@PearlyGigs: I had intended to promote Alt2 from here to the queue as I personally found it most interesting, but before I do so the sentence ending "tried to make him become a right-footed player" needs a citation per WP:DYKHFC. I presume the best way to do this would be to duplicate citation number 6, but as I don't have access to the source can I ask you to confirm and add this? CSJJ104 (talk) 18:05, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi, CSJJ104. You are right that it's on page 7 of the H&W book. I've placed a specific citation after the hook sentence, and amended the one for the following sentence which is on page 8. Hope this is okay. Thanks very much and best wishes. PearlyGigs (talk) 20:02, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
