Can we have some more clues please? Is the footballer 'former' as in dead?

Cleopas

Post by Cleopas » 31 Aug 2006, 20:46

Helsinki was offered earlier ... and is wrong ... think 2 words.

The former footballer was a TV pundit and is alive, but not welcome.

2. What is that strange human-like creature??
8. Doiiing Doiiing Doiiing …
9. Former English footballer who sounds like a place name?? (Romney Marsh)
13. The Devil’s Domain
16. Annoyed to be there at the finish
23. Dried metallic fruit??

Clues;

2. Think of another sex other than masculine.
8. A number is involved
9. Swampy ground.
13. Lucifer's Realm ... in other words
16. Another word for "finish" and a sour disposition.
23. Small dried fruit and the British export of Roman times.

There you are ... so easy now ....

I saw him play when he was at QPR. We booed him all the way through the game. Ironically, he was replaced by Carlisle's Stan Bowles. Have I told you about Stan Bowles, the King of Brunton Park?
