Articles I contribute to edit
I regularly contribute to a wide variety of professional football league articles, among those in particular are; England's Premier League, The Championship, League One and League Two, Scotland's Scottish Premiership, Italy's Serie A, Serie B and Lega Pro, as well as France's Ligue 1 and Germany's Bundesliga and on the off chance Austria's A. Bundesliga. Sometimes I also like to throw in a little bit of The Netherlands' Eredivisie and Turkey's Süper Lig for good measure. In addition to leagues, I also edit both player and club articles related to Association football.

My deleted articles edit
- St. Mary's Y.M.A. (created on 22 August 2015) → article was merged with History of Southampton following discussions on WT:FOOTY in mid-September of the same year. This was one of the first articles if not the first I created on Wikipedia.
- Southampton F.C. Under-23s (created on 30 May 2016) → article was merged with The Saints Academy. After Crowsus proposed that the two articles be merged, I agreed and even requested my article be deleted.
Article maintenance edit
Player articles edit
- Andrea Petagna - had not been properly edited (updated) until my edits on 26 January 2016, with the exception of Luxic's contributions to the article on 25 Jan.
- Beram Kayal - I may have somewhat messed up the layout of the career statistics chart but it was done unintentionally and only in good faith. Firstly I discovered that the data for his debut season with the Seagulls the 2014–15 season was missing from his career history. Secondly, I found that he has made over 40 appearances this season and that only the first nine were recorded.
- Matt Targett - despite having the link to his Player Profile on the Saints website it was incorrectly stated that his place of birth was Winchester when in actual fact it is Eastleigh. Southampton can corroborate that story. Shamefully though no one had noticed the mistake, even though they would surely have quick access to his Saints profile via the Matt Targett: Player Profile link attached to the article.
- Sam Vokes - much like with Matt Targett; Vokes was listed as being born in Lymington when in fact he was actually born in Southampton and raised in Lymington. I wanted to edit this but someone had already fixed it before I could intervene. My point is that this had gone unnoticed for quite some time.
- Carlos Carbonero - listed on Wikipedia (EN) as being on loan to Sampdoria from Roma. However, on Wikipedia (IT), he is listed as being a Sampdoria player on loan from Fénix so which is it? In the Italian version of the Carbonero article, the player has been mentioned in some sort of agreement between Cesena and Roma, but strangely neither club appears under the teams he has played for in his senior career.
- Sebastián Coates - updated career stats for last season with Sporting CP and have added statistical data for the 2016/17 season.
