Untitled[edit]

Nice article. Prior to the sentence about his transfer to Reading you could mention that in August 2003 Tottenham Hotspurs negotiated a $2million transfer to obtain Convey, conditional to receiving the necessary work permit. The British Home Office refused the permit, however, offering their official football judgement that Convey wasn't sufficiently qualified as an international. His subsequent signing and outstanding development with Reading has shown the value of the Home Office's judgement.

5 years on from this comment - career faded into obscurity. The Home Office got it right actually, luckily for Spurs - not good enough to play in English football, let alone for Spurs.

Name[edit]

I've reverted the edit to include "jr" in Bobby's name. I've seen no reference to indicate that is part of his name... his father may have the same name as him, but that doesn't make "jr" or "junior" part of his name. Robwingfield ^(talk) 21:25, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism[edit]

As we may have noticed, there's been some vandalism by Cricketballfever to the article. Luckily, the user in question has now been indefibanned. Between me, 82.198.230.123 and Faithlessthewonderboy I think we've caught all of them but if anyone spots any more please do feel free to change it.
