Atkins is a place in Virginia, can't make Wade work though!

More likely somebody Atkins provides the first name?

Everyone will have heard of him - for the forename think Rudyard Kipling.

A 'Tommy Atkins' was the nickname for an archetypal WWI soldier, right number of letters for the first name, but somehow I doubt it.....Alfie Atkins is a Swedush physicist, can't make owt from that though, nor chess player Henry....

Kipling....Kim, some Jungle book character maybe lol...

What a nightmare! Can't believe the pennys not dropped....can't even think of a dead well known boxer of those letters!

Tommy it is.

Should be easy now - funny I thought the Atkins clue was easy.

I'm away overnight - so if anyone thinks they've got it feel free to set a new clue.

Is the new one an anag of "leg viler", or "leg viler than (a)"?
