• ... that "the Roly Poly Goalie" once headbutted a fan for insulting his weight? Mirror
  • ALT1:... that goalkeeper Wayne Shaw was offered a job as a pie taster after resigning from Sutton United after eating a pasty on television in the FA Cup? The Independant
  • ALT2:... that the Roly Poly Goalie ate all the pies? ITVSun

• Reviewed: The Holy Trinity (The Grand Tour)
• Comment: Currently undergoing an AFD but looking like it will be kept. ALT2 is for April Fools Day

Created by Мне отмщение, и аз воздам (talk), The C of E (talk), and Sussexpeople (talk). Nominated by The C of E (talk) at 09:13, 23 February 2017 (UTC).

• Note that this DYK nomination is dependent on the outcome of the AfD discussion. Nevertheless, I shall conduct a review as it looks like the AfD will probably be a keep.
•  On hold Article is new enough (created 20 February, nominated 23 February) and long enough (3210 characters). Article is within the policies of neutral, well cited and not a copyvio. Although notability is currently being discussed- if it passes AfD then this can be a tick rather than on hold.
• Y Hooks are short enough, interesting and supported by inline citations. I like ALT0 the least- my preference would be ALT2 for April Fool's Day hook, although ALT1 as a normal hook would be fine too.
• Y QPQ done
•  On hold This nomination cannot be accepted whilst the AfD discussion is ongoing. Assuming that the article is kept, I will then be happy to pass this nomination. Joseph2302 (talk) 20:06, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

• Fair enough about ALT0, I've realised now that it could be a BLP issue too, so I'm more than happy to move towards the April Fools line. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 22:15, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

• @Joseph2302: The AFD has concluded and it has been kept. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 21:56, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

• This is now good to go, per my previous review. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:18, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
