Style of play
[edit]Anyone have any material on Ronnie's style of play? (such a section seems to appear in most football FAs and GAs, but I'm not sure if it is considered mandatory in order to reach such a status) At Albion he sat in front of the back four and pointed a lot... --Jameboy (talk) 12:30, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- I've seen him several times for Huddersfield. He played central midfield and was very much a rugged 'enforcer'. He also has a hard shot and netted three times in 16 appearances. BlueValour (talk) 02:22, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Initial Sheffield Wednesday contract
[edit]I have altered this, again, to 'until the end of the season'. None of the sources I have seen say a 'six-moth contract'. For example, take the official Owls site here. BlueValour (talk) 02:19, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
England under-20 stats
[edit]I'm having trouble locating Wallwork's England under-20 stats. The following articles confirm that he played in the team [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] but beyond that I can't find number of apps and goals. The stats at theFA.com don't seem to go back far enough. Can anyone help? Thanks. --Jameboy (talk) 18:37, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Comments
[edit]Lead:
- "United loaned out Wallwork to Carlisle United, Stockport County and Royal Antwerp." sounds a bit choppy to me, possibly link this sentence to the following one (i.e. ...Royal Antwerp, where he was banned from football...)?
- Amended this one. Peanut4 (talk) 20:11, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
- I've re-jigged it further, please let me know what you think (or if Peanut4's edit was better I'll go with that... whichever really) --Jameboy (talk) 23:21, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
- To be honest, I much prefer yours. Peanut4 (talk) 23:28, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
- Seconded. -AMBerry (t|c) 09:55, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Manchester United
- The opening sentence on Wallwork's loan spell at Antwerp could possibly do with rephrasing, at the moment it doesn't quite sound right.
- Because of the two relative clauses? Changed it around, let me know if it's OK. --Jameboy (talk) 23:00, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
- Sounds much better now, thanks. -AMBerry (t|c) 09:55, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
West Bromwich Albion
- "The move [to Huddersfield] was prompted by Town's escalating injury crisis." Is there a source for this statement?
- Good question. The only sources I can find [6] and [7] suggest he was brought in for his experience. I'll wait for User:Jameboy, the original nominator, to see what he thinks. Peanut4 (talk) 20:11, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
- I've removed the sentence. An article on the Huddersfield Town site mentions a couple of players suffering from "illness", which is a bit non-descript. However it is just one of several loan spells he completed and the reasons aren't particularly important IMO. If you disagree then I'll happily pop in a quote from (Huddersfield manager) Andy Ritchie, mentioning (as Peanut4 says) Wallwork's experience. --Jameboy (talk) 22:32, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Apart from those points above I can't see anything that would prevent GA, so it's on hold for now. -AMBerry (t|c) 19:36, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
