• Easily long enough (1953 characters), created three days ago, solid sourcing, hook in article and short enough. No problems with the article, so ready to go. I would suggest a different hook, however; in my eyes the current one is rather bland. Couldn't you do something with him getting cheered for his performance in a nine-goal loss? Minor question: is "team-mate" proper UK usage? US usage has no hyphen, so I don't know whether it's an WP:ENGVAR issue or a typo. Nyttend (talk) 02:19, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
