Bob Jones (footballer, born 1902)

 * ... that footballer Bob Jones was signed by Everton as a goalkeeper, despite originally playing as a left half, after the original goalkeeper failed to arrive at a trial? Source: Great Harwood F.C. website
 * Reviewed: Zebrida adamsii

 * Yes check.svg Y Article is long enough (2903 characters), new enough (created & nominated on 8 October), and article is within policy.
 * Yes check.svg Y QPQ done.
 * Symbol question.svg Hook is short enough and interesting, however I don't believe that Great Harwood Town F.C.'s unofficial website is a reliable source, as I doubt this site has editoral oversight, and so I'd see it as a questionable source. Do you have another source that verifies this hook? Joseph2302 (talk) 17:46, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I would normally avoid using a site such as this but the author of the site does appear to be employed by the club in an official capacity so would appear to have access to historical club archives. Kosack (talk) 18:03, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Fine by me then. Nomination approved. Joseph2302 (talk) 20:42, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
