I've been contacted by User:143.117.233.224 regarding the title of this page. He provided me two sources pointing to the spelling as McClean. Neither however is conclusive as they only note the surname, so it could be another player. The sources linked to me were [1] and [2]. Snowolf How can I help? 20:45, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
The 1st source has his full name mentioned 2 times in the article, with McClean mentioned twice on its own.
I don't know if you accept facebook, but here is his actual facebook page also:

However the BBC changes its mind - for example:
To me the most authoritative source would be the local paper which uses McLean
But also uses McClean
Do we assume the official league sponsors would have it right? McLean
McClean
Even RTE have used both versions in the same article:
Ridiculous... this site also has both spellings in the same article:
I guess if it is actually his Facebook page then that might settle it... because at this point I have no idea... I am leaning back towards McClean.

I have removed one obviously politically charged section from the article: [3]. It's not up to us to decide whether people are mistaken to think something like this. This paragraph should be rewritten, and only then can it be included. 83.80.18.68 ( talk) 16:54, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
Alluded "McClean identifies as Irish instead of Northern Irish and has therefore opted to represent Ireland" or "McClean identifies as Irish instead of Northern Irish", that is alluding bud. BRD, the edit was not new, the bold edit was removing the edit then. Consensus seems to with the table version. The use of "has been quick to correct" I would remove and just use "has corrected".

West Bromwich Albion:
The player is more commonly known as Salomon Rondon (with the diacritical marks on the penultimate letters in both names.
2016/17 looks like an odd way to type in a named season so that would be changed into 2016–17.
The 4-2 scoreline should have the hyphen replaced with a – to make it 4–2.

The standard format on all other footballers' pages is to either display their nationality based on what national football team they played for (such as Achraf Hakimi or Antonee Robinson), or at least state the country of their birth and the national team they represent (such as Ademola Lookman or Tariq Lamptey).
