~~They were though knocked out of the European Cup at the quarter-final stage by eventual winners Ajax~~ ~~- odd place to stick a "though:....~~

Done.--Echetus Xe 14:51, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~~Kennedy was a substitute as he lost his first team place late in the season due to fatigue~~ ~~- I think this needs more explanation. Do you mean fatigue over the season or he'd lose stamina during a game?~~

Fatigue caused him to lose stamina during a game, though I guess this could partly be a mental thing? Anyway I re-ordered the sentence.--Echetus Xe 14:51, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~~Para 6 (1972–73 season) of Arsenal has alotta "Kennedy" s in it~~

Ah yeah, was careful to not confuse McLintock and Kennedy. Removed a couple of Kennedys.--Echetus Xe 14:51, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~~Arsenal were poor throughout the 1973–74 season,~~ ~~- meaning they ran out of money?~~

Point taken.--Echetus Xe 14:51, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

...~~the demise of the Double winning team.~~ ~~- hyphen?~~

Done.--Echetus Xe 14:51, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~~In July 1974, Kennedy was sold to Liverpool for a club record £200,000.~~ ~~- err, we need four refs for this why?~~

Removed 3.--Echetus Xe 14:51, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~~as the "Reds" went on to record a comfortable 3–0 win~~ ~~- why the quote marks around the nickname?~~

Done.--Echetus Xe 14:51, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~~The "Swans" had an unsuccessful attempt...~~ ~~- ditto~~

Done.--Echetus Xe 14:51, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Earwig's copyvio tool clear.

Overall a good read - not much to complain about really.....on target for GA. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 03:05, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In Liverpool section, it is more like telling Liverpool history rather than Ray’s story. Paisley Liverpool (talk) 16:28, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
