Improved to Good Article status by EchetusXe (talk). Self-nominated at 08:08, 3 September 2021 (UTC).
.... Good status and a pleasure to read. QPQ provided. The hook is interesting, but I can't think of a more concise way to say it. May be another editor might suggest one. Hook is in the article and the following citations lead to references with the fact. I found him on p.3 in [1] and in here,.... if you wanted to add. Copyvio is high because the article itself has been copied to elsewhere. The image is clearish and free. Initially thought it odd regarding his placing of hands, but googling footballers, it appears a common postion. Thank you. Whispyhistory (talk) 15:38, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
