Think of a word linked with crying, then inside that goes the other clue written backwards

Tyrone Mears

Tears for the crying bit

then men + or + y (first youth) reversed in the middle

Deffo needed the extra help!

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

Yeah, he was one of those that was on the fringes of my memory......a rather unstable place to be

Think I'm good to go, so:


That is a criminal in trouble

Current EPL footballer

Is it an anagram of i e ( that is) a criminal?

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

Daniel Agger

That is (ie) plus criminal - Lag - in trouble Danger.

Hooray!! Well solved D

I get a nice car

I could be David or Me...fancied the surname might end ford (for car) as a lot of surnames do.......

You are very much on track. Not Ford though, Footballer

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

No, just think of a nice car.

David Bentley

Correcto

Made hard work of that one

A walker is almost very stupid

(5,8)

Golfer

Scott Verplank.

A Walker = Scott (the singer)

almost very = Ver

Stupid = plank.

Well solved
