Improved to Good Article status by The Rambling Man (talk). Nominated by Valereee (talk) at 15:36, 29 July 2020 (UTC).
Hi Valereee, review follows; article created GA 26 July, article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; due to the shear number of them I only checked a sample of the sources for overly close paraphrasing but found nothing worrying; I've struck ALT1 as I don't know that we can call it a curse, rather than a run of bad luck (though perhaps it could be placed in quotation marks), a curse to me would suggest that someone had pronounced that the team would suffer bad luck; ALT0 is fine, mentioned in article and backed up by the source; a QPQ has been carried out. No issues here - Dumelow (talk) 07:17, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
