Talk:Glenbuck Cherrypickers F.C.

This is my first article - first edit, indeed - so please do feel free to suggest anything that's wrong about how I did it.

In particular, I have reasonable reference points from pdfs (and printed documents) for everything I added. Should I add individual references to each source at each point, although most will be kinda "opus cit" and "ibid"? And if so should I give page numbers within the pdfs?

Would a list of the fifty players who went on to compete at a professional level, together with the names of their clubs be desirable (I have one available)? Or is that lengthy overkill? Endie 08:35, 10 July 2006 (UTC)Endie

I'd like to see one, perhaps as seperate page "List of..." not sure how you'd complete the title and keep it a reasonable length though. :) --Bedders 09:40, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Good idea, but also a fair point about the length of the page name: "List of Professional Players produced by Glenbuck Cherrypickers" is unwieldy, but I don't know what to cut out. --Endie 14:21, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Maybe "List of notable Glenbuck Cherrypickers players" and then state why on the page --Bedders 15:34, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

The display of the English FA cup in 1901

In the article it states that the original F A cup was displayed in Glenbuck before being stolen while in the custody of Aston Villa in 1905. The original cup was stolen from the window of William Shilcock's sports shop in Birmingham in 1895. If the cup was displayed in Glenbuck then it was the second such trophy, which for the record was not made of gold either and did not suffer the same fate as the original. The second trophy was pirated in 1909, which led the FA to present the cup to Lord Kinnaird and commision a new trophy. This new third trophy was used from 1910 to 1991 before the present and fourth trophy came into use. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.101.22.92 (talk) 21:28, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

50,000 professional footballers

"On a per-capita basis, this is equivalent to a city the size of London producing 50,000 professional footballers every year for half a century" - the figure would be impressive but this appears over-inflated. 7 to 14,000 is the figure I get, depending on the population figure for London used (city or metropolitan area). (50 players over 50 years with a population of 1000 equates to one player per year per 1000 of population; so (e.g) 7.5 million in London produces 7500.)
