I was thinking in the middle of crying was ry---in, someone called ryan perhaps. Not sure if I've heard of Tyrone Mears, though I do struggle with footballers these days. Some guy I've never heard of called Kyle Walker is playing for England this week.

Cricketers , athletes or golfers I,n ok with

No, 'that is' is not an anagram indicator.

Criminal and trouble are straightforward synonyms, 'in' is an instruction.

Hope that helps

I meant was ieacriminal as an anagram with in trouble being the indicator. Never mind it was wrong anyway.

Crimiinal might be con umm someone Connor. I'm off now so someone should have solved it by the time I get back.

Sorry I misunderstood you David. As it happens, your 'that is = i e' theory is correct

Well, if nice = Good and Car(r) = Willie, the Coventry player famous for the donkey free kick, the answer could be David Goodwillie?
