Harry Cairney[edit]

Article seems to have been created within minutes of the election to the Scottish Football League of Annan Athletic F.C., of wich Cairney is the manager. However the Scottish Third Division is not a fully professional league (the players are part-timers, also holding down day jobs), Annan is not a professional club, and none of the other clubs he played for or managed appear to have played at a fully professional level either......

Keep Made 28 appearances in the old Scottish Premier Division in the 1980-1981 and 1981-1982 seasons, according to Playerhistory. Mattythewhite (talk) 21:28, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Neil Brown's site would confirm the above. Played for Airdrie in the Scottish Prem in 80/81 and 81/82, and First Division in 82/3. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 21:47, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Here is an article of him reminiscing about playing for Airdrie against Rangers in 1981. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 06:31, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Seems to be plenty of national media articles about him, and years of professional play. Nfitz (talk) 07:52, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - that'll teach me not to double check what division Airdrie were in in 1981. I move to withdraw this AfD -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:51, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
