Authenticity check: A search reveals that the phrase "regarded by many" appears in the text. Is the phrase a symptom of a dubious statement? Could a source be quoted instead? Perhaps the "many" could be identified? Might text be edited to more genuinely reflect specific facts?

[edit] Billingham Synthonia

Could we add a sentence on the fact that he played for Billingham Synthonia in his youth, before going on National Service?


[edit] Hartlepool

Up until 1968 the club was called Hartlepools United following the merger of Hartlepool and West Hartlepool FC's so I have amended this from Harlepool to Hartlepools.Statto74 (talk) 12:39, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] England job

Maybe someone could add in something about his being the "people's choice" for England manager. There's a quote from him on the subject at the bottom, but I think he was widely regarded as the man for the job for several years, the FA baiscally being too fearful to give him the post. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MegdalePlace (talkcontribs) 19:05, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Leeds

The article requires more than 1 paragraph about his time at Leeds. It may have been just 44 days in a long career, but it was hugely significant. It's also useful to balance out the article. --Dweller (talk) 10:55, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nigel Clough

There is no mention of the working relationship Brian and Nigel had at Forest for quite a few years, and I think this is really worth mentioning, if not going into detail about it. Nigel was a great player, and was very popular in his time in Nottingham, and this must be in part due to his Dad. You could say this was yet another success for Brian!
