Picking this up, review coming as soon as possible. Kosack (talk) 07:41, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Consider adding professional to the opening sentence. It's generally considered the norm to distinguish the fact that a footballer played at such a level.

• Link cap to Cap (sport).

Sorted.--EchetusXe 01:04, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• "However Derby were relegated at the end of the 1979–80 season", the however is probably unnecessary here I would say.

Sorted.--EchetusXe 01:04, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• "in goal for four Fourth Division and four FA Cup", sentence is a little repetitive with four uses of the same sound. Perhaps something like "played in eight matches, four in the Fourth Division and..."?

Sorted.--EchetusXe 01:04, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• What happened with the "comic goal"? Seems strange to mention it but not describe what happened.

I've removed the comic bit, he just played poorly in an embarrassing defeat.--EchetusXe 01:04, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Third paragraph ends without a ref.

Sorted.--EchetusXe 01:04, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• "two-time Ballon d'Or winner", this borders on a WP:PEACOCK term for me. Is it relevant to Cherry that he had won these? I'm not so sure.

Sorted.--EchetusXe 01:04, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• "to reach the third round of the FA Cup tie against First Division", this seems a little muddled with the addition of tie and the remaining part of the sentence.

Removed erroneous word.--EchetusXe 01:04, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Plymouth are linked before this, so repeating is a bit of an WP:OVERLINK.

Sorted.--EchetusXe 01:04, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• "only four of their next 19 games", it's generally advised to avoid switching between words and digits in the same sentence with comparable figures.

Sorted.--EchetusXe 01:04, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Minor point, but it's generally preferred to keep refs in numerical order. The sources for the table here are slightly out of sync.

Sorted.--EchetusXe 01:04, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• His FA Cup apps for Derby add up to 12 but only 8 are listed in the subtotal. I don't know if that throws any other totals out of sync?
• The Derby totals seem off as well, he's given 89 total apps in the subtotal but I count 93 in the season-by-season breakdown. That's probably related to the above point.

Derby only played one FA Cup game that season, must have been a typo.--EchetusXe 01:04, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Most of the article is sourced to his autobiography, but a few spot checks on the online refs available all appear to match up. No concerns here.

Nothing much to gripe about, this is a good quality article. A few minor points above, placed on hold for now while these are looked at. Kosack (talk) 09:56, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent, thank you for the review.--EchetusXe 01:04, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, great work on the article. All of my comments have been suitably addressed. Happy to promote. Kosack (talk) 10:04, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
