Macclesfield Town edit
- "and attended local schools Ivy Bank Primary school" - school can begin with a capital letter
- You can add that Macclesfield manager Keith Alexander was impressed by Brisley that he signed him to a professional contract when the player was 18 as stated in Reference 4
- "He made his professional debut for the "Silkmen" on 1 March 2008," - no team nicknames please
- "He ended the 2007–08 season with ten League Two appearances to his name. He went on to establish himself in the Macclesfield's defence, featuring 43 times across the 2008–09 campaign, scoring goals in both the League Cup and FA Cup. He scored two goals in 36 appearances in the 2009–10 season" - all this information needs to be verified by a reliable source

- "He played a total of seven games during his time at Glanford Park, though featured only three times after Mark Robins succeeded Wilcox as manager. He also played a total of 16 times for Peterborough during the 2014–15 season." - all this text needs to be verified by a reliable source
- Wikilink transfer-listed to Transfer market
- "he joined League Two side Northampton Town on a one-month loan deal." - Northampton Town of League Two for a one-month loan agreement.
- ""Cobblers" manager Chris Wilder said that the news was "disappointing because he's been superb for us"." - no team nicknames please

- Reference 15 "Chesterfield 1-3 Peterborough" is missing the author

Improved to Good Article status by EchetusXe (talk). Self-nominated at 15:42, 2 November 2020 (UTC).
- Seeing a comment was made on 3 November but not a full review, I will conduct a full review (though I agree with Buidhe's comments about the hook)
Article is long enough (7259 characters), is a GA, nominated in time (became GA on 1 November, nominated on 2 November), and article is within policy
As highlighted above, a hook that a vegan thinks veganism has helped them is uninteresting, as it's very common for vegans to post support for veganism. Please can you provide a more interesting hook?- QPQ done
EchetusXe Overall, the article is good (no pun intended!), but the hook is not. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:27, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
- I have to say that there aren't many vegan footballers. How about we just change the hook to state that he became vegan and not mention the fitness quote?EchetusXe 13:31, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
- There are quite a few famous vegan footballers ([1], [2], [3]), and I just don't see how someone being vegan is that interesting of a hook. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:07, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
- Okay I'll have to reach a bit for something interesting with this otherwise rather ordinary footballer. But reading again through the article this angle stood out for me:
