List of Birmingham City F.C. players[edit]

A few days ago I found a couple of players I'd missed out, after which I've checked again through my sources and am fairly sure now that this list's complete now. The idea is to get it to featured list status, so please have a look and let me know anything it's missing or could do better.

I've got to pop out shortly but at a very quick first glance, I have to say the image caption with all the links in it looks really silly. Personally I'd shorten/amend it to: "Maik Taylor, the club's most capped player" ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:24, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from The Rambling Man (talk · contribs)

Hey Struway2, just got back from holidays so apologies for belated comments, but, for what they're worth, here you go:

  • While you've got objective reasons for including most players, I can't see a reason for Frederick Speller. I understand he played "back in the day" when appearances were hard to come by but I'm not sure that his inclusion isn't POV, he's the only one that doesn't meet any specific criteria.
  • "no other player comes close." - is this necessary? It'd be worth stating who came second and how far behind they were I reckon.
  • "still active for the club" - not sure this is really a football term. I think it's probably an Americanism, maybe just "still play for the club" would be more Brit-Eng?

Other than that it looks very good to me, nice work. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:34, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
