Waisale Serevi[edit]

Hey. Sorry to bug you like I do, but was wondering if could you help with the Waisale Serevi article? The specific section of the article i'm talking about is the bit about his French clubs, Stade Montois, then Stade Bordelais. I've added as much as I can discover in English, but there isn't much out there. Was also wondering if you could find out whether he learn't french? Thanks. - Shudda ^talk 10:07, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, he was interviewed in March 2001, in the report it is said that he and his family speak english and that the interview had to be in english (with a good dictionary) [1]. Dingy 02:09, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Club[edit]

To me, this seems out of place where it currently is. May need a change of heading. I think we should be dealing with his play in Fiji, then his international representative career - and only then with his role as wandering professional club player. Just a suggestion, I personally won't be making a change, so if you agree you'll need to DIY... - Snori (talk) 00:17, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
