1989 Football League Third Division play-off Final

  • ... that Robbie Earle was appointed an MBE ten years after scoring an "MBE" in a play-off final? (Source "Vale got the breakthrough seven minutes into the second half - through the tried and trusted “MBE” method. Mills took a corner, Beckford flicked it on and Earle came roaring in to head the ball into the net. It was his 19th goal of the season and certainly the most important - but also the fourth headed goal he had scored against Rovers in four games that season" & Source "Wimbledon captain Robbie Earle was also awarded an MBE.")
  • ... that Bristol Rovers were reported to have reached a 1989 play-off final "against every apparent law of logic"?[1]
  • ... Simon Mills had to postpone his honeymoon to play in the 1989 Third Division play-off final?[2]

  • Substantial article, meeting of GA criteria implicates DYK pass. Article was nominated within 7 days of passing GA. QPQ has been completed. No pings on Earwigs for copyvio or close paraphrasing. The hook feels a bit esoteric; the pun requires too much existing knowledge of the source material to make sense at first read. I think an alt hook or hooks are needed here.

I have added a couple more hooks for your consideration. thanks.EchetusXe 15:58, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
Approved for both alt hooks, though I think the latter is the most interesting. Morgan695 (talk) 23:35, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
