Lead

• "Dean Whitehead (born 12 January 1982) is an English former professional footballer and coach who now coaches at EFL League Two club Port Vale." The section that is bolded seems a bit hard to read.
  • Done.--EchetusXe 22:23, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
• "Whitehead joined his local non-League club Abingdon Town before he signed for Football League club Oxford United in 1999." Which division in the football league? Be more clear.

• "In the 2007–08 season, Whitehead played in the right-back position against Tottenham Hotspur in the opening game of the season, before sustaining a cruciate knee ligament injury in a match against Wigan Athletic in August, which ruled him out for six months."
