Derek Dougan

[edit]
  • ... that Derek Dougan negotiated the first shirt sponsorship deal in English football?

Improved to Good Article status by EchetusXe (talk). Self-nominated at 21:35, 22 August 2016 (UTC).

  • This is new enough (GA promotion on Aug 22) and certainly long enough. QPQ is completed as indicated. Article appears neutral and free of BLP violations. The first proposed hook is supported by an offline source - a published book - which I obviously don't have immediate access to and, in any event, might not be scholarly in nature. Hook 2 is more interesting to me and seems better supported. I approve as to ALT2 but would be OK, in good faith, with the primary suggested hook if EchetusXe so indicates before promotion.
