Dick, Kerr Ladies 4–0 St Helens Ladies
- ... that the attendance record for a women's club football game set on Boxing Day 1920 would not be exceeded for 99 years?
ALT1: ... that no English women's club football match has had more spectators than Boxing Day 1920?- ALT2: ... that of the three Christmas and Boxing Day football matches played at Goodison Park in 1920, by far the largest crowd was to watch the women's game?
- ALT3: ... that, due to a striker missing her train, right-back Alice Kell played as a forward and scored a hat-trick in the Dick, Kerr Ladies 1920 Boxing Day football match?

Hi Kingsif, great article that I am surprised didn't already exist as I remember reading about this match in the news a few years back, I added a couple of contemporary newspaper sources and a few details, hope you don't mind. Article created 15 December, exceeds minimum length and is well written; sources used look to be reliable and I noted no overly close paraphrasing in a random spot check; hooks are interesting, mentioned in article and check out to sources cited; I struck ALT1 as, while I think it is true, I don't think it is quite supported by the source used in the article (which states the record for the FA Cup competition); I added "football" to ALT3 to clarify which sport it is; a QPQ has been carried out. Could run in a Christmas set, or if the date of 27 December is stated instead of "Boxing Day" in the link, on that date - Dumelow (talk) 21:20, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
