No. Nothing to do with Adam.
"reportedly" is key to most of the clue, so start from there, then put the "issue" after. |

Yeah, it's a bit of a toughie.
This should help.... Reportedly: 1) Belonging to first person 2) to remove inferior(s) 3) entrance +issue |

1) Very close with "mine", but shorter (and: sounds like).
3) Sounds like a word for an entrance "issue" (4) is in the typical cryptic crossword sense (literal, not 'sounds like') Admittedly, the "sounds like: to remove inferiors" part (2) is the toughest/shabbiest bit. |

Yup. "My cull door son", it was.
Issue = offspring/child(ren) = son |

Mate of Dennis Hopper starts gambling at the races
Former footballer, largely Prem, 1991-2001 (6,8) Suggest if you solve the hopper cryptic, it'll remind you of the rest of the player's name

Hi Ig, no I'm afraid not. Races could easily just be 'race' really....it refers to a sport but not horse racing

Right answer Fred!
![]() Meant start gambling as just the g at = @ looks like 'a' tt = race and hopper = frog as you say ![]() The first name was pants but I needed a Dennis to go with my hopper!.....it was Hugh Dennis who's mate is Steve Punt....y'know.....Punt & Dennis, Mary Whitehouse Experience, etc?! Well done again
