Hello fred - how do you feel about the LFC debacle?

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!

Nice attempt David, but not on track I'm afraid. Letters: 8,8. Nationality: Indian. Initials: N,E

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!!

Cameron acts gay and sounds simple

If it's any consolation I don't know the Emmerdale anagram

Fishy sardine wail

Adrian Lewis , an anagram of sardine wail

Bullseye

You muppet, erm, ay, it's in here.

Peter May, as concealed within the text, instructed by the 'its in here' bit.

Who.....?

Yes , Peter May , a very famous England cricketer of the 1950s.

Devon, where everything's available

Very topical , Malcolm Allison.

Devon Malcolm and available - all - is - on.

Yup, well solved David. RIP Big Mal.

Napoleon's bird, short, thick, sounds like a horse I own , for starters

Napoleon's bird = Josephine, Joe for short
Thick = Dim
sounds like a horse = a gg
I own for starters = first letter of both = io

Joe Di Maggio

Yes. And I thought that one might be tricky

Got the 'gg-io' bit quite quickly and worked back from there!

Rice thrown at Bill

Eric Gates?
