Birth date[edit]

An anon has added 16 November to Gourley's year of birth, and I have reverted this for the following reasons. Firstly, the info was unsourced. Secondly, the editor has a dubious edit history. And thirdly, this page shows an entirely different birth date (not that it can be regarded a reliable source). Schwede 66 17:21, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
