The name appears to be spelt wrong - the player himself uses only one T. Unfortunately the only reference available to this is are social networking sites he subscribes to, which should not be ref'd for privacy reasons.

I can also confirm D.O.B as 1981, as do SUFC matchday programmes. (El gringo999 (talk) 14:34, 17 June 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Matthew sparrow

I logged in to see my page was missing two honours in it throughout my career.

League two 2004-2005, 2013-2014

Kind regards matt sparrow Robbie7777777 (talk) 01:15, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Robbie7777777: Hi, I've reverted this for now as an unsourced change. However, given the rest of the honours are also unsourced, I'll try to find the time to verify the existing list and your additions. Regards, Nzd (talk) 08:24, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Robbie7777777: I've had a look at your changes and for both of these seasons, 2004–05 and 2013–14, Scunthorpe finished second. These both meant promotion so should probably be included in the article text, but I believe there is a consensus not to include runner's-up spots within the Honours section for League competitions.

It's still an honour and winning promotion is as good as going up as champions? The aim before every season has started was to get promoted to the next league up. Also for the play off final against millwall I scored two goals, I think you've only put me down as scoring one goal.

@Robbie7777777: I see what your saying and have some sympathy, but that's the consensus view. I've amended the line in the prose to mention both goals (the stats table seems to account for both). Thanks, Nzd (talk) 09:24, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My senior honours have disappeared on my page, appearances and goals and clubs etc.

Hi I’ve just updated my page with my current club Gwelup Croatia and since saving it, it has jumbled up my senior career page. Is there a way of how to get that all back in the correct order?

Kind Regards. Robbie7777777 (talk) 07:58, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
