International career

Milne made his debut Would be good to put his age explicitly here.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 15:12, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Style of play

Another former Dundee United teammate, Davie Dodds You should have mentioned that Hegarty was a former Dundee United teammate, and used "another teammate" for Dodds.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 15:12, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Personal life

Can we have the full names and possibly some idea about the background of his wives?
- No background information exists for his wives I don't think, but I added a sentence for his last long term girlfriend. His two sons issued a notice of thanks to Dundee United following Milne's death, but I imagine his former wives might not want to be described in his Wikipedia article anyway, with him being such a difficult partner and all.--Echetus Xe 15:12, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
~~Duplink: Jim McLean~~
- Done.--Echetus Xe 15:12, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
He died Say "Milne died", lest "he" be confused with McLean
- Done.--Echetus Xe 15:12, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That should be all. Good luck! Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 09:37, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Update: A bit busy now, I think I will be able to get to this only by the end of this week. Cheers! Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 18:42, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks for the suggestions.--Echetus Xe 15:13, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I notice no more issues in the article. Glad to promote this. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 15:51, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
