He played for Omagh in high-profile fundraising games the following year against Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool".

The article is long enough and new enough with no copyright violations, while also being neutral. A QPQ is not needed in this case. The hook is directly cited. This is ready to go. SL93 (talk) 02:18, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
