Dele Adebola is wrong but you're correct with both of your workings out so far
Ignazio

Forename Dale?

Nope sorry

We need to solve the loose woman!

Slut, tart, slag...(apols for the unpleasant language - just trying to solve the clue!)

Then I guess that gets scrambled with D E A L B A

Unless Loose Woman is one of the presenters of the TV show? I'm know it's JBO's favourite

Sport or letters please JBO.

Terrence has pretty much nailed all the ingredients in his last post.


I should be seeing this footballer in action this weekend.

Had to cheat really.....I obviously know you support the Owls, so I looked up Wednesday's and Saturday's opponents QPR's squads on Wiki....

Sure enough, there's a hoop named Adel Taarabt (), 'tart' being the loose woman....
JBO

Bad deal = Adel
confuses airline and a loose woman = BA & a tart


Adel Taraabt

A tight spot - I did think Justin Pipe.

Sadly Justin has 6 letters.

James Wade

Tight spot = jam
oddly easy = (e)a(s)y
to walk through = wade

Good clue, TC! Was really struggling with that until you revealed the sport.


Silvers grip around potassium is really extreme

(4,7)
Ignazio

Phil Vickery?
Ignazio
08-11-2009
I'm certain I'm right.

Silvers = Phil. Grip around potassium = Vice around K = Vicke. really extreme = ry = Vickery.

So here's my clue.

Muhammad takes a step up, before the owl takes shelter
Terrence Chant

ta for praising my clue t'other day PA, glad you got it in the end

Muhammad = Ali
step = stair
brown owl
shelter = lee

Cross country runner / triathlete Alistair Brownlee

We hear brief fib will cost victory
Partyanimal

Nikolai Valuev

We hear brief fib = Nikolai (knicker lie)

will cost victory = Value - v



Tempts hint anew? Anew!


It's getting harder to think of sportspersons to cryptify**







** for want of a better verb!!!!
Terrence Chant
11-11-2009
Hmmm, 'anew' suggests an anagram...

Tried scrambling 'tempts hint anew' but can't solve it. Letters might be handy
