 * Symbol question.svg 5x expansion is recent enough and long enough. Earwig's Copyvio Detector and spot-checking reveal no close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations or plagiarism. The hook idea is good, but the article itself has "with Hazlett receiving a punch to the face during the melee", and the source has "At the end, I saw the crowd running on to the field. George Hazlett, the inside right, was caught on the face with a fist." It might be reasonable to infer that it was a supporter of the opposition team (Linfield) that punched him, but neither the article nor the source are explicit. I have added an ALT1 that hopefully addresses this. Have disambiguated "Farnborough" in the article. NPOV throughout. Well-cited throughout. Edwardx (talk) 11:16, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
