Tom Pope
Tom Pope warming up for Port Vale in 2013
- ... that Tom Pope became the second highest goalscorer in Port Vale's history after twice being rejected by the club as a teenager? Source: "Pope is in his second spell with the Alex and has also had two unsuccessful trials at Vale Park" (link) "The goal was Pope’s 109th in a Vale shirt - taking him clear as the club’s post-war record scorer one clear of Martin Foyle." Source: link "So, he was visibly moved to have reached his century with the winner at Northampton this afternoon, making him only the third Vale player to score 100 goals. Tom Pope. Martin Foyle, Wilf KIrkham. That's fine company indeed, as Pope appreciates." Source: link

- Comment: Bit convoluted for the sources but I think the quotes confirm the hook

Recent GA, hook is interesting and properly cited, though I'm assuming good faith on the complex explanation for why it's verifiable. Image is suitably licenced and uploaded by the nominator (nice!) No copyvio concerns. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:11, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but there is no inline cite for the hook fact about being the second-highest goalscorer. Yoninah (talk) 19:07, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- That goal against City moved Pope up to second on Port Vale’s all-time goalscoring list ahead of Martin Foyle.EchetusXe 09:51, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Echetus: Oh, now I see it further down in the article, with a cite. I was looking at this sentence:
He established himself in the Alex first team in 2007–08, and his seven goals put him as the club's second highest scorer after Nicky Maynard.
which does not have a cite. Could you add one there please? Yoninah (talk) 12:52, 20 October 2020 (UTC) Re-ping @EchetusXe: Yoninah (talk) 12:52, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
