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

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