  • ... that after the resignation of Brian Clough as Derby County F.C. manager club chairman Sam Longson gave impromptu press conferences from a hotel near the Baseball Ground while wearing his pyjamas? "Thursday marks the 14th anniversary of Clough's acrimonious departure from the Baseball Ground ... and the chairman, Sam Longson, having set up residence in a nearby hotel, was apt to give impromptu press conferences in his pyjamas" from: Lacey, David (12 October 1987).

  • Article was mainspaced at the time. Long enough and generally well-cited. Hook is cited, and is present in the article. No copyvio detected, and QPQ is done. Good to go, prefer ALT1 for brevity. Juxlos (talk) 10:11, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
