@Kosack: Copyvio is clear and article is long and new enough. Hooks are both in the source, but sources 2 and 3 (books) are offline and I can't see them. Particularly,
- He initially signed for the club as an amateur before making his professional debut in a 0–0 draw with Newport County on 14 September 1935 in the Third Division South. He was forced to wait until April 1936 before making another appearance, playing in the final five matches of the 1935–36 season.
- However, he made only four further appearances over the following two seasons,[3] spending the majority of his time playing in the club's reserve side.
- have no accessible sources for me - can you provide a quote/picture from the book? Juxlos (talk) 13:41, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
- Bryn Davies joined the Bluebirds in 1935 as an amateur...
- Most of his time at Ninian Park was spent in the reserves...
- Both of the lines above are from The Who's Who of Cardiff City by Dean Hayes. The rest is interpreted from a stats table in Richard Shepherd's book. Kosack (talk) 14:14, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
