• ... that during the 1953–54 season, footballer Frank Dudley's first three goals were scored for different clubs in three different divisions? The Independent obituary Oz White player profile
  • ALT1:... that, as a teenager, footballer Frank Dudley gave up on turning professional due to his height? Oz White player profile The Who's Who of Cardiff City: "As a 15-year-old, Dudley was only 5ft 4in tall and had no ambitions to be a footballer"

• Article has had its prose portion expanded fivefold, is an appropriate length, is neutral, has no citation issues. I thought the hook was appropriately long and was interesting to me, even though I do not care at all about football/soccer/sports. Their QPQ was done with the Doris Frankel article. There is no image to worry about. Overall, I think this is a great pick, meets all of the criteria aforementioned, and I would suggest that it be okayed for a DYK. Good work.

• Hi, I came by to promote this, and was intrigued by ALT1, but it assumes I know he became a great player afterwards (though I've never heard of him). What do you think about embellishing the hook:
• ALT1a: ... that as a teenager, footballer Frank Dudley gave up on turning professional due to his height—and then experienced a 7-inch (18 cm) growth spurt? Yoninah (talk) 00:24, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

Your revision sounds good to me. Kosack (talk) 06:28, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

• Thank you. Could another reviewer sign off on ALT1a? Pinging @Kmwebber:. Yoninah (talk) 10:37, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

Yes sounds absolutely fine to me @Yoninah. Kmwebber (talk) 14:11, 17 July 2017‎ (UTC)
