Vandalism?

Removed this "On the 11th March 2014, Lescott announced his civil partenrship with Jay Locking. " I'm assuming with the typo and the unverified info that this was vandalism? Not sure how long it's been up though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SulacLarice (talk • contribs) 10:23, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Injury?

Joleon, the clingon off star trek, has an incredibly fucked up forehead. Does anyone know how it got so messed up, a birth defect or more likely a car accident? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.7.253 (talk) 19:41, September 24, 2006 (UTC)

Frank Ribery's looks worse. And it doesn't seem to affect his playing. --MartinUK 23:01, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In the references is one to an article in The Independent which descibes the accident he had when he stepped into the path of a car as he left primary school. JMcC (talk) 12:03, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

My edit reverted suspected vandalism by 61.18.170.70 to a version by Jackrm

I didn't have time to do a full edit summary, as the England match was on at the time. I thought the offensive material should be removed as soon as possible though. 91.11.86.109 15:58, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your revert, I warned the user. — jacĸrм (talk) 16:02, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It has bee vandalised again.

"As part of an intergalactic treaty, Lescott is the first Klingon to play a professional sport on earth."

I've just deleted it now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Uboat (talk • contribs) 03:39, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Photo

Can someone find a photo thats not of the back of his head? Why was that chosen? Was it to try and decrease the vandalism or something? JimBrownish (talk) 16:26, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's the only free image. If someone could go to a game and take a picture of his scar I think we'd all be grateful. Spiderone (talk) 16:28, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a good shot, from him in an England kit. Would put it on the page, but it's protected from editing: http://content.mcfc.co.uk/~/media/Images/Home/News/Team%20News/2009/signings/lescott220809.ashx?as=0&dmc=0&h=450&thn=0&w=800 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thanatos80 (talk • contribs) 20:19, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This page needs to be edited

It is CATAGORICALLY CONFIRMED that Joleon Lescott has been transferred to Manchester City: http://www.mcfc.co.uk/News/Team-news/2009/August/Lescott-deal-agreed. Someone TRIED to edit this page, a few moments ago, but it was changed back (probably by an Everton fan who can't deal with reality). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thanatos80 (talk • contribs)

Said link explicitly states: The move is subject to the player agreeing personal terms and passing a medical. We don't overhaul an article based on a preliminary agreement per WP:CRYSTAL. Also, no personal attacks please. Thanks. --Madchester (talk) 02:01, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

{{editsemiprotected}} Everton Fc in the opening line is a red article.

Not any more - I guess someone fixed it. Chzz ► 20:13, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled

Lescott is now a Manchester City player confirmed on Man City's official website —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.132.2.68 (talk) 22:36, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

BBC Confirm

Look guys, it's been confirmed by the Beeb. It's happend. He plays for Man City. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_city/8216645.stm Twsf (talk) 23:23, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Image

Does anyone have a better picture?

The current one shows the back of a person wearing a shirt with Lescott's name on the back. In all fairness that could be a guy playing in the park. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.130.129.249 (talk) 23:14, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I uploaded that picture and I can assure you it is Lescott. Maybe you can find a better one yourself rather than depend one someone else to do it? Mattythewhite (talk) 15:52, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Table

The bottom two rows of the career stats table don't line up with the correct columns but I have no idea how to do it myself.

Villa fan

I held the widely held belief that Lescott only announced himself as a Villa fan after joining but it is stated here when he scores an equaliser for Everton on 7th December 2008 Everton 2-3 Aston Villa. JorgeLaArdilla (talk) 17:35, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
