Overall:
Okay so there's a very minor issue here, and technically it's not in the hook, but the article:
The source claims that Jean Elliott lost a finger ("But, our local hero, Jean, who even lost a finger playing football [...]"
), but she was a defender, not a goalkeeper: "Jean, who played in midfield for her Chiltern Valley Ladies team, but at left back for the Lionesses"
. The Wikipedia article states She has said she thinks he did this after their goalkeeper, another player from the RAF, lost a finger during practice.
I indeed didn't listen to the entire podcast, so maybe it's cleared up there. If you could check that, it'd be great. No other issues, will approve once solved. –

She has said she thinks he did this after their goalkeeperis what the article and the podcast source say; but the hook ALT0 says "because". I think it would need to say "likely because" or sth, because it's only Wilson's impression that the events were correlated. Also, the wiki article doesn't seem to mention she was the "youngest football captain"? Even then, she was likely the youngest female captain. I think the original hook might still be adjusted to work (and it's a little more hooky imo, because yeah missing finger...); but if not, ALT1 is an alternative. – LordPeterII ( talk) 15:04, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
