His real name is Jonathan Evans and his real name is sometimes used in the media (examples = [1]). IMO, this article should be named Jonathan Evans (footballer). -- Tocino 22:50, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
Offical web sites also list him as 'Jonny Evans'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.70.96.92 ( talk) 18:21, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
Why is this topic locked? I'd like to add a link to the mention of Danny Simpson in the Sunderland paragraph. -- Jameswberk ( talk) 16:36, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Never mind. Sorted it. -- Jameswberk ( talk) 16:43, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Needs mentioned that he actually has made his fist team debut even though it says otherwise —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.24.154.7 ( talk) 15:38, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
Start of international section. "Despite having not yet made his senior debut for Manchester United" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.122.191 ( talk) 18:25, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
Thought you could use this article in some way: http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/premiership/evans-key-to-manchester-uniteds-future-says-owen-14863123.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.150.226.233 ( talk) 23:50, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
The line on Corry is outdated. He's too old to play for the academy, so he's now a reserve player, currently out on loan, at Hull. He is also a full international with Northern Ireland.

Mo ainm needs to outline exactly what the problem is with stating "Northern Irish"? Other than the fact they clearly don't like it going by their edit history in regards to this issue on other articles, what rationale is there for it?
Northern Irish is not an ethnicity. Northern Irish is not a nationality. Northern Irish is an identity for a growing population of Northern Ireland, however Northern Irish is simply a term to refer to someone from Northern Ireland. What is the problem with that? It is nothing new or controversial and attempts to seek its removal on the basis that it implies its an ethnicity or nationality is simply wrong. Its alright to say "from Northern Ireland", however it and "is a Northern Irish" is the same thing with the same meaning but with different grammer.
Might i query as to why Mo ainm hasn't raised this issue over at the relevant WikiProjects rather than sparring over it with continued edits and no discussion especially when editors disagree with him? For if they have a case then a manual of style in regards to it will need to be drawn up, consensed upon and implmented for all articles on people from Northern Ireland.

'While playing for United, he has been their only Northern Irish first team player.' What does this actually mean?? This sentence confuses me!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.23.70.24 ( talk) 00:01, 17 May 2012 (UTC) It makes no sense at all. He is the 31st Northern Irish first team player for Man Utd 86.146.86.12 ( talk) 10:49, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Can we find a better picture? I think the current is awful, it is zoomed in and at an odd angle. Ping me if you need me. Thanks L3X1 (distænt write) )evidence( 18:00, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
He had number 6 at wba, and Leicester have no number 6. He has no number currently. Shouldn’t he wear number 6? Tombo Elbo ( talk) 15:58, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
Just wondering why the FA Cup edit was reverted, despite the fact Johnny Evans was on the pitch during the final while Leicester won the cup?
