Correct Ig
Spot - Mark, everything - All, 2 points - e n (east, north)
Hmm....
Confused is probably an anagram indicator.....not sure that dancer can be scrambled into a name though? Maybe we need a synonym for dancer instead....
Pointless troll could be troll - r l l = to, or
Stig - t = sig
Bit of a snooze could be sno, sn or maybe zz

Hi Terence - confused is an anagram indicator and a synonym for a dancer.
Wrong track with troll but in the right direction with your latter guess at snooze.
I'm away for the weekend so a couple more clues:
Letters 6 and 5.
He's a current world champion.
Forename is an anagram of a synonym.

Hmm.... (Eff) F off (rank) ...is Frank the christian name? although I can't get Lampard in so it's probably not ha!
Fair enough, but Lam normally means hit or strike.
Big Eastender goes a long way ,to the Albert Hall initiallly.

Almost certainly not him , but Michael Taylor ( cricketer of the 1970s)
George - Michael
Taylor - sounds like man of the cloth - Tailor
Michael is right
Man was just to indicate a man named (George) Michael.
'of the' is passive
So you just need a soundalike synonym of cloth

Stuggling with this one. I even looked up types of cloth.!
