Must admit I got it from the extra hint then worked back.

Units of sound follow Jon's musical mate!

Vangelis Moras

Jon & Vangelis + Mora

Eat quiet, then hit a couple of thousand runs all over the place!

Current international cricketer

Eat = Dine

Quiet = Sh

Couple of 1000 = KK

Could be Dinesh Karthik..... can't make the 'arthi' work though.....

Correct

Hit a + kk + r (anag)

(Runs = R on scoreboard / stats)

Oh yeah

Cry before Cameron, reportedly?

Sport: football (current)

Letters: 3,4

One that fits the letters is Joe Hart but I'm not how that fits the clue if at all.

I assume the Cameron bit relates to Diaz, or a surname that sounds very much like it.
Can't see it being David or James Cameron,
unless it sounds like PM, eg. Piem, lol.

Then I guess we need a 3 letter first name that sounds like a synonym for cry...

Sob Dias? Never heard of him

Hint: Joe Hart is the right position but wrong player!

On the right lines with David Cameron too

Lee Camp is my best guess?

Not really sure of the "workings out" mind, something along the lines of Cry - Leek (reportedly perhaps coming into that) ? Cameron - MP, perhaps Ca-mp? At least it's 3,4

Absolutely spot on Fred!

Yep, reportedly is just another 'we hear' jobby...

So cry = lee k = Lee C

Cameron is a MP

Bravo!!

(PS: England's number 1 )

Bounce by a Wiltshire village

Bobby Charlton?

Bounce = Bob
by = by
a Wiltshire Village = Charlton

Tis indeed

the algebra is confusing

Gareth Bale. Neatly worded

Bird of French quality

Championship footballer / in World cup squad for his country

Of in french is de or des - am I on the right lines?

Hi Ig.....Yep, De is the first two letters of the surname

(3,7)

Jay DeMerit ? - American born Watford player

Jay - is a bird, of in French - De , quality - Merit

Jay DeMerit

Spot on! Well done Fred
