Glad you cleared that up as the friend I phoned didn't know the answer either.

Looking into it there were a number of UK named nuclear weapons over the years and this will make for a good connection on OC, so thanks for that Stephen! :D It has gone in my 2019/20 folder.

Usual fee?

I thought you might like that one Herc, or the gist of it.

:O F**k me! When did that go up? Oh I see, looking on ourselves as semi-pro now are we. Cool

Can you crack this sporty connection? Not too sure googling will help, getting on a bit and watching a lot of sport on telly will.

Have they all been involved in comebacks of one sort or another Alfred ?

Or is it about breaking rules like the draft or South African ban ?

It looks like at least two of them have yes but it's coincidental to my connection which is a lot lighter - that's a clue.

It's the broad range (?) of the tennis players with the "appropriate" that is confusing me :-

I did this because that's how OC works on telly, for the straight connections round, if a contestant gets it after 3 clues then any correct answer will do as there can be several examples. For clue 4 it's not just tennis players, it could be a player from any sport known for this thing, but it was a bit easier to identify tennis players rather than well known enough golfers for example. That help? :S

......................known for this thing......... :S

Oooer.

Er......yes (?) clear as mud...........I think. :D

If no one gets it by tea time I'll give the answer to stop it dragging on. I'll be surprised if someone who likes their sport doesn't get this but it's a funny old world. Another clue.

...............it's a funny old world, Saint

Ahhh! And there lies the rub as I'm not what you might call heavily into sport - there's never a Steve Sunshine about when you want one........... Cool

Muhammad Ali
Graham Gooch
John Virgo
Henri Leconte

all share their surname with a film director

Imtiaz Ali
Martin Gooch
Clement Virgo
Patrice Leconte

I have a feeling that's not the connection Alf is looking for but it's the best I've got at this moment in time. Laughing out loud
