Date of death

[edit]

The book I have, The Clarets Chronicles: The Definitive History of Burnley Football Club, says that Donaghy was killed in action in 1917 while fighting in the First World War. Was wondering how we should deal with the greatly varying sources. -- BigDom 17:18, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also here. The only source for his 1953 death seems to be a football site of unknown reliability. Does the article need moving to "Donaghey"? O Fenian (talk) 17:27, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, the sources I have don't mention a date of death for Donaghy, and the only ones that actually spell his name that way are both Manchester United books. "Football League Players' Records 1888 to 1939" by Michael Joyce refers to him as "Donaghey". Since I have no idea where MUFCInfo.com gets its MUFC info from, I suggest that Donaghy's date of death be changed, but I'm still not sure about changing the spelling of his name. – PeeJay 22:43, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
