This article is new enough (created last Wednesday, January 27), long enough (over 3,200 characters), and mostly within general Wikipedia policy; it is neutral and
free of any apparent copyright issues. However, there are a couple of sections that are completely uncited ("Early life" and "Playing career") that need to be referenced before I can pass this DYK nomination.
The main hook is short enough, neutral, definitely interesting, and accurately cited in the article; I think it is the clear choice for the hook (neither of the alternates are as interesting, and both of them have citations issues).
As it stands, the only apparent issue with this article regarding DYK standards is the need for more citations, especially in the two completely uncited sections ("Early life" and "Playing career"). As soon as this is addressed, I will be more than happy to pass this nomination.

The necessary edits have been made and the two previously unreferenced sections are now adequately cited. This resolves my only concern with the article, and it is now good to go with the main hook.
