Danny Higginbotham
[edit]
Higginbotham with Gibraltar in 2014
- ... that footballer Danny Higginbotham made his international debut for Gibraltar in their first official match, just two months before he retired from club football?
- ALT1:... that Sir Alex Ferguson gave Danny Higginbotham a four-year professional contract whilst Higginbotham was serving a year-long ban from football?

Overall: 
@EchetusXe: - timing, size, QPQ. copyvio check etc. all check out - But there are 10 references that have dead links - some predate the GA review and all pre-date the GA approval. I think the ALT1 text is better, it is one of those "wait what?" kind of things that'd make me want to stop and read more. MPJ-US 15:31, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
