Comment: The term "goals" is used in many sports, and a global audience is unlikely to be familiar with Dhyan Chand, making this hook somewhat ambiguous; it should be amended to mention he played field hockey. Mind matrix 18:13, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

@Mindmatrix: I have made a change to include the sport. - Vivvt (Talk) 20:48, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

This article is a five-fold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are sourced inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. The image is in the public domain but has much of its information missing. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:25, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
