5x expanded by Hawkeye7 (talk). Self nominated at 06:04, 30 June 2013 (UTC).

• Article long enough, expanded enough, and fully cited; hook short enough, interesting enough, and cited to on/offline sources. I removed "1967" from the hook since we don't mention when he was hired and "later" renders it unnecessary anyway. My one suggestion for the article is that the lead could stand another sentence or two but not a stopper for DYK. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 06:41, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
  • I've expanded the introduction. Would you mind assessing the article? It is still classed as a stub. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:40, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
    • Of course, meant to do so earlier but must've been distracted... ;-) Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 01:46, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
