 * Three randomly selected spot checks suggest that this article could probably be sourced sentence by sentence to news reports, various histories of sports teams, and the like. But I have not found an attempt to construct a biography of this person, or join the dots.  What is known about this person, from what I can find at any rate, is basically a disconnected set of factoids about business ownerships.  And the factoids wouldn't join up anyway.  Two separate books by sports people have this person, in anecdotes, as a fan of two different sports teams at the same time, for starters.  Uncle G (talk) 12:46, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
