Spelling of surname

I was adding the player's height and noticed that my cited source, the 1987–88 Rothmans (might need to register to read it), spelt him Higginbottom and not Higginbotham as created here. Per all reliable sources I can find, including those in the article, that would seem to be the correct spelling:

Hugman: http://hugmansfootballers.com/player/8924

Neil Brown: http://www.neilbrown.newcastlefans.com/player4/andyhigginbottom.html

Crystal Palace FC website: https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/2012/july/appearances/

Holmesdale.net: https://www.holmesdale.net/page.php?id=111&player=376

Chesterfield FC: https://www.chesterfield-fc.co.uk/news/20192/august/20190801-lounges-receive-a-makeover/

etc etc etc. I'll move him. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 16:26, 30 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
