Rationale for move

[edit]

Article was written when authors of reliable book sources didn't have easy access to newspaper sources online, and clearly someone assumed that the player went by his first given name, Ernest, rather than his second, Colin. The contemporary news articles now sourcing the expanded version show throughout his career, at all clubs, that he was known as Colin. Additionally, standard online stats sources including Barry Hugman's Footballers and the English National Football Archive (ENFA) list him as Colin: subscription required for the detail, but the free search link shows the player's common name: Beardshaw, EC (Colin). cheers, Struway2 (talk) 16:45, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
