Sorry folks, I very nearly did kill it didn't I.

Oh well, A Coli made a similar error earlier so I am in good company....

I'm going to have to sit this one out: every time I read mysterious girl all I think of is Peter Andre! It's very distressing!

Andrew Napton ?

Thanks for the Andre reference, Hog. Wouldn't have known that without you (I can't keep up with you young 'uns).

I'll wait for verification from Mooro before setting another clue, in case this one's hopelessly wrong.

I can verify that Boris is indeed hopelessly wrong (although I thought he was the one most likely to get this one).

Jordan Holder? - But I can't work out how you get Holder.

Hog had the Andre reference correct...
Since their recent well-publicised split, Peter Andre is no longer 'holder' of Jordan (aka Katie Price).
Just to continue the downward turn this particular clue has taken this thread, the term Jordan Holder could also be applied to a loner's fist.

Finally, the player Jordan Holder was the last product from the OUFC youth team to make his debut at the Manor....

Over to you Mally....
