[edit] "Nationality given from place of birth"
I don't really like this idea for the current squad. No-one would classify, for example, Terry Butcher as a Singaporean. Glynn Hurst was born in Barnsley. It's common to assume nationality from place of birth if no other clues are obvious. I'm therefore removing the note "Nationality given from place of birth". sʟυмɢυм • т • c 20:44, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
- Also David Buchanan was born in England, yet has Northern Irish nationality through his father. Here I would say his nationality would be classed as N. Ireland, because he plays for the under-21s. -- Boothman /tɔːk/ 15:18, 13 November 2006 (UTC).
JVD once score goal against Bury FC. I was playing for Stoke City and make big diving header goal.
[edit] This claim makes no sense...
The sentence "Recently Bury became the first football club to score a thousand goals in the top four tiers of the English football league." makes no sense to me. Since the football league has been going since the 1888, nearly 120 years, and dozens of clubs must have reached this milestone. Several clubs scored over 80 goals in the 06/07 season alone. There is no evidence to back the claim in any case. Oneeye 15:40, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

- Maybe you want to edit the text then so it makes sense, and if there was a lot of publicity then it should be easy to cite a reliable source. Oneeye 20:44, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Shaker's nickname
They are nicknamed 'The Shakers' due to first chairman, JT Ingham who, before a Lancashire Cup game with Blackburn, said "We will shake them. In fact, we are the Shakers."
Hi, nice article. I wonder if the statement above could be referenced. I am aware many current supporters believe it and it may well be accurate. Are you sure it is a complete co-incidence that the early Shakers (i.e. religious movement) were I believe once active in the Greater Manchester area? --Steve Mercury (talk) 21:11, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
