Bent began as a forward, playing at inside left, [...]. — Ixtal ( T / C ) ⁂ Non nobis solum. 15:25, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
Byrne praised Bent, describing him as a "valuable prospect" who makes Byrne "strive to keep my position".This double repetition of Byrne's name reads awkwardly. — Ixtal ( T / C ) ⁂ Non nobis solum. 15:25, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
The neglected state of his grave has been a regular press story; in 1988 the Manchester Evening News ran a story, in which Bent's widow, Marion, said she could not afford to maintain the grave.I suggest you find a way to simplify or divide this sentence, as the semicolon followed by three commas makes it hard to read. — Ixtal ( T / C ) ⁂ Non nobis solum. 15:25, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
