Dan Jones (footballer, born 1994)
- ...
that footballer Dan Jones discovered that he was talented at taking throw-ins after having been a javelin thrower at school?Source: link “I didn’t play football until I was about 12 and never even used it until I went to Barrow (four years ago). But I did javelin as a kid and enjoyed athletics, so it must have come from that"

Hook eligibility:
- Cited:
- Interesting:
- Other problems:
- I had a little trouble parsing the phrasing of the hook. Suggest ALT1 ... that footballer Dan Jones credits his skill at taking throw-ins to having been a javelin thrower as a child?
| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
New GA (same day as nomination), well-sourced and neutral. No copyvio concerns, proper QPQ done. Hook is sourced and interesting. I've suggested alternative wording, ALT1, above; @EchetusXe: keen for your thoughts on that? Chocmilk03 (talk) 05:12, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- Yeah that new hook is better worded than mine.EchetusXe 11:14, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
Excellent, thanks! Requesting new reviewer for ALT1 (I had forgotten I would need to do this, apologies!). The rest of the criteria are met. Chocmilk03 (talk) 22:00, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
