In my opinion, it's not such a interesting fact. Actually it's a form of the phrase that is used quite often in sports in order to show respect for a player. Alex discussion ★ 02:16, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
- Um, why the {{DYKno}}? We use that to mean "this nomination is hopeless unless you make a big change", e.g. a page that's way too short. Have you found problems aside from the hook? If so, please explain them; if not, please switch to the {{DYK?no}} template to demonstrate that you've not found other problems. You don't need to do a complete review in order to use the DYKno template; it simply says that you've found at least one problem. Nyttend (talk) 04:23, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
Done The article is 
new, within policy, long enough, well written and referenced, but I still think the hook could be better. Alex discussion ★ 08:42, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
