    • ALT1:... that by winning promotion during the 1920–21 season Cardiff City F.C. became the first Welsh club to reach the top tier of English football? Source: The Times (subscription) "Never before has Wales had representation in the Championship competition"

  • Date and length fine. For interest, I am approving ALT1 as I think it's more interesting to know the first time that the top flight of English football had a foreign team in it. QPQ done, no close paraphrasing. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 17:07, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
