5x expansion confirmed. Hook reliably sourced, though I think you should include the name of the player in the picture. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:04, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the review Muboshgu. The problem with identifying and linking Rick Leach is that it will divert readers from the featured pages which is the 1976 team. The purpose of DYK is to draw eyes to the newly-created/expanded article. The Leach article is not very good, and linking to it will lead people there instead. For that reason, I prefer sticking with the alt 1 hook. If people want to know the name of the person pictured, they can either find the information by clicking on the 1976 team article or by clicking on the photo itself.
