• ... that footballer Tony Bird of Barry Town missed out on the 1997 European Golden Shoe award to Barcelona's Ronaldo following the introduction of a points based ranking system, despite scoring eight more goals than the Brazilian?

5x expanded by Kosack (talk). Self-nominated at 15:41, 21 June 2016 (UTC).

• This article needs further expansion to make 5x. The last revision before expansion (on 6 April) is counted at 1,629 characters of prose, and the current version is 6,213 characters. I'd say it needs around another 2,000 characters to make a 5x expansion. Bcp67 (talk) 20:49, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

Not sure how I managed to miscalculate that. I won't have enough material to increase the prose enough to reach the required level. Nomination withdrawn. Kosack (talk) 21:39, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
