Hi, I found this page and discovered it needed Cleanup. I've done some work on it as follows:

1) Removing excessive linking - for example, every time Middlesbrough was mentioned it was turned into a link. Modified this so that only the first mention is turned into a link.

2) Editing text to match what I perceive an Encyclopedia Article to need - fewer references to "Craig" in referring to the player, trying to arrange text into logical paragraphs, tidying punctuation etc.

I think there is still more to do before it can be untagged, but it also could do with expansion in some areas - at the moment it seems to just take the career details from for example Soccerbase and present them in a more verbose way. I think it would be better to include some other details, and if I have time I may try and do this and add appropriate references - for example, I believe he scored the first goal at Middlesbrough's new stadium and took a pay cut to stay with them at one point - I don't have references to hand but they shouldn't be hard to find.
