, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. I've expanded it a bit. There's enough coverage of his early career, before it was wrecked by injury and the war, to suggest a GNG pass. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 08:35, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep passes NFOOTY.--Ortizesp (talk) 14:48, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep passes WP:NFOOTY and the article is well-written for the most part. Paul Vaurie (talk) 23:02, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
