I just thought I'd say Zesh isn't the first muslim to play in the premier league, plenty of players from muslim countries, morocco, algeria egypt etc have already played for clubs. Zeshan is the first British-Pakistani to play for a club.

Possibly also the first British-born Muslim - almost certainly the first to be born a Muslim (perhaps there are British-born converts in the league?)--MartinUK (talk) 00:24, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

International career section needs work

This section contains too much original research (or POV) and should be modified. I don't think it is very encyclopedic to say that his lack of England U-21 call-ups was a "kick in the teeth". Jogurney 21:21, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Setanta Sports Blog

Maybe add somewhere that he blogs for setanta sports? —Preceding unsigned comment added by KaleemMyster (talk • contribs) 02:29, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Surely he no longer blogs for Setanta Sports as that company no longer exists? --Allanlewis (talk) 13:49, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

GA nomination

I've added about 8 or so sources to help. I'm new to this so forgive me. Spiderone (talk) 17:00, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll add a few more citations to the QPR section as it is largely unsourced. Spiderone (talk) 09:00, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

When I quote things, you can use ctrl+f to search the page for the specific line I quoted.

"inspires the next generation of [British] Asian footballers." Why is "British" in brackets?
Appropriately edited. RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 07:36, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"placed on the transfer list following a disciplinary matter." What was the matter? It seems from the source that it was about comments made earlier. What were the comments?
DoneRRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 07:36, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"defending admirably" this is puffery that should be avoided.
DoneRRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 07:36, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The use of quotes, particularly the pull quote, is problematic. The information could and should be better incorporated through paraphrasing or is not particularly important. They seem to be Rehman's opinions on the moves and are dropped without comment which isn't very useful. Further, they cause a break from the encyclopedic tone, and pull quotes contribute to a non-neutral tone. (see WP:QUOTEFARM)
Done RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 07:36, 8 January 2016 (UTC) - removed them as they are unimportant. (I am positive to this.) Ikhtiar H (talk) 13:47, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Footnote 4 needs to be fixed as it seems to be missing a parameter.

Done. RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 07:36, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A number of citations need to be edited so that the dates are consistent.

The last image is very low quality. I would recommend against using it.
