Tom Barrass

 * ... that Australian rules footballer Tom Barrass (pictured) injured his back while using a dustpan and missed six matches? "I was going down to dustpan some stuff off the floor and that was the end of me," Barrass said.
 * ALT1: ... that using a dustpan caused Australian rules footballer Tom Barrass (pictured) to miss six matches? Source: as above
 * Reviewed: Not required (fourth DYK nom)
 * Comment: No preference for either hook; the first is technically more accurate, but not as much of a teaser as the second

 * Symbol confirmed.svg 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. ALT0 hook is interesting and hook ref verified and cited inline. (I find the ALT1 hook to be weak rather than teasing, so I struck it.) Image is freely licensed. Good to go.
