5x expanded by Muboshgu (talk). Self-nominated at 04:12, 1 October 2022 (UTC).[reply]

@Muboshgu: Very recently expanded and meets all reqs. Really like the ALT0 hook. It's properly sourced and interesting, while keeping it concise. I think it'll draw more than just sports-interested readers. ALT1a and ALT1b are also good, probably would lean ALT1a between those two, but ALT0 overall. QPQ is done. This one is good to go for the DYK section. Soulbust (talk) 14:52, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks. I prefer ALT0 as well, but threw up 1a and 1b in case someone had a problem with 0. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:11, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
