I'll review this article shortly. It'll of course be done before the 26th. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 16:19, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the issues I found:

"is an English former footballer and football manager." is a former English footballer.. sounds better to, but I can see why it is how it is.

", able to hold the ball up using his strength and power" not really sure what this means.

"After an indifferent two years in London" not quite sure what the wording it meant to imply here; a better word than indifferent should be used.

His playing career should be split up into a couple subsections; was hard to read through as is.

"He was released from Saltergate without being offered" when did he join Saltergate/tryout with them? It jumps right into that.
- Fixed. Satergate is Chesterfield's stadium.--Echetus Xe 08:45, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"just two points above the re-election zone." wouldn't it be the relegation zone?
- Back then the bottom division had a re-election zone, teams could avoid being relegated if they got enough votes.--Echetus Xe 08:45, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"For his part, Houchen said that Clark "would shout, and rant and rave, and tactically he wasn't particularly brilliant."" wouldn't Clark be saying that about Houchen, or was Clark a player-manager? Just checking, since on the surface it sounds like something that would be said on a player rather than a manager, but if it was about his managerial style then it's fine as is.
- He was referring to his managerial style.--Echetus Xe 08:45, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"This made the Englishman a hate figure at Easter Road, along with Joe Tortolano, who had some Italian heritage." huh? This and the prior sentence is iffy as it notes this issue yet there's no details about it in the article.

"(Houchen has always denied the accusation);" the parentheses should have a cite, though honestly i'm not a fan of having the phrase in there at all.

"as his replacement – who became the 23rd manager" i think having a semicolon after replacement, then saying he became sounds better.

I'll put the article on hold and pass when the issues are fixed. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 04:29, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. Last thing I saw is that the name and birthdate don't need to be reffed in the infobox, but if you want to keep them there there's nothing against that. I'll pass this article as a GA. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 15:53, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
