Total goals

Why is it shown as 22+ for total goals in the infobox, particularly as the forthcoming DYK claims he scored precisely 60? The Rambling Man (talk) 09:06, 12 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Because the infobox only shows league stats, whereas he scored 60 goals in his entire career. We do not know how many league goals he scored for Crawley - just the total he scored for them in all competitions. Giant Snowman 09:28, 12 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Aha, I see now that the 38 has been removed. Was Crawley full professional while he played for them? Is it 100% accurate to claim he scored 60 goals in his "professional" career if some of it wasn't fully professional? The Rambling Man (talk) 10:29, 12 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

No, they would have been semi-pro as this was their non-league days. Maybe re-word to "senior career" or just "career"? Giant Snowman 10:36, 12 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Ok, thanks! The Rambling Man (talk) 20:08, 12 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
