I'm sure this isn't correct , but it fits in with the clue. There was a Yorkshire cricketer of the 1880s called Louis Hall. Louis is a common name for a French King, and we have the Albert Hall.

I was wondering if French leader just meant F so are we looking for someone called Fred or Frank. Albert ? Prince Albert , Ashwell Prince, and I'm sure there was a singer called Albert Hammond , so that could be Wally Hammond. None of these really fit though.

Morning Ig, It's a total farce isn't it! I'm hoping this latest move by them is one last desperate but futile attempt. I really can't believe the hide of them. They certainly refuse to go quietly, but the sooner the better, I really can't believe how the name of the club has been dragged down by these two buffoons!

Napoleon Einstein. I'd never heard of him! How did he get that name.

It's a belter isn't it? Sorry if it was a bit obscure, but when I stumbled across his name I just couldn't resist it!!
