Won't fat Gat be remembered for his rebel tour of apartheid South Africa? Think this should be mentioned. David | Talk 16:25, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

You could have mentioned it in the article if you wanted to. But I don't think memories of him will all be bad. I'm going to add his stats now (the easy bit), and I'll try to come back and work on the prose sometime. Calsicol 29 June 2005 10:11 (UTC)

[edit] Rebel Tour

The section on the rebel tour needs sourcing and cleaning up. I deleted the "scabs" reference but it still is pretty unbalanced. Epeeist smudge 15:59, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

On reflection i deleted most of the information on the Rebel tour, for the following reasons.

1. It was all uncited. 2. Pejorative and POV language. 3. There was an link already to the article on the rebel Tour, where most of this information, if properly cited, belonged.

I'm not defending or covering up Gatt's decision on the tour. It was just the wrong words in the wrong place. Epeeist smudge 11:00, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
