QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Kosack: QPQ still pending. I noted some issues:
* The source mentions that the transfer involved Hillier and Jennings, not Warren
* Source [1], which is used extensively, is an offline source so any quotes would be appreciated. This includes the Bridgend Town/Swansea Town parts
* I counted 65 appearances, not 63, from [3], unless you discount the FA Cup ones.
* Is it BLP policy to assume he's dead?

• • @Juxlos: Replies to your points above:
  • Source added for triple transfer.
  • A quote from the off line source:

"A butcher by trade, goalkeeper Joe Hillier started out with his home town team Bridgend prior to a trial with Swansea. However, it was with Cardiff that he turned professional..."

• • Only league appearances are counted in infoboxes.
  • I have no idea if it's BLP policy, but Eddie Jenkins was the oldest former Cardiff player still living when he died in 2005 and Hillier was born before him.
