Overall: thewillnigeria seem to not have vetted the claim of first few players to play for all three. I note that they have attributed it to a collegue, I know about these clubs and I am not sure if that claim by his collegue is reliable, it may be but cannot say for sure. Due to the lack of vetting by the reliable source, I suggest the ALT0 drop the phrase first few. Playing for all three is also an Interesting DYK. I dont find ALT1 as interesting as ALT0.

  • ALT0, WP:TOI is not reliable. It is known to publish unverified claims. Outlook is certainly better. Venkat TL (talk) 16:48, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
    • I don't feel comfortable with promoting this if that is the case. SL93 (talk) 06:46, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
