Pacific Coast League

I have removed the claim from the article that Briggs played for the University of British Columbia team in the above league circa 1967-69. I'm sure this was inserted in good faith given a reference [1] was provided clearly showing a Jim Briggs played for this team. However, this Briggs was at Dundee United throughout this time, playing regularly until a leg break in early 1968 and then being mainly out injured. I did a quick search on newspapers.com for the PCL Briggs, and found him described as "a left winger from Prince George" on joining the University team, so clearly not the Scottish full back. It's here [2], if you have a subscription to see it. — Jellyman (talk) 19:54, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
