George Lyttleton-Rogers
... that 13 times Irish tennis champion and world pro doubles champion George Lyttleton-Rogers participated in the first ever live sport event broadcasted on TV in the Wimbledon opening match of 1937?
- ALT1:... that 13 times Irish tennis champion and world pro doubles champion George Lyttleton-Rogers was an amateur boxer as well and had a scheduled match against Don McCorkindale?

Article is new enough and long enough. ALT1 hook is sourced while the original one is not quite accurate - it was the first such event broadcast on TV in Great Britain. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:04, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
It seemed to me that the ALT1 hook was misleading: does "spar in the ring", the phrase used in the source, actually equal a match? It seems less formal than an actual boxing match. The hook's a bit misleading since the event never took place. I thought it fascinating that Lyttleton-Rogers was doing the training at McCorkindale's camp as part of his tennis prep.
