The controversy section states things as though they are facts. It says that Glen John forgot his passport, whereas Glen Johnson says that Chelsea lost his passport. The Sun is not exactly the most reliable source, so I would say you put both sides of the story or make it more neutral. You can't go around saying things are fact if there is no solid proof. The same goes for the toilet seat story, while he did pay a fine, he claims he was not stealing anything. There was just a price mix-up. Why would he steal a toilet seat? Its senseless, but people think that's what outrageous footballers do. They don't. -- 82.30.11.76 ( talk) 15:09, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
There is absolutely nothing notable about a driving ban. Millions of people receive driving bans or suspensions each year. It COULD be notable, if Johnson, as a result of his speeding, were involved in an accident which injured him, or something similar to that. If Tom Cruise got a speeding ticket we wouldn't print that, if Peyton Manning ended up having his license suspended we wouldn't print that. There is litearlly nothing encyclopedic about somebody getting a driving ban, unless there are numerous instances and they are widely reported on. Batman2005 18:34, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
I have protected the page for seven days so as to stop the ongoing edit war and instead encourage the editors involved in the dispute to seek a resolution through discussions. It is important to note that protection is not an endoresement of the current version, see meta:Wrong version for a humorous look at this issue.
Simply continuously reverting each others edits are disruptive to this process. WP:BRD is no excuse to ignore Wikipedia's core principles of resolving disputes through collaboration between editors. WP:BRD states, "Reverting doesn't help build consensus: Do not revert a revert." There is nothing on that page which permits constant reverting.
The two editors involved should use this time wisely, to discuss the article and seek a compromise solution with which they can both be happy whilst recognising that Wikipedia is of course a collaborative effort. It may be useful to seek the views of others who may be interested in this issue. I presume there will be a football WikiProject and there would be an appropriate place to highlight this ongoing dispute to try to build a consensus. Adambro 22:10, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
The picture of him look so horrible and makes the whole wikipedia page look unprofessional. I havn't got the skill to change it myself because I dont know how to use Wikipedia but Im begging for someone to please change it to a more appealing one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.28.218.152 ( talk) 17:47, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Am i missing something, but what is the difference between score and result in this table? Result means what the score was at the end of the match and so in this instance is incorrect, the result was 3-1 not 3-3. If it is meant to be what score did his goal make it 3-1 in the match, fair enough, but that still makes the result wrong. I'll revisit in weeks' time and change it if no-one else has an explanation.
