Only claim to notability is from technically passing WP:NFOOTBALL for playing one game of professional football in the Football League Trophy; a totally inconsequential appearance. I could find no evidence of being able to pass WP:GNG from this appearance alone nor his subsequent career as a semi-pro/amateur. There is a growing consensus that footballers that only just pass NFOOTY can and should be deleted if GNG is comprehensively failed. The best sources that I could find were a brief mention in a local paper and a transfer announcement. Spiderone 10:39, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - scraping by on NFOOTBALL is insufficient when GNG is failed so comprehensively. Giant Snowman 12:33, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. REDMAN 2019 (talk) 13:00, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A non-notable figure in the context of a general encyclopaedia who would probably only get a brief and cursory mention on a specialist Fandom site. RobinCarmody (talk) 03:27, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
